- Super Bowl XIX. Between the American Football Conference champion Miami Dolphins and the National Football Conference champion San Francisco 49ers to decide the National Football League champion for the 1984 season. The 49ers defeated the Dolphins by the score of 38-16 to win their second Super Bowl. The game was played on January 20, 1985 on the campus of Stanford University in Stanford, California.The game was a battle between two great quarterbacks: Miami's Dan Marino and San Francisco's Joe Montana.
Roger Craig should be in the hall of fame.
According to Pro Football Reference's metrics Roger Craig had a better career than Eric Dickerson. But he did fumble the ball after NY Giants’ NT Erik Howard hit him and it cost the 49ers a 3-peat opportunity.
I agree. Roger Craig should be in HOF not only for winning 3 Super Bowls with 49ers also too he was first 1,000 yards Rush and 1,000 yards Receiving.
Roger Craig belongs in the HOF. If 3 SB rings and first player with 1,000/1,000 isn't enough, then I don't know what is.
@@BrentHarmon No running back has done that since.
@@BrentHarmon he also made the playoffs every year of his career...
In three playoff games that year(Giants, Bears, Dolphins) the 49ers defense did not allow a single point in the 2nd half. Impressive.
Dolphin fan: Very impressive.
Patriots fan: so what
R.I.P. Bill Walsh, Dwight Clark, Freddy Solomon and Karl Monroe.
Tom Landry, too. (commentator)
And Dandy Don Meredith and Frank Gifford. ☹
Oh man,, didn't know Monroe died. Sad.
I didn't know Freddie Solomon had passed.
@@wildtrout6175 yes in 2011 but I didn't know until about 3 years ago.
I don't care what anyone say, give me Montana over anybody!
Amen.SB'S 4 /4-0 NO INTERCEPTIONS AND HE DIDN'T PUSS OUT AND WIN BY A FG PLUS BRADY HAS 3 LOSES SHOULD BE 4/ WAY TO GO PETE CARROLL
Absolutely BB!
@Bob Donald Bwaaaaa Haa Haa Haa Haa!!!
I would take Marino if I had a great defense and a running game. He never really had either.
@Bob Donald He was better. He never had the great defenses or a running back the way Montana did. He didn't have a Jerry Rice either.
RIP Dwight Clark.
Fred Dean, Freddie Solomon, Keith Fahnhorst, Tom Landry, Don Shula and Bill Walsh RIP as well
If Marino was in this present era his number would’ve been outrageous
Marino would pass for more than 6,000 yards a season!
@@dickjones8119 eh his team didn't play that well either. Team failed as a whole. Wouldn't lay it on all Dan.
@@Yeomannn Marino called his plays, not Shula.
So yes, the offensive collapse, could mostly be laid on his shoulders.
Once the Niners altered their defense, he (Marino) did nothing to change his offense.
The blame, mostly on Marino and Shula.
When he saw Marino NOT adapting, he should have stepped in and called plays.
@@leeshackelford7517 Dolphin fan: You know, you something there? It probably wouldn't have helped, only kept the score closer maybe? Marino doesn't play defense.
If any of the elite offensive players from the 1990s and earlier were magically transported to today, it would be a cakewalk for them. Before the 2000s, defenses were allowed to play a lot nastier. Today's NFL, a defensive player just has to look at a QB wrong and that's roughing the passer.
On the flip side of that coin, the defensive stars would struggle in today's NFL because they can't do a lot of the things that made the NFL rough in the old days. They have to change their game and I don't think that would go well for many of them.
Lastly, the NFL of the 90s and earlier was much more about running. This was still the era of major trades and contracts for a feature running back. A great running back was paid his worth and was used heavily. Even some of the teams you often associated with heavy passing still featured fantastic running backs. 49ers with Craig. Cowboys with E.Smith. Bills with Thurman Thomas. It's not like today's NFL where RBs are treated like red headed stepchildren and running by committee.
The GOAT MONTANA was fun to watch him play ♥️😎🏈
Dan Marino crushed his records, tho
@@starter47990 I bet he'd trade those records for this ring.
@@marktastic86 yeah
Joe Montana is just the quarterback textbook. Best all time no matter what. Montana for QB, Pele for soccer and Federer for tennis, those are just unbeatible
Is Messi your 2nd choice for FIFA football?
