The was the beginning of the greatest partnership in the history of sports television, Pat Summerall and John Madden
Then came Troy Aikman & Joe Buck
@@theoutlaw9759 and thankfully Jim Nantz and Tony Romo
Pat was already really good before Madden but he knew he had to step it up because Madden was so much better than Brookshire.
You’re right about that!!!
Ahem, Vin Scully and Joe Garagiola?
The birth of the 49ers' 80s dynasty and the first BIG game Madden and Summerall called together. This was quite the legendary game in many ways.
And now they're both dead!
On the 49ers goal line stand, the 3rd down pass from Ken Anderson to Charles Alexander that they stopped short of the goal line was designed for Alexander to get into the end zone and make that cut to the right, but made it too early.
Actually, the regular season game they called between the Cowboys and Lions was pretty big. It was their warm up.
Yea 49ers been in a superbowl every decade since 1981 season but 49ers dynasty started in this game but it took 8 yrs for the 49ers to have a dynasty cause it was 1981 to 1989 they won 4 superbowls but they coulda won atleast 2 or 3 more superbowls after the 1989 season but cowboys got in there way in nfc championship games except for 1994 season when 49ers got there 5th superbowl win in 14 yrs from 1981 to 1994.
@@Tainopisno1Everything you said was true except 49ers did not make a Super Bowl for 17 straight years from 1995-2011 so in fact they did not make a SB every decade.
Man the start of a great broadcasting duo. RIP John Madden and Pat Summerall.
amen
I know Right!!!!
John Madden and Pat Summerall were the masters of football commentary.
LOL
They really were a SUPER team.
I bought a 9ers DVD pack when I was around 17 with Road to the Super Bowl and extended recaps of all their Super Bowl wins. Really made me fall in love with the game even more. Great to see broadcast highlights for the first time.
NFL Throwback just keeps delivering gems.
same here greebs
Was it on VHS?
@@yeomane No idea if they ever released it on VHS.
Can we point out how great this Super Bowl really was?
Rest in Power John Madden
Aaaahhhh the 1980's the Decade of the Golden Girls, Full House, Joe Montana, Alf, The Cosby Show, E.T, Don Bluth, Beetlejuice, TMNT, National Lampoons vacation 1, 2, and 3 and Batman.
And don't forget Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, and Weird Al.
Yes, now that you mentioned it!!!
And Chuck Norris movies.
Basically the greatest decade ever
We also had The A-Team, Magnum P.I., Family Ties, Night Court, Back to the Future, Indiana Jones movies, and Murder She Wrote.
Two turnovers inside the 5 yard line. Absolute killers. Although if replay existed back then, Collinsworth's fumble would be ruled an incomplete pass.
Cincinnati Had So Many Changes Without Question To Make The Big Plays!
I never thought that Collinsworth caught that ball even with the rules of the day. Had the correct call been made, it would have been 3rd and 9. Who knows what could happen? Huge bad call.
How the Detroit Lions have the most inept leadership in sports:
The Pontiac Silverdome was the biggest home field advantage in NFL history that was wasted away. 80,000 boozed up Detroiters smoking cigars from their seats right on top of the field.
What a waste of an opportunity. I loved the Silverdome. It had a charm like no other.
They got rid of that stadium quick too. wasnt that old when they moved to Ford Field, which doesnt have the same presence and noise
The greatest goal line stand in the history of the Super Bowl!
Oh Man! The Bengals had so many chances. But that under-appreciated 49er defense was coming up big in clutch situations.
The 49ers had 3 rookies in their starting secondary defense in that super bowl. That is so hard to believe back then as well as today.
The Bengals absolutely self-destructed in this one....wow !
And in 88 as well.
Almost had a san fran-cincy part III this yr lol. They put on two entertaining ones
Part 3 will be this 2024 season. Bengals win. Joe Burrow SB MVP
Final tidbit I'd like to spotlight is from another user who made an astute observation:
Fun fact: SF K Ray Wersching kicked the ball on five consecutive plays, which definitely hasn't happened in another Super Bowl, but I don't know if it's happened again in NFL history.
