background
The Super Bowl was expected to be a very exciting encounter in advance, as the two best quarterbacks in the league, Dan Marino for the Dolphins and Joe Montana for the 49ers, met. It became the first Super Bowl in which the starting quarterbacks of both teams could each throw more than 300 yards. The 49ers could see this game as a home game, Stanford Stadium is only around 50 km from their actual stadium. Super Bowl XIX was the first Super Bowl to be broadcast by the American Broadcasting Company (ABC).
Course of the game
Due to the good quarterbacks, the game was very points rich, in the first quarter there was a field goal on the side of the Dolphins and each team made a touchdown with a pass. In the second quarter, the 49ers made three more and the Dolphins made another touchdown, which is why it was 28:16 for San Francisco at the end of the first half. In the second half of the game there was only another touchdown and another field goal on the side of the 49ers, which resulted in the final score of 38:16.