@@elbiyoo problably
Gretzky clears all
I was wondering why it sounded like the Niners had the support of the home crowd and the Dolphins were booed. Then I forgot that this Super Bowl was in Stanford.
Still half the tickets would be made available to Dolphin fans, so yes home field but not necessarily home crowd.
@@tomservo75 okay, that makes sense
Kills me when it was said that Tampa Bay had the first Superbowl by a home team. It wasn't at the Stick but Niners still hosted.
Montana goat
@Conway Twitty 4 and 0, Conway. Undefeated. Tom Brady has lost almost as many Super Bowls as Montana was in. Brady has won 67% - a failing grade in pretty much any class on the planet. Joe has a perfect 100%, which wouldn't be impressive if he played in a single Super Bowl and won it - that's luck. Going 4-0 though? That's no fluke.
So this was basically a home game for San Francisco
Only team in NFL history to win a SB infront of it's own crowd.
So was the 1980 Super Bowl for the LA Rams.
Half of the tickets went to Dolphin fans.
@@muffs55mercury61 ..yup...and the 1980 SB between the L.A Rams and Steelers holds the all time attendance record for a Super Bowl..just under 104,000...
The 49ers did play at Stanford for a game (against New England) in October of 1989 due to structural damage to Candlestick Park from the Loma Prieta earthquake, so there's that.
It is a shame that Roger Craig isn't in the Hall of Fame. You can see how great he was early in his career. He was the starting FB in this Super Bowl and scored 3 TD's.
They pass him up every year. This last time around he made it the furthest he ever has but still came up short
winning superbowls dont make a player a HOF player you need more than that . just saying
@@funtyes1970 How bout being the first player to catch and run for over 1,000 yards in a season?
@@xyzxyz6406 yeah so it don't make you a hall of famer cuz of one great season lol . how about rest seasons he played barely getting 1000 yards a season. and didn't he fumble end of 4th qrt and Lawrence Taylor take football out of his hands in 1990 NFC championship game.
@@funtyes1970 Every HOF running back in the history of football has fumbled several times in their career. You think a fumble is an automatic disqualifier to go in the HOF?
Montana in his prime was not to be denied.
What a nice look back to when halftime shows were upbeat and patriotic. We don’t see that now.
Montana and Brady are the GOAT 's
Joe Montana wore the same uniform jersey in the 1989 Super Bowl.
I never knew that. Cool!
@@jamestepera3356 Yes, his wife packed it for him. If you watch the 1989 game, you'll see the white stripes on Joe's uniform sleeves are a different size than his teammates.
It was for the 1988 season played in 1989 but thanks for the information. I never knew that.
I didn't know that either. Astute observation there David!
Yeah, Peteles made a good correction: you mean the Super Bowl for the 1988 season played in Miami in January 1989. NOT the one for the 1989 season played in New Orleans in January 1990; the Niners won back-to-back Super Bowls to make this distinction necessary. And it is an important one, as the Niners wore white in SB XXIV against the Broncos.
Marino's sole Super Bowl appearance. He was carving his future & already setting records but still a young 23, learning and gaining more experience, this case being a school of hard knocks with old pros such as Jack "Hacksaw" Reynolds and others such as Fred Dean, Keena Turner & Dan Bunz after a piece of him. So awesome the children singing the national anthem, brings me to tears (Marino looks a tad nervous, well so would anyone his age going into their first SB) Outstanding trio of Frank Gifford, Don Meredith & Joe Theismann doing the calling. Theismann's playing days would end 10 months later when he broke his leg during a game.
Good old days. 1984 was a great year for football.
I've often referred to 1984 as the "Year of the Record" in the NFL, since so many of them were broken, including Dan Marino's rewriting the record books for single season passing, Walter Payton's breaking Jim Brown's career rushing yardage record, Eric Dickerson breaking O.J. Simpson's single-season rushing yardage record, Charlie Joiner breaking Charlie Taylor career receptions record, Art Monk breaking the single-season receptions record, and of course, the 49ers setting a record for wins in a season.
Saved the league after the strike and USFL nabbed big college draft picks
Also, Florida winning its first of back to back SEC and National Championships.
At least in certain publications.