Kick 1 - 22 yd FG w :18 left in 1st half
Kick 2 - Squibs kickoff, Cincy fumbles, SF recovers w/ :05 left in 1st half
Kick 3 - 26 yd FG w :02 left in 1st half
Kick 4 - Squibs kickoff, Cincy recovers and takes knee, end of 1st half
Kick 5 - Kickoff to begin 2nd half
Super Bowl XVI is also to this date the highest rated SB with a 49.1
Madden and Summerall 1st SB was Montana’s 1st SB and their last SB was Brady’s 1st SB.
R.I.P Madden and Summerall.
Heartbreaking loss for the Bengals after a big comeback
The Bengals defense played a great game. It was the turnovers by the Bengals offense & special teams that put their defense in a bad position especially near their goal line which the 49ers came away with a then Super Bowl record 4 FG's.
The 49ers offense were held to 275 yards for the entire game and in the second half had only around 55 yards of total offense, but built that 20-0 first half lead which was enough to win by 5 points.
@@vinceniederman Do you mean "chance"?
Ha ha go niners
Cincinnati Bengals Against San Francisco 49ers From 1981 Super Bowl ☺🏈Thanks For Uploading
That call of a catch by collinsworth that was incomplete being ruled a fumble just overshadows the rest of the game after that. To bad they didn't have instant replay
Yes, it was clearly an incompletion. What were the refs looking at?
Agree -don’t like the bengals but that’s not even close. Clearly incomplete. Awful call
At the time it was a fumble but now it would be incomplete
So many first in this game the beginning of the 49ers dynasty the Bengals first appearance and the dynamic duo of Pat Summerall and John Madden R.I.P. to those legends
I could see how this game hurts the most if you are a Bengals fan. Four turnovers and a goal line stand, yet they still only lost by 5. This was also the 1st game in Super Bowl history where the losing team had more total offense than the winning team
Bengals actually scored more TD's then the 49ers.
5:55 I don't think that was even a completed pass and should not have been a fumble.
On the 49ers goal line stand, the 3rd down & goal play, the pass from Ken Anderson to RB Charles Alexander that 49ers LB Dan Bunz stopped short of the goal line was designed for Alexander to get into the end zone and then make that cut to the right, but made it too early.
The play looked familiar to those who recognized it, the sprint right pass play, like the one the 49ers ran two weeks prior that resulted in Dwight Clark's TD catch that sent the 49ers to SB XVI.
@@conlanding Yup and He Made His Mistake by NOT going To The End Zone on 3rd Down and That Was a Bad Mistake By Charles Alexander!
@DoubleOhTheG Yup and Cincinnati Had So Many Changes To Win!
Hell of a goal line stand by San Fran.
This could have been the match up in super bowl 56
Totally agree
True!!!!
While Super Bowl XLIX has the most viewers, I believe this game still has the highest rating ever. Madden had something everyone tried to replicate but couldn't because his ability to communicate the way he did was innate. Just like great athletes, great communicators have intangible qualities you can teach.
thats correct, super bowl xvi is still the highest rated at 49.1 , with all the choices of tv shows and stations these days, i dont see it being broken. almost half the country had their tv sets tuned into super bowl xvi ..wow! i'm a niner fan, i was 22 at the time, and the 1st super bowl is always the best! the others are just icing on the cake, there will never be another 1st .. go niners
@@tamautulei1492Well Super Bowl VXIII just had the most viewing of not just super bowls but for any TV program ever aired at 123.4 million viewers.
Montana rolling right and passing is something of beauty...absolutely seamless
This is something Tom Brady always lacked of.
EXACTLY! I was yelling for Purdy to do the same last Sunday. 😆👍
@@Trancymindand that means nothing when you get to 10 super bowls
@@markjackson5333Somebody got triggered about Bradys weakness.
