Roger Craig's 4th quarter score gives the Niners the lead and eventually the game as San Fran defeats Miami in SB XIX.

OUTSTANDING GAMES:  NONE

WEEK 20: 

SUPER BOWL XIX

20 Miami 21 vs San Francisco 23, at Stanford Stadium, Stanford, California
Bill Walsh got up thus Sunday morning not knowing that all the hard work and effort put into taking his team to the Super Bowl and winning it would ultimately come down to being lucky. Conversely Don Shula whose team was also 18 - 0 this season did not know that sometimes the simple things make all the difference. 

Miami takes the opening kick and drives the ball down to the 49er 11 yard line when the first of the simple things began to go a wry. Uwe von Schamann lined and and missed the 29 yard field goal. Joe Montana gave it his turn and ended with a Wersching field goal. On the 2nd play of the next Miami drive Dan Marino slipped and let his pass float into the arms of Keena Turner. The 49ers wind up getting another FG from their placekicker. Score 6 - 0 SF.

Here Bill Walsh will be questioned, with the 49ers having a 4th and 1 yardf at their own 28 he gambled and lost. The ball goes over on downs and Dan Marino takes it and gets his team 7 points when he finds Mark Duper from 12 yards out. Score 7 - 6 Miami.

The 49ers got the message as they went all the way and saw Roger Craig romp in from 2 yards. Score 13 - 7 SF.Miami goes nowhere and punts and Montana excites the fans driving to the 3 yard line, but the Dolphin defense stood firm and forced yet another Wersching FG. Halftime score 16 - 7 San Francisco.

The thrid quarter belonged to Miami as they scored two TD. Dan Marino showed the mastery of his offense as he dominated this stretch. Their first TD a Johnson 1 yard dive and the second a pass from Marino to Clayton. Score 21 - 16 Miami.

In the final quarter Montana mixes his plays and on another 4th down try the 49ers see Wendell Tyler scamper for 28 yards and the next play has Roger Craig dancing in from 8 yards out. Score 23 - 21 SF. But knowing it is clutch time Marino guides a methodical offense running the ball mostly to get down to the SF 5 yard line. Here he can not find the combination to get the TD so Shula chooses to give von Schamann the shot, at redemption? From 29 yards again the kicker lines up and drives the ball wide left! The Stanford stadium is in shock. You could literally see one sideline slump and the other erupt. San Francisco was then able to run the time out. Final = San Francisco 23 and Miami 21. One for the classics as Walsh and Shula shook hands, each had their own thoughts to deal with. One on how luck is a fickle lady and the other on how the simple things can kill you. 

Congrats to Brandon Hayes on a great season and a super Super Bowl. The Dolphins deserve a standing ovation.