It was a pretty magical year for the NFL, also fun living in SF as a kid when they won. All I remember driving back home was seeing these punk rockers in a old beater car with a GO 49ERS spray painted on their car after they won the Super Bowl.
Useless fact the '84 NFL Playoffs had teams with a 15-1,14-2,13-3,12-4,11-5,10-6,9-7 Records.
First-year ABC got in on the Super Bowl broadcast rotation. 1984 was also arguably, the first year where iconic commercials during the game became
a thing as when I believe Apple did a 1984 style dystopian ad.
A prime Montana 28 years old, this is personally my favorite Super Bowl win of his and this season was one of the most pivotal seasons for football period
My favorite as well!
I lived in the Bay Area for Joe Montana's entire career...what a ride..!
Still the best QB to ever play in my opinion. No interceptions and undefeated in the SB....Brady can't say that.
As a lifelong Cowboys fan I feared nothing more as a child than Dallas having to face Montana. So feared!
James Tepera
Me 2 dude broke my heart quite a few times and I still think Joe Montana is the GREATEST QB to ever play the game
The argument that montana never lost in super just means he lost in the early playoff rounds alot more than brady makes absolutely no sense
brian denapoli
Brady is a CHEATER like the rest of the Patriots from deflated footballs to video recording and stealing signals and please don't tell me they didn't do it THEY DID.
Joe Montana GREATEST QB of all time.
I agree wat a lot of people say about Miami with no run game for Marino, no defense for Marino. I'm one of the biggest Dan Marino fans of all time. Yes it was basically a home game for the 49ers, but wat people forget is that Marino and the Dolphins beat the 49ers at Candlestick Park just a year earlier.
Montana rolling right and throwing his first TD. Tom Landry diagramming the play must have thought I've seen that before.
Deja vu all over again
Fun thing, I had just rewatched that game before watching this one......
49ers were a damn good team in the 80s!
The 49ers were the best team of the 80's!
R.I.P. Frank Gifford, Don Meredith, Tom Landry (commentators); Bill Walsh, Gary Johnson, Max Runager, Carl Monroe, John Ayers, Fred Quillan, Freddie Solomon, Dwight Clark (49ers); Joe Robbie, Fulton Walker, Reggie Roby, Robert Sowell, Eric Laakso, Andra Franklin (Dolphins); So many.
The game was played less than 35 years ago on January 20, 1985.
Keith Fahnhorst also.
the niners offense was considerably better than the dolphins defense. They just couldn't keep up with the 49ers speed and precision.
Dead on correct...Just way better execution
I was a Dolphin's fan but it was clear from the beginning the Dolphin's LB's couldn't cover the 49ers RB's or TE's. Montana picked them apart.
A key fact that is usually overlooked is that this was Chuck Studley's first year as Miami's defensive coordinator. The absence of Bill Arnsparger (the man Studley replaced) was glaringly evident in this game, and became even more so the following two seasons -- particularly in 1986, when Marino threw *six* touchdown passes against the Jets only to see his team lose anyway thanks to Studley's Swiss cheese defense.
If memory serves, SF had the #2 ranked offense and the #2 ranked defense. They were an all-around great football team. Miami of course had the #1 offense and an average defense. That SF offense really went wild in the second quarter scoring 21 points.
Another overlooked key to the 49ers success in being able to stop the Dolphins in Super Bowl XIX was the fact that these two teams had played a season earlier, with the Dolphins coming out on top in Candlestick Park. Because of that, the 49ers had the advantage of having played against Marino, meaning that they became the first NFC team to play against Marino twice, and after Don Shula used the no-huddle attack in the first quarter to keep the 49ers' run oriented defense on the field, they adjusted and the Dolphins never got into the end zone again and never scored in the second half.
Another advantage the 49ers had in this encounter that they didn't have when they faced the Dolphins in '83 was having Gary "Big Hands" Johnson, as they had acquired him in the '83-'84 off-season to once again team up with Fred Dean (as they did in San Diego) and they did a number of the Dolphins' OL. (By the way, another member of that late-70s Chargers line, Louie Kelcher, was also on the '84 49ers, but played mostly on special teams.)
Awesome thanks for posting this treasure from the VHS video days
Wow. 1hour 7 minutes into the game and you have the first flag! ( 1:07:00) That is amazing. In today's football that would have been the 8,765th flag already thrown
1:03:00 Imagine that in todays NFL. 20 flags would be thrown for roughing the passer in this weak era. QBs in the 80s were getting pounded.