@@Trancymind nah just making sure you kids understand you don't need to be like mahomes to win
The highest TV-rated SB to date.
I thought Super Bowl 49 was ?
@@semionjohnson1351 It was the most watched on average.
@@semionjohnson1351 .. more people watched sb 49, however percentage of tv's tuned into a sb still belongs to sb xvi at 49.1 ..wowza
Well the new record for not just super bowls but for ANY TV program just went to Super Bowl VXIII
Thank you so much for including the opening graphic. Say Yes to Michigan indeed.
We are so close for get this rematch in SB56.
Holy cow that spin move Montana made in the 4th quarter will make mahomes blush
Mahomes has never ever saw hard hitting defenses that were non stop blitzing defenses. Defenses that could actually hit the QB hard and low. Defenses who could hit hard and not let up on a blitz due to the worry of a flag. That kid would be lost if he actually had to read defenses and then on IR if they hit him. Mahomes is the absolute most overrated and overhyped player I’ve ever saw.
Didn’t even know that the Niners used to have a punter (Jim Miller) that punted barefoot til I watched these highlights 😂
Man Bengals really shot them selves in the foot this game. So many wasted opportunities & mistakes.
Yup and When They Were Down 23-14 That Pick By Anderson Was The Worst Then The First Pick by Eric Wright in The First Half!
Yeah they really had their chances
Just remember Cris Collingsworth yes that one on SNF fumbled it at 5:25 costing the Bengals to tie the game up.
Ain’t no way
that wasn't a fumble
Madden and Summerall are all set to broadcast their first Super Bowl game together this Sunday, on NFLH Network…the ‘NFL Heaven’ channel.
Thanks for uploading. I didn't realize this game was really a blowout. Watching the NFL Films version years ago, I thought the 49ers made that 3rd Quarter goalline stand on final drive to perserve a narrow victory. In reality, the game was over at half 20 to 0
Yeah, the Niners were never really in danger of losing or ever trailing( although the Bengals did get to within 20-14 at one point ), but essentially they controlled the tempo of this game once they seized the lead early.
@@ckendall67 Well only because the Bengals committed 4 costly turnovers that led to 20 of the 49ers 26 points.
Interesting match up regarding the Bengals as the team who was the first to use the West Coast Offense and the final product of that system w/ Walsh's Niners.
I can't believe WKRP in Cincinnati (which was towards the end of its run at that point in time) didn't mention this Super Bowl on their show.
That said, this was an awesome game. And John Madden (RIP) did great for his first SB. :)
It really was a shame, everything lined up for it too. Bengals in it, CBS broadcast.
49ers were awesome in the 80's.
Defense was underrated.
Great super bowl.
The beginning of the greatest dynasty in the history of professional football
Something crazy about this game is that Eric Wright, the star rookie corner for the 49ers made a doofus move after he intercepted the ball (21:40)with about 5 minutes to go...he tried to lateral the ball to a teammate on his 25 yard return. This is with the 49ers barely holding on with a 23-14 lead. Imagine that happening now with a player...win or lose they'd be roasted over the coals.
Yeah I don’t know what the hell he was thinking doing that
The beginning of an era!!!
Been waiting for this SB upload. Great video
This is the only super bowl when both of the qbs ran it in for touchdowns.
Good highlights, but I don’t know why the title of this video emphasizes that it was Madden’s first Super Bowl as a broadcaster when the video includes very little of Madden’s analysis during the game. You could re-edit this clip and include another 20 minutes of Madden-specific stuff and the video would be vastly superior. You can’t find this game anywhere on the internet so it would be well worth it to include more of it here.
I've been waiting for this for a long long time
I remember my dad being so excited. The 49ers had struggled for YEARS. As a young fan I had no idea what was happening as far as Joe Montana and the dynasty that was being born.
WOW this is remarkable! It's awesome to finally see a pristine broadcast edition of the game. Great treat for this weekend. Will definitely take the edge of the loss from two weeks ago. As usual, thanks for sharing :D
Of course! It’s underrated how good this game was!
