SUPER BOWL XXIII
49ERS 20, BENGALS 16
Jan. 22, 1989Bengals running back Stanley Wilson didn’t play after
a cocaine binge on the eve of the game, while 49ers star
Jerry Rice dispelled any rumors of a midweek ankle
injury by tearing it up on the dance floor (and then
hauled in a 14-yard TD, below). That’s about as Miami
a Super Bowl as you’ll get. The Magic City cherry on
top: Joe Montana’s 11-play, 92-yard drive to win it.