@@bio2020 No shit, and getting paid less with fewer endorsements. Yet, didn't bitch and complain every time they were hit by another guy. 😊
Not in the superbowl. You can choke the entire defensive line without a single holding call.
@@bio2020 If that wasn't called, then I wonder why Sugar Bear Hamilton was called for that
exactly. graze the QB's helmet with your pinky...15 yards. Get pushed into the QB's knee...15 yards
Wow, this was a great 49er team! Before Rice and Taylor but could still move the ball AT WILL!! And with an outstanding defense, has to be one of the top 5 teams of all time. Maybe even top 3, with THE MAN at QB!!
youre not kidding. They were a skinny 3 pt loss to Pitt away from 19-0
They always had such beautiful precision execution. Well coached, intelligent team that could beat you any which way
@@justinuptonn261 They were nasty on defense too. A bit like the old Raiders. Eric Wright and the secondary took Clayton and Duper out of the game.
Dolphis of Miami 🐬 🐬 🐬
Having Russ Francis who was the best TE In Football kind of the George Kittle of his day. Remember him bullying his way to a first down against Lyle Blackwood that was kind of a Kittle type thing
@@michelmendoza1769 I haven't watched the nfl in several years, so I don't know who that is.
Great memories, I'm excited to watch this, Montana and Marino in their prime.....
Marino is not in his prime. 2nd year I think
Actually all of the opposing QBs Joe faced were good ones
There was another Quarterback that took his team to the Super Bowl in his second year Joe Montana
@@nethw7740 didn’t he throw for 5,000 that year?
Marino was a great qb but he ran into a great team in 84 niners.
Leo,
One of the greatest teams of all-time. If I have to pick one best team, it is the 1984 49ers.
@@benthekeeshond545 1972 Dolphins?
@@benthekeeshond545 yes the 49ers defense adjusted 5-1-5 monster . Also when they went to the dime and nickel basically Marino couldn't capitalize.

My first Superbowl on TV. I was 11 and I'm in England. At the time my mum knew I wanted to see it but cos of the time difference she knew I was gonna be useless at school on the Monday. So she took the aerial away from my little black and white bedroom TV. Undeterred, after everybody was asleep, I found by sticking my finger in the aerial socket, I could conduct the reception to a vaguely watchable level. Imagine the arm and shoulder ache this boy had. This is commitment folks. And I'm a Redskins fan. Not even Miami or Niners. I won't ever forget this game!
Awesome story. How many NFL fans are there in England?
@@ericstravelchannel It's big here, has been since the Marino Montana era. You know regular season NFL games are played in London yeah?
Mu first superbowl too, I'm from Mexico
This is the second Super Bowl I watched live, Super Bowl XVIII being the first. 35 years later, I still love this game
This is the game that made me a 49er fan! #NINERS!
I miss the days where they actually introduced the starting lineups before the Rams/Patriots super bowl xxxvi.
1:59:26 Don Meredith gets off the funniest sportscaster ad-lib of all time. "That person is not well." Priceless.
Don didn't have Howard Cosell annoying him anymore. Cosell was fired from ABC in 1983.
@@muffs55mercury61 Man, Howard Cosell was the most irritating sportscaster of all time. He was usually hammered by the 4th quarter. I saw a bumper sticker one time that said, "Will Rogers never met Howard Cosell" Pretty funny!
@@wildtrout6175 Lordy was he ever but I didn't know Howard was an alcoholic til years later. Meredith had to do everything possible to keep his self control as Howard really annoyed him. Often you can tell the reactions are strained during the broadcasts.
@@wildtrout6175 Watch the Nov, 1970 broadcast of MNF (Eagles vs Giants) which is on YT. Cosell was so smashed before the game (witnesses saw him gulping martinis and lost count!) That's the game that he threw up on Don's boots and didn't return for most of the 2nd half. Embarrasing!
Bill Walton used to say hilarious shit every game in the early 2000s NBA
15:56 "We have a very unusual camera angle for you, something we call a 'sideline' camera" LOL!
That's hysterical!