@@NFLVault Especially in an era when the Super Bowl was often anti-climatic. Of course, this Super Bowl had a lot to live up to, considering the incredible games that were played during that post-season to lead up to it.
One of the odd things about the 1981 NFL post-season was what an indicator the regular season meetings between the teams that met in the conference championship games and in the Super Bowl would end up being. The Bengals faced the Chargers in the regular season, as did the 49ers and Cowboys, and the result of the regular season match-up was replicated in the post-season match-ups, and the same was true regarding the teams that met in the Super Bowl, because the 49ers and Bengals had played each other late in the regular season, and again, the result of the regular season match-up was replicated in the Super Bowl.
San Francisco 49ers vs Cincinnati Bengals in 1981 🏈🏆🏟📼🎥📺
It's only rite that the legends John Madden and Pat Summerall commentated the first Super Bowl victory in 49ers history!
A lot of us simply know Dwight Clark for "The Catch." But this game shows how tough this guy was as a football player. Man, the hits those guys used to take. 🤦🏽♂️
And start of the Montana superteam. Let's see if Burrow does it as Montana.
.....Montana was the holder on the field goals. Wow. Times changed.
Tony Romo playoff choke as a holder. LOL!!!
People forget that Madden grew up as a 9ers fan so yeah this one is special in so many ways
The Silverdome site is now an Amazon distribution center. I recently picked some Uber riders up there.
Other than some artwork painted on the front entrance windows, there's no clue as to what was there before.
Can we also point out that this was really when the 80s got cooking for "being 80's"...I mean Reagan's first full year as President, MTV had come on air in August of '81, The 49er's take Dallas Cowboys mantel as the premier NFC franchise (basically for the rest of the decade) and Pat Summerall and John Madden start their run. Good times!
ah what could've been but the 49ers couldn't hold their end of the bargain. a trilogy between the San Francisco 49ers & Cincinnati Bengals...
Please continue this super bowl series with every super bowl please 👍🏾
Collnsworth fumble was NOT A FUMBLE. I have watched this many times, he never had the ball in posession.
A football game where you can hear the crowd and the players, but not constant terrible music on the PA? How novel!
The first SB I can completely remember...wow, 40 years ago
Thank you 🙏
That goal line stand is still a thing of beauty. Madden and Summerall were really the best ever.
The beginning of the 49ers dynasty winning 4 Super Bowls in the 1980s
the raiders should have played them i wish with lester hayes and mike haynes
@@erics2739 .. raiders won the sb the year before, but you're right, woulda been a great match up
The last time in Super Bowl history both teams made their first appearance in the Super Bowl.
What about the Bears vs Patriots in Super Bowl XX ?
👑49ERNATION .. JOHN MADDEN/PAT SUMMERALL .. A GREAT ERA OF 🏈 ..
REALLY AWESOME UPLOAD !
So many great players on both teams. The beginning of a dynasty. Even had Jerry seeman as ref. This is the game that got me interested in the NFL
5:55 I don't think that would of even be considered a catch in todays game.
When this game was first played they called it the Cinderella Super Bowl because both teams were league doormats for years prior.
Even the year prior 1980, the wild card team won the super bowl. Back to back seasons the cinderella team winning the super bowl.
Bill Walsh had to have taken extra satisfaction at beating Paul Brown’s Bengals in the SB.
Of course he did. Like Jon Gruden spanking the Raiders..
Most people when they think of the 49ers dynasty in the 80s think of Joe Montana and the high-powered offense. Watching this game though, defense and special teams are what clinched their first world title. 2 interceptions of a great QB in Ken Anderson, a crucial goal line stand, and Ray Wersching going 4/4 and executing those two incredible squib kicks to pin the Bengals deep and then get the ball back for another field goal to end the half. Montana may have won MVP with a characteristically great performance, but he can thank the defense and special teams for putting him in a position to succeed.
