Super Bowl
XXIV was an American football game played on
January 28, 1990 at the Louisiana
Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana to
decide the National Football
League (NFL) champion following the 1989 regular season. The National Football
Conference (NFC) champion San Francisco
49ers (17–2) won their fourth Super Bowl by defeating
the American Football
Conference (AFC) champion Denver Broncos (13–6),
55–10. It remains the most lopsided game in Super Bowl
history to date. The 49ers' 55 points were the most ever scored by
one team, and their 45-point margin of victory was the largest
ever. The 49ers are the only team in a Super Bowl to score at least
two touchdowns in each quarter. Their 2nd of 8 touchdowns ended
with a missed extra point however. They are also the only team to
score 8 touchdowns in a Super Bowl.
This marked the first time in 10 years that a team won back-to-back
Super Bowls, the last time being when the Pittsburgh Steelers won Super
Bowls XIII and XIV following the 1978 and1979 seasons. The Broncos became
the second team to lose three Super Bowls in four years after
losing Super Bowls XXI and XXII, both by considerable margins as
well. The Vikings also lost three Super Bowls in four years (VIII,
IX and XI). The Buffalo Bills are the only team to
lose four Super Bowls in four years.
Joe Montana was named
the Super Bowl MVP, his third award in his
fourth Super Bowl victory. He completed 22 of 29 passes for a total
of 297 yards and a Super Bowl record 5 touchdowns, while also
rushing for 15 yards. Montana's 75.9 completion percentage was the
second highest in Super Bowl history, and he also set a record by
completing 13 consecutive passes during the game. Head
coach George Seifert was the second
rookie head coach to win a Super Bowl. Montana became the third
player in league history to win both the Super Bowl MVP and
the AP Most Valuable Player
Award during the same season. Bart Starr and Terry Bradshaw also won both after
the 1966 and 1978 seasons, respectively.
This was the first of four nationally televised meetings between
the Broncos and 49ers. Their 1994, 1997, and 2000 meetings were
also nationally televised, by NBC, ABC, and Foxrespectively (the 1997 game, won by the
49ers, became infamous after Bill Romanowski spat in the face
of J.J. Stokes).
This game has been featured on NFL's Greatest Games under
the title Coronation.