Craig dropped very few passes that season but had a lot of drops during the two successive super bowl seasons
Roger Craig was an Ironman he took a lot of vicious hits and played week after week
That run of his through the Rams note I said through not against was EPIC!
What happened to Reggie ROBY in this game Runager out punted him!
"They seemingly can do anything they wish." The story of this game.
Amazing how many flags I'm anticipating that never come. This is incredible! God I wish the reffed the game like this now
Hahaha...the mamby pamby rules in NFL and NBA....
This was kind of the beginning of the AFC slaughter that lasted till 97 or so.
Yup... we'll NEVER see that again
Yes. I was 11 years old when this Super Bowl took place and I remember it being a bitterly disappointing game. The Dolphins just for no match overall for the 49ers and it was over by halftime
It was but the AFC had a couple of teams that made a game of it like the 88 Bengals, the 90 Bills, and the 95 Steelers. I think some other AFC clubs that
didn't make it such as the 86 and 87 Browns, the 88 Bills, the 91 Broncos, the 92 Dolphins, or 94 Chiefs could have won the Super Bowls as well.
unfortunately the 2nd afc team to fall to the nfc in the sb. the year before the raiders routed defending sb champs redskins
Damn Joe was deceptively fast in his younger days.
Jerry Rice later claimed Joe was faster than him.
A tremendous athlete. Best QB of all time. Steve Young also was an exceptional athlete and sprinter.
1:53:10 Terri Hatcher as a 49er cheerleader. I think the 84 season was the only season she cheered for the Scarlett and Gold.
Back when players played a game, and left the politics to politicians.
That was the 80s. America took a 20-year break from divisive politics from the mid-70s to the mid-90s. Back in the 60s, star athletes such as
Jim Brown, Bill Russell, Muhammad Ali, and members of the 1968 US Olympic track team took all sorts of political stands because they felt
the times and issues such as Vietnam and Civil Rights were big enough to make it worth offending white fans to shed light on them.
It took about 50 years, but we have come back to that and once again you got white fans upset those who provide their entertainment are actually
people with opinions they don't like.
SMH
@@TheLAGopher
You mean opinions that are without merit, ignorant and generated by grifter organizations like BLM.
I seem to remember most of my high-school peers thinking Dan Marino and Co with his then record 48 TD passes would crush my 49ers.
However...Joe the Throw Montana and the 15-1 49ers had other ideas...and I smugly walked the hallways of Sudbury Secondary the following day chirping everyone I could...chuckle chuckle.
When Joe ran for that first down, I knew I just knew what was coming! He looked so fast compared with the pursuit! The Niners would not lose what was essentially a Super Bowl played at Home! I think all the Marino hype really focused Joe’s competitive laser focus!
the sportsmanship and politeness back then was so good
84 49ers, best team ever. They did everything, and should have been unbeaten!
A disgustingly bad PI call in the Pittsburg game ruined the perfect season
15-1 who beat them in 84 . i can't remember . maybe the Rams
Notice how the players don't congratulate each other after every play like they do now. Nowadays they do high-fives on kickoffs that go out of the end zone.
If you watch Super Bowl 17 (Redskins vs Dolphins) played 2 years before this you can see that Washington was doing all sorts of hijinx for everything.
Watch the 1982 NFC Championship Game. Both Washington and Dallas did all sorts of hotdogging. My point is that post-play antics really began in
the early 80s among some teams (but not all) and slowly spread to become universal behavior. Too often these days you have Boomer and Gen X
football fans trying to turn this into some kind of critique of millennial players and refuse to acknowledge they may have picked up some bad habits
from their elders.
Super Bowl XIX was Bill Walsh's masterpiece!
I'm predicting a final score of 38-16, 49ers win. I feel fairly confident in my prediction.
Hey......let's bet that the 49ers win again when we watch replays of the newscasts reporting on the game?
You’re a modern day Nostradamus!!
I actually made a friendly $10 bet with a coworker fins fan, and I spotted him 3 TD's....he was laughing when he handed over the 10 :D

Montana 4-0 in Super Bowls in the toughest era ever. Beat two Hall Of Fame Quarterbacks and two Bengal Quarterbacks who were NFL MVP’s that season. Incredible. I just don’t even think it up for debate folks. Montana is the REAL 🐐. Whether you like it or don’t like it sit down and look at it and learn to love it wooooooo
I love how the 49ers shined the spotlight on the defensive players rather than their offense in the beginning. I mean Montana and Marino are both men that need no introductions. It's just great considering that the defense really deserves the credit.