If Eric Wright doesn’t tackle Drew Pearson, then The Catch becomes moot
Further proof that the 49ers defense doesn’t get as much love as it should: Super Bowl XIX
@@mjwatts1983 the 84 niners defense was one of best ever.
of course defense wins championships, thats why walsh drafted 3 db's that year and it paid off with a ring
@@dang75790 ..lott said the 84 d is better than the 89 d
I think it’s cool that Madden did Montana’s first and last Super Bowls.
And what a game for their first team up!
Give it up for Wersching, putting up 12 points.
That Collinsworth catch and fumble would definitely be an incompletion in todays NFL
Agreed and The Bengals Did Shoot Themselves in The Foot in The First Half!
As a Bengals fan, I still have all the endless what ifs going through my mind 41 years later.
Yeah the Bengals should have won this super bowl
Remember this, the 49ers had 3 rookies in their starting secondary defensive squad. Truly unheard of to this day.
This was the first nfl game i ever watched and i was hooked. Joe montana's niners in my mind is still the greatest team ever. Montana the best qb ever lived. 4-0 in sb, no interceptions, 3 time sb mvp. Joe cool
Bengals had no idea how to receive a squib kick
posts lately have been 🔥
I Was Really Hoping For A Third Bengals And 49ers Super Bowl, I just in the thinking moment for this point for them.
That goal-line stand was beautiful.
Thanks for Posting!!!!
Thanks for the highlights. Does anyone have the whole game?
Classic 🎉 I saw this in January 1982 📺👀 I was 18 on this day 🎉🎉🎉🎉
That goal line stop by Bunz (#57) reminded me of dre Greenlaws Goal Line Stop against Seattle
A different time of NFL broadcasting. Pat and John was not on the NFC Championship Game of course, that was Vin Scully & Hank Stram for CBS, but they didn't get the Super Bowl call.
the catch game
Fun fact: the famous John Madden clip when he says, “He makes a basketball pivot and twist…and BOOM the ball is there, right between the 8 and the 9”, happens after the TD at 19:50!
The more you know…
Thanks for sharing that fact
Madden and Summerall greatest NFL commentators ever by far.
If they were still living, I wonder if Pat and John would do a Manningcast type of broadcast on like FS1 on FOX or ESPN 2. I would think they would get many viewers.
SF Kicker Ray Wersching sure came up big in this 49ers' win. 4 field goals that were crucial.
This was the very first football game I ever saw!
An excellent introduction to football! Did you follow the 9ers after that?
@@dawoool I lived in NYC at the time. Later on in 1982 I became a New York Jets fan and have been ever since, however, I have great respect for what the 49ers did in the 1980's
1981 season one of the greatest ever
I was 11 in 82", I didn't remember what a crazy start to this game. Both teams were fired up with some nerves, but a very exciting beginning to a great Super Bowl and the starter of the 49ers dynasty.
Chris Collinsworth showing that he should be a broadcaster
LOL 40 years later.
Now here's a guy....
That Collinsworth fumble was simply not a catch. And people think refball is a modern problem.
Eric Wright with 3 huge plays on Cris Collinsworth.
Not many names here...Montana, Clark, Walsh, Munoz, Anderson, & collinsworth
The greatest goal line stand in NFL History.
what a game bengals unis --wow
What a awesome first Super Bowl to announce
To me, the biggest game-changer was those squib kicks by Wersching. Bengals couldn't control unpredictability of weird bounces, costing them dearly at end of first half . It's the difference in score maybe being 14-0 at half, instead of 20-0. Insurmountable lead at 20-0.
Wersching was told by Walsh to squib kick because earlier that season Wersching played Lions with a leg injury, preventing him from booming kickoffs. He had to squib kick then and noticed peculiar bounces the ball took on Pontiac Astroturf. A small detail that provided valuable intel that Bengals were unaware of and helpless to prevent disastrous fumbles.
Why didn't they use the squib kick more?
