The Super Bowl XVI was the 16th Super Bowl of the National Football League (NFL). On January 24, 1982, the San Francisco 49ers and the Cincinnati Bengals faced each other at the Pontiac Silverdome in Pontiac , Michigan . The winners were the San Francisco 49ers with a final score of 26:21. San Francisco quarterback Joe Montana , who completed 14 of 22 passes for 157 yards and a touchdown and ran a touchdown, was named Super Bowl MVP .
Course of the game
The game began with the first quarterback run touchdown in Super Bowl history. In the second quarter an eleven yard long touchdown pass from Montana to Earl Cooper and two field goals by Ray Wersching for the 49ers followed. The game was already decided at halftime with an intermediate score of 20: 0 for the previously very weakly favored San Francisco 49ers. In the second half of the game, however, the Bengals were in top form and made two touchdowns to the intermediate result of 20:14. This was followed by two more field goals by the 49ers, which the Bengals could not equalize with another touchdown, so they lost with a final score of 26:21.