The Dolphins were overconfident to the point of arrogance! They didn't realize this was probably the best 49er team of the dynasty!
I remember the media at the time.
No excuses, no mention of defensive or offensive problems in the Dolphins......my Niners were doomed, fated to have a massive point deficit by game's end.
(Not even a close shootout)
Look at young Joe's wheels back then. He could really move. Deceptively fast...
Meanwhile in San Mateo, CA, a 6-year old named Tommy is warming up his throwing arm in preparation on winning nearly more Super Bowls than both of these teams COMBINED.
Damn we looked good back then and now...Sheesh we going for that sixth Superbowl win in the year Rub a Dub Dub💪💪💪💪BANG BANG,!!
I love these older games when players just played and didn't celebrate every down.
It all depends on who you watch. Check out Super Bowl 17 Dolphins /Redskins and you will see post-play antics, watch both the AFC and NFC
Championship games of 1982. Lots of guys were doing hijinx and those guys had old-school coaching legends like Tom Landry, Don Shula, and Joe Gibbs calling the shots.
TheLAGopher
Wrong. There was a TD celebration but nothing like it is now. Two yard gains on first downs trailing by 14 points get celebrated now.

Can you imagine how confident Marino felt that this was going to be a thing for him?? I'm not knocking him. I think we all felt that he would get back. It's amazing he would never go back to another SB considering how easy this year was for him and the Dolphins.
If it hadn't been for the Bills, he WOULD have made it several more times (and undoubtedly won a couple).

Great halftime show. Back when we were real Americans.
Yeah. Michael Jackson ruined that.
Yep, it’s true. Too many ingrates and few patriots.
Wendell Tyler was very underrated
But a fumble machine.
even without Rice and Taylor, this was the greatest 49ers team ever, they only lost one game all year and totally dominated a great Dolphins team in the SB.
Thank you for this upload
Dandy Don Merideth was soooo good in the broadcast booth. Astutely observant, and quite humorous to boot. I used to love the way he'd insult Howard Cosell, and Cosell, the dummy he was, was so stupid he wouldn't even notice.
Montana's play in this game is THE GREATEST (i.e. most dominant) individual performance in Super Bowl history.
Period ... Stop ... End of Discussion.
You are not wrong.
You're forgetting Steve Young's 6 TD performance against the Chargers.
This was basically a home game for the 49ers. Miami needs to go back to this uniform. Our current uniforms are atrocious!!
They have a crap organizational top to bottom.
Agreed,love the blaze orange long sleeves...classic 1980s. uniforms from both squads...
I was a little kid, stunned watching this game… it’s almost like Miami forgot how to play football. I was in 5th grade and the next day at school, all the kids including myself were so bummed out that we lost. Still haven’t gotten over this, 40 years later. The first of many times I can remember when the Dolphins broke my heart.
Yeah the Dolphins should have won this game with all that fire power on offense. They literally had the best offense so they should have scored more than 16 points
@@starter47990 Dolphin fan: Maybe the worst part was that Miami didn't even score a single point in the Superbowl in 2nd half. As a matter of fact we didn't score in 2nd half in previous Super Bowl appearance, 2 years earlier?

This game was played closer to San Francisco than Levi’s Stadium is lol
Dan Marino was my favorite player of the 80s and 90s but this game was his Waterloo
I was watching this when I was 8 and fell in love with 49ers Football ❤

I was amazed by how much a super young QB was pushing the dolphins the late season success, Marino was so good. Loved the duo of duper/clayton. I can so appreciate how incredible Montana was now that he is long removed from besting teams I wanted to see win lol. I'm still saddened for Marino for never getting a ring.

practically a home game for the 49's. great year, all sorts of all time records broken, marino destroyed passing records, first quarterback over 5000 yards in a season, 48 touchdowns and 362 completions were all time records (in only his 2nd year, marino would never reach those marks again), walter payton broke jim brown's career record for rushing yards, eric dickerson broke the single season mark with 2,105 yards (still the record), art monk with a record 106 receptions, mark gastineau with a record 22 sacks, and charlie joiner breaking the all time reception mark at 657. and who remembers this, quarterback warren moon had 1.1 million dollar year in 1984, i remember all the chatter about it, most people defending it.
