HOME > SPORTS > FOOTBALL > SUPER BOWLS
The NFC champion San Francisco 49ers won their fourth Super Bowl championship with a 55-10 victory over AFC champion Denver.
The 49ers -- XVI, XIX and XXIII -- tied the Pittsburgh Steelers for most Super Bowl victories.
The Steelers captured Super Bowls IX, X, XIII, and XIV.
San Francisco's 55 points broke the previous Super Bowl scoring mark of 46 points by Chicago in Super Bowl XX. San Francisco scored touchdowns on four of its six first-half possessions to hold a 27-3 lead at halftime.
Interceptions by Michael Walter and Chet Brooks ended the Broncos' first two possessions of the second half.
San Francisco quarterback Joe Montana was named the Super Bowl most valuable player for a record third time. Montana completed 22 of 29 passes for 297 yards and a Super Bowl-record five touchdowns.
Jerry Rice, Super Bowl XXIII most valuable player, caught seven passes for 148 yards and three touchdowns.
The 49ers' domination included first downs (28 to 12), net yards (461 to 167), and time of possession (39:31 to 20:29).
Super Bowl XXIV: MVP Joe Montana, QB, San Francisco 49ers
Montana augmented an already impressive Super Bowl resume by winning his third MVP award (he also won MVP honors in Super Bowls XVI and XIX).
In a game of big numbers, Joe Montana's were the biggest of all.
Montana's five touchdown passes set a single game Super Bowl standard at the time and put him ahead of Terry Bradshaw for the most career touchdown passes of any Super Bowl performer.
Montana (22 of 29, 297 yards) still sits atop the Super Bowl record book in the passing categories of career rating (127.8) and touchdown passes (11).
Montana teamed with Jerry Rice for three touchdown passes: 20 yards in the first quarter, and 38 and 28 yards in the third. Montana also had scoring passes of 7 yards to Brent Jones and 35 yards to John Taylor. The five touchdown passes were a new Super Bowl record. Montana completed 22-of-29 passes for 297 yards.
