The final score is 49-26 but it really isn't that close. The Chargers returned a kick-off, the only way they could score at that point, and scored a TD late when it didn't matter. They were successful on two 2-point conversions. The final score is really more like 49-10.

The only ego that can compete with Cosell is that of Trump.

The raiders were supposed to be a super bowl contender that year it was a big deal that we came out and absolutely smoked them

Howard Cosell 🏈 Simply the Best

I have this CD. I haven't heard it since I lived in SF

If you did an all-timers team, can you imagine trying to defend this offense?! Walsh(C) Holmgren(OC) Montana Young Brodie(Kaep needed another quality year, so he fell short in my opinion of Brodie) Gore McElhenny Craig J. Perry T. Rathman(Johnson was a far better Steeler than 49er; his HOF credentials come from there, because,, as a 49er, he was average at best.) Rice Owens Washington(track level speedster) Taylor Clark Solomon(track level speedster and gadget player capable) Kittle Davis Jones F. Blue(C) B. Bosley T. Williams(T) St. Clair J. Staley H. Mudd(G) G. McIntyre M. Iupati Montana and Young would finally have an OLine(never solid during their playing days), true deep threats able to outrun almost any defender the defense can throw at them, and a running game that is able to stand alone!

Less than 2 minutes into the game {1:24}, Young hits Rice for a 44-yard touchdown pass. Thanks for coming, Chargers. This 49ers team was ridiculous. Back then, it really didn't matter who the AFC put out there. The NFC was so much stronger than the AFC; it was ridiculous. Vegas didn't give the Chargers much of a chance. San Francisco was favored by 18.5, I think, in this game, and they covered.

For about four weeks early in 1961 Red Hickey's then imaginative "shotgun" offense was unstoppable. Then the 49ers met the Chicago Bears and the offense was "stopped" 0-31. Of course, today and for several decades the shotgun has been the most prevalent offensive formation used by NFL teams.

This is up there with that 1991 Eagles goal line stand. This one might be better. 7 plays from the 1. I lost my mind. Go Niners.

Kirby just wasn't a good running back. Watters was perfect for this team

Gifford gets the Golden Gate Bridge and the year wrong all in the first minute. Wow.

Lions is couple of years into the curse of Lane

RICE=NFL 🏈GOAT WR!

Never thought then or now that this would be the last Superbowl appearance the Miami Dolphins would make, looking back it would be hard to believe that it’s been that long.

Great video. I called that number, but it forwarded me to "Puff, Puff, Pass" near Haight & Asbury. They open everyday at 4:20...

I liked seeing Landry dissecting and explaining the TD plays...

The Colts beat the 49ers at San Francisco for the very first time that day, then beat the Giants a few weeks later for a second straight NFL Championship.

Collisworth’s fumble was never a catch to begin with.

DRUNKenmiller would throw 3 picks in this game. Thank god the Rams love to fumble the ball

Art Modell's team is not for sale? 21:52

2:08:33 UGH I hated that commercial as a kid! My older brother used to bully me and I once had a nightmare that he folded me up and smushed me into a bottle and just left me there on the beach 😵‍💫

Offensive Coordinators and Quarterbacks learned early on to not throw the ball in Jimmy Johnson’s area, so much so that he quietly worked out his career under the radar as perhaps the best cornerback ever to play the game.

this Jerry Rice guy may have a future in the NFL 🤣

I was 11yrs old in 1994 I remember watching this game in the projects

Walsh's draft advisors recommended not drafting Clark, who ended up being Montana's best receiver for multiple years until father time and Jerry Rice transitioned him into retirement!!! Clark will always be the guy that caught the most important pass that a 49ers QB has ever thrown!!! To me, Clark is easily the second best receiver to ever wear scarlet and gold and one of the best people to ever play the game!!!

Yaay!

The fact that Rick Reilly hates him makes Cosell the best

Death Bowel

85' bears??!! i will always say this 15 and 1 team beats weak ass mc mahon.

joes peak performance. until his late 80's comeback. the GOAT!