Not that I like OJ but he did it in only 14 games. Dickerson really shouldn’t have the record
@@williamhager855 that '73 year by oj is still the highest yard per game season in the nfl, 143.1. he also has the 6th highest. dickerson's is 4th at 131. 6... jim brown is the goat tho, the only back to retire with an average over 100 yards per game. barry sanders and terrell davis are real close, dickerson has the 4th highest career game average, higher than o.j. who's 12th.
@@tomitstube yeah I was speaking about single season, not career.
Joe Theismann nailed it.
This was the first football game i ever watched... i was but 5 years old. It peaked my curiosity and I would catch a game here and there from time to time. But it wasn't until 1988 I dove in head first. I watched every 49er game and every MNF game. I was hooked. the 49ers winning the superbowl that year was just put the cherry on top.
The playoffs and Championship games were much more difficult for the Niners than this Super Bowl
Great game, Montana will always be the best in my book. I love this game, I love Don Meredith commentating and this is one of Meredith's best games as far as his one liners! He's the reason I'm listening again!
100%
Absolutely
Joe is the QB king no doubt.
It was a treat to hear Meredith, Gifford, and Theisman again.
Absolutely. Tom Brady is a close #2. Yes he has more Super Bowls but as the NFL Films highlights for this game explained, "he can't beat you as many ways as Montana can." Montana may not be the best pure passer, but his versatility, knowledge of the game, and surgical precision in attacking defenses, no one's done that before or since.
Meredith great fun announcer
32:27 is the actress Teri Hatcher.
oh wow ! I never knew that ! Thanks !
Yeah thanks, I would not have spotted that not knowing she was ever a SF
cheerleader. She was a looker! She made those looks work for her too.
2:01:04 - George Kittle must have access to a time machine!
Its crazy watching this because this was the day I was born!
Divide the populace, even along geographical regions within each country, through fiercly competitive sport, and conquer
The only Super Bowl when it was actually a home game for one of the teams
Not anymore
This is the highest level the dolphins have achieved in 36 years. That’s amazing for this once dominating franchise.
After the 49ers beat the Bengals in SB XXIII they haven't seen another SB either in 32 years.
@@thegoat164 yeah but they’re the bengals. The dolphins were dominating in the 70’s and early 80’s. They even went undefeated one year and made SB 3 years in a row. Also back to back SB in 82’ and 83’
@@RobertJohnson-mn3br
SB 82 and 84 you mean.
@@thegoat164 yes. Dumb me. Got them confused with Washington. You know your footfall GOAT #16
@@RobertJohnson-mn3br
82 Dolphins vs Redskins and David Woodley was the QB 83 Redskins vs Raiders 84 Dolphins vs 49ers
I can tell you who won every SB off the top of my head and I wonder if I'll still be able to do it 20 years from now when I'm 74 yrs old.
You gotta love the “unusual” camera and the video playback station that Tom Landry is resting his legendary hat on
First NFL game I ever watched. My brother liked the 49ers, so I became a Dolphins fan. We always were rivals with each other, and I picked the opposite team. I was about 9 years old then. After that, I was hoping Marino would win a Superbowl, but never happened because their defense wasn't very good.
Joe Theismann was such a great announcer. His explanations after the plays are intelligent and accurate. I believe he was actually still playing for the Redskins at the time. Also one of the greatest quarterbacks of the 80s. I don't know what Joe Theismann is doing nowadays but I would much rather see and listen to him in the booth instead of Chris Collingsworth.💯
Where's the 4th quarter!??
looking at this incredible SB bring memories,my miners had one badass TEAM!!! Montana aka cool Joe, Roger craig, Dwight Clark , michael Carter, keenan Turner,Russ Francis ,we destroy Dan Marino and the dolphins, Marino only SB, great QB but after this lost he never got to past the wild cards, and the crazy shit is that me and my family moved to Miami in 1980 right by the orange bowl, San Francisco 49ers the Roman Empire of the NFL,the first team to win 5 SB in the league 💯die hard niner fan .Red and Gold till I die...
