Man what a great team. The defense was very underrated those years.

Before this game, Jerry Rice had appeared in the playoffs for three seasons in a row, but not done much. From here on, his playoff stats became legendary.

"Roger Craig; turn it on Roger". Another classic piece of commentary by Pat Summerall- the master.

Craig walking back to the sidelines after that last TD is such a cool moment. I don't know if it was really this way or just the broadcast's audio, but the crowd seemingly quieting down, then screaming immediately after his fist pump again is just a great moment.

I remember there was a moment near the end of the game when a network camera went up the 49er sideline, and Walsh and Montana gave a smiling pose together. Maybe that was their way of saying all the QB controversy during the regular season was behind them. :)

It’s crazy to think those 49ers were 6-5 at one point (Heck If not for the Steve Young TD run and a Montana-Rice last minute score, they were possibly two plays away from being 4-7!)

New Year’s Day 1989. The 49ers grounds crew usually painted the end zones red for the playoffs I wonder why they didn’t for this game? When Jerry Rice scored 3 touchdowns in the first half I think the Vikings knew they were in for a long disappointing day. This Niners team was focused and determined to mow down every team in their way after the upsetting loss vs the Vikings the year before. The 49ers defense gave up only 1 touchdown all postseason. And the offense was near unstoppable in the two games leading up to Super Bowl XXIII.

Have this game on vcr tape originall broadcast