George Halas makes an appearance at Kezar Stadium. Pro Football Hall of Fame members Chicago Bears Mike Ditka Bill George George Halas San Francisco 49ers Leo Nomellini Jimmy Johnson

Kezar Stadium in San Francisco was where the legends played.

Before Emmitt Smith there was J.D. smith. For his era 1956 -1966 he was very good among his peers. He was a big asset to the 49ers offense back then. During his 11 season career in the NFL he was a running back for only 8 seasons. Second San Francisco 49er to gain a thousand yards in a season and one of the few players before 1962 to gain a thousand yards in a season ( Steve Van Buren, Tony Canadeo. Joe Perry , Rick Casares, Jim Brown. Jim Taylor and John David Crow). His stats were respectable when he retired 4,672 yards 4.2 average per carry.

End this crime against humanity and put John Facenda in the Hall of Fame!!

These videos are so incredible it makes me wish there was some way to figure out which 49er player threw that block @2:10-11.

Red Hickey's spread out shotgun was very innovative, and he had 3 qbs to run it.

Wilcox is now in the HOF.........From a tiny town, Vale, in Eastern Oregon.................

I thought 89 team was best ronnie lott said the 84 niners we're better

It indeed would be, the year

If NFL television presentation and player attitudes were how they were in 1994, the NFL would be worth 10 times what it is today.

Rocks! Great vocals.

He was my favorite

Glory Days. I even enjoy the early 90’s commercials. 😂

Game was at TWA Dome, not Busch Stadium.

Mike Vick gets a lot of (deserved) glory for turning Va Tech in to a credible football school.. but I actually think Druckenmiller was the start of that turnaround for the Hokies. Vick inherited that momentum, and did a lot with it..

Nice

Also verrry good. We are young.

1:48:15. The Romanowski spit

I'm laughing at the end of this game theres 6 hours of nothing but blue screen.

Ok, yes, I am biased. As a Fighting Irish fan, I do love Montana. Plus, Joe lived right down the street and next door to one of my best friends. So, we would see a lot of Joe atound the neighborhood. With that said, there's just something about the all- time great ones. Something undefineable, but, you know it when you see it. I grew up a Notre Dame fan and I, as well as many others, struggled to comprehend why Devine was so apprehensive about giving Montana the reigns. Some of us knew what we were looking at, greatness, while Devine seemed to somehow not recognize what he had. I was only 12 years old when Montana led the Irish to a Natty during the '77 season. We Montana fans always knew that Joe had it in him to lead the Irish to the Promised Land. There was something about the way he moved. I can't quite put it into words. He would take the snap and then you could just sense this calm confidence in the way he would eye the field. Not slowly, but methodically he would move out of the pocket. You could see the gears spinning in his head as he would check the receivers with an always cool downfield gaze. Then he'd set his feet and with a silky smoothness, throw the ball five moves ahead of the downfield players. You might wonder for a moment, why is he throw...oh, I see now. I think Joe had the quickest quarterback mind ever. He didn't have all the physical tools but his razor sharp mind made up for it. Bill Walsh is one of the great minds in football history and lore. Brilliant man. But, he was OUT OF HIS MIND to play around with two quarterbacks. Yes, Steve Young was a very, very good quarterback. Definitely the 49er QB of the future. But, he's NOT Joe Montana. Walsh should NEVER had played those ridiculous QB games, shutting them on and out. That breaks the chemistry of a team quicker than an egomaniac wide receiver. So, who's the GOAT? I can't argue with anyone who says Tom Brady is the greatest of all-time. His numbers are astronomical. I just want to say, though, that Brady absolutely played in a completely different era. The game Brady played is very different to the game Joe played. That makes it difficult to accurately analyze quarterbacks from different era's. I think it would be VERY intetesting to see how Brady would have fared in Montana's era. I honestly believe that his numbers would be quite different. Some of Tom's Super Bowl wins were in spite of him. Every Super Bowl ring Joe has was a game that Joe was the MVP. Again, it's hard to argue against Brady being the GOAT. If Brady is No. 1, then I think Joe is No. 1a.