"Dark Side of the Ring" sent me back here as it recently did an episode on the Graham family. It was revealed that Mike Graham was actually in attendance at Super Bowl XIX. And it was there that he first learned that his father, Eddie had shot himself. Eddie Graham died the the next day (January 21, 1985).
Amazing to think the 9ers were actually entertaining the possibility of trading Joe a year or two before this (for Elway).
John Elway on that 49ers roster would have won 5 super bowls
@@amaryousif2558 no tf he wouldn't have
The Dolphins played soft and laid back putting no pressure on Montana and he literally ABUSED the isolations of his running backs being covered by the Dolphin linebackers.... That 6 defensive scheme was a genius move as well.
So amazing seeing Joe run for TDs and first downs
The entire team played in this game!
And Freddy Solomon did Fumble a rare non call in the niners favor after they were robbed in the 1983 NFC championship game
The playoffs against the Giant s was much more difficult than this game
Montana and Marino were homies from Western PA
Thank you, Mr. Roberts Fredericks, for this excellent -choice of game - upload! As I was very young and not yet until football at this time in the NFL I neverhad the privilege to see Wendall Tyler of the San Francisco 49ers perform. I never even saw him in action until I watched this very upload you are sharing with all of us Utubers here. I think he is a phenomenal, durable, and versatile player beyond measure and value and really wish he scored a superbowl nineteen (19) touchdown. I think it's fitting that this video ends as one sees Tyler head to the sidelines, battle-worn from running over the Miami Dolphins all game!! I know all the scoring had commenced by this point in the game already, with most of the fourth quarter still to come (though it's totally clear whom are champion is!) and I have two immense queries from what I have seen. These queries are as follows and in order: the final score in the books is the 49ers 38, the Dolphins 16 - how did the 49ers not score at least one more touchdown on such a night as this one, filled with 49er glory and perfection displayed throughout this superbowl thus far??? I will venture two guesses as to two reasons that may account for this. Wendall Tyler was joined by Roger Craig on the sidelines where they remained for the remainder of the game as both warriors had already fiught hard and performed marvelously - they had earned the rest of the night off. Let some other hopefuls get in the "big game", right, and make their own small mark on NFL history??? And, a distant second of the two queries, is how did Dan Marino not score or, at least assist in, at least one last 'cosmetic or garbage touchdown' as one figures in his talent & surrounding talent, his competitiveness, and his heavy emphasis on passing which allows a game to last forever?!? I only have one guess here: the 49ers had character and pride and weren't going to relax on defense until all zeroes appeared on the fourth quarter game clock!!!! I feel pretty confident on this particular guess. Someday I may watch the rest of this game - somewhere, some way - but it'll be driven to pay homage to champions of the 1980s NFL more so than to resolve my aforementioned queries stated. Thanks for the opportunity to yet see these warriors play (again), sir!!! And thanks again!!!
RIP Bill Walsh, Dwight Clark, Fred Dean,Carl Monroe and Keith Fahnhorst and Gary Big Hands Johnson
And Freddie Solomon
Good game and I loved seeing the Super Bowl commercials before they were “Super Bowl commercials”
Ray Finkle misses game winning FG @2:04:34.
Laces out, Dan.
Im lookin for Ray Finkle, and ugh, clean pair of pants
Thank you for the honesty.
The Fins even lost the coin toss LOL
If you're expecting the full game, be aware this video ends during the 3rd quarter.
That's OK. The game was effectively over by then anyway.
Cough, 55-10 Niners VS the great John Elway in that Superbowl. Just saying.
Lol! Elway single handily took them to 3 SB's despite team talent and coaching. Defensive coordinators on total package teams found it easy to key on Elway and say, "Let someone else beat us".
@@chrissnyder3430 I think Dan Reeves was a great coach.
@@whataboutrob442 Good, not great.
I remember watching this game as a kid. The first superbowl for ABC
Nice to see that back then they didn't celebrate after every single play like they do now.
As a Miami fan, this is both nostalgic and painful, but I guess it is not that painful considering how dysfunctional our franchise is now. I wish this could have been a good game at least, and wish Marino had made at least another SB.
true but what a great quarterback he was...
The following year, if the Dolphins have gotten past the Patriots in the AFC Championship game, the Dolphins would have beaten the Bears in Super Bowl 20.
