Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, and John Candy lead 49ers to Super Bowl XXIII comeback


Twenty years ago Joe Montana made history in Super Bowl XXIII at Joe Robbie Stadium in Miami...Montana and teammate Jerry Rice put together one of the greatest Super Bowl final drives in history as San Francisco beat Cincinnati 20-16 in what was Bill Walsh's last game as head coach of 49ers...

During the regular season, it looked like the 49ers were not even going to make the playoffs until a late season hot streak...once in, the Niners made it to the big show once again...

The Bengals were 3:30 away from the Super Bowl aftr Jim Breech's 40-yard field goal put head coach Sam Wyche's team up 16-13...as the Niners huddled at their own 8-yar
d line, Montana broke the tension by pointing out the late comedian John Candy in the stands to his teammates...

Over the next 2:46, Montana hit Rice, Roger Craig, and John Frank as they cut through the Bengals defense...with 39 seconds remaining, his last completion when to John Taylor (photo) for a 10-yard TD and a Super Bowl victory...that would be Taylor's only reception of the game...

On that final drive, Montana went 8 for 9 passing for 102 yards...the game MVP went to Rice who had 11 receptions for 215 yard
s and 1 TD...

Hi there! Quick question that's completely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My weblog looks weird when browsing from my iphone 4. I'm trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix this issue.
If you have any recommendations, please share. Thanks!

I tend not to leave a response, but after browsing a few of the remarks on this page "Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, and John Candy lead 49ers to Super Bowl XXIII comeback".
I actually do have 2 questions for you if it's allright. Could it be only me or does it look like some of the responses look as if they are left by brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are writing on other sites, I would like to follow anything new you have to post. Could you list of every one of your social community sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to
see if it can survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can
be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she
has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with
someone!
