Quarterback Legends Collide! (49ers vs. Dolphins Super Bowl 19) 

It’s so weird seeing old games in great quality. Sometimes forget that life was in HD.

As a 49ers fan, those days back in the 80’s were IMPRESSIVE.

This was basically a home game for the 49ers in the Super Bowl.

Marino absolutely torched Pittsburgh in the AFC Championship Game, 421 yards and 4 TD. He made some bad throws this game but the S.F. defense was dominant too.

Marino vs Montana. It doesn’t get any better than this!!!!

Joe Montana set the record for rushing yards by a QB in the Super Bowl, which stood for a long time. It is still 3rd all time. Miami was in man coverage and Joe found room to roam and make thing happen. People think of Young's mobility and forget that Joe had wheels.

Shame that Marino never got a ring

Just watching montana throw makes me wish he was still playing. He always had just a joe cool way of throwing. Superbowl with no rice...

Also, I wonder if Football fans (as well as Marino himself) knew back then that this would be Dan Marino's only Super Bowl.....

One of the Greatest teams playing a home game at the Super Bowl.

As a Miami fan, I remembered how much this sucked. But what was even worse was Shula trying to blame Roby and the punting game for being a big reason in this loss. It's true Roby didn't have a great game, but he also didn't give up 537 yards of offense.

Two of the best quarterbacks ever Dan Marino and Joe Montana

Palo Alto 🌲, definitely a home game for the 49ers that Super Bowl 😏🔴

It's crazy how much this game parallels with the superbowl next week.

This is a overlooked Super Bowl. Tbh I never tought Marino and Montana made it to the Super Bowl against each other.

1st quarter: The pass rush got close to Dan Marino. 2nd quarter: Dan Marino was getting kocked down and was seen picking himself up after almost every pass. 3rd quarter: Dan started getting sacked. 4th quarter: 5 sacks and 10+ knock downs later, Dan Marino was getting battered for 3 straight quarters and it showed.

Great quote and point that applied to this matchup that a good majority of the media overlooked: "The thing about Walsh that was totally misunderstood was he had a two-back offense, Montana under center, a tight end. When you see a lot of these "basketball on turf" offenses, their defenses are never physical. When you practice against that all the time, your defense becomes a finesse defense, because you don't practice against the run. They give him credit for the passing game, but he ran the ball and he always had tough, physical teams." -Ernie Accorsi

Marino was slinging in that first half

It’s just beautiful to watch dan Marino drop back and throw a thing of beauty

Unbelieveable how Joe never threw an INT in the Super Bowl. Highest Passer Rating as well.. The Real GOAT in non spygate era

The 49ers took control of the game in the 2nd Qtr and that was it!!

Was this when the 49ers went 15-1

Imagine if this 49ers team had Jerry Rice. It would had been the greatest team of the 1980s *by far.*

My favorite SB win as a Niner fan. Montana outshining Marino was just amazing, along with the rest of the team. Great win.

Hey, wasn't this like a home game because for some reason they played at Stanford stadium?

As a 49ers fan I can't believe Dan Marino never got a ring as good as he was, no defense and no running game.

Super Bowl 55 reminded me of this game! With the QB matchup story and the outcome

We all Dolphins fans were certain that Marino will take us back to the Super Bowl but it never happened...

I wish Dan Marino won this super bowl...but the 84 49ers were unstoppable.

People forget that Montana won two rings before Rice came to town. Everyone tries to downplay Montana by saying he had Rice all along 😂. Joe cool was clutch when it mattered the most with or without hall of fame receivers.

I remember watching this the year after the Raiders beat the Skins. The problem the Dolphins had here was they couldn’t stop the Niners offense. The Niners initially struggled stopping Miami’s offense, but they kept wearing down that O-line. Since Marino pretty much had to throw it in the second half, Niners could focus on pass rushing and aggressive coverage, which resulted in sacks and turnovers. Miami had the best offense in the AFC, but San Francisco had just as good an offense and a much stronger defense. Great game though. I loved 80s football 🏈

The beginning of the NFC's 13-year dominance over the AFC in the SB

Poor Dan Marino....Never really had a chance.

That Dolphins offense was insanely good, and that Niner defense shut them down. 4 pro bowlers in the secondary. One of the best ever. Joe cool was money, and Roger Craig was smooth of out the backfield. Best 49er team ever.

49ers were an absolute beast that year 💪 🏉🏆

Dan was probably the best pure pocket passer ever. That release, the gun, and the accuracy were absolutely top-notch. But Marino never had a whole team around him. Super Bowls don't make players great; they are won by complete teams.

This has a so much a similarity to the upcoming Super Bowl. The team with the defense and the non talked about offense is the 49ers just like in this game. And the hyped offense going into the game are the chiefs and their comparison being the Dolphins because of how hot their QB’s were and no one payed attention to their opponents offense.

Papa Walsh and uncle Seibert made some great adjustments in the second quarter!

There wasn't a single player that I didn't like on the 49 ers 1984 Super Bowl Team. But very sad that so many of them are no longer here with us !

This is the game that made me a Dolphins fan since '83 Marino rookie year!!! I was only 10 years old then and I'll be 51 this year!!! PhinS UP 🐬💯🏈💙 All Day Long for life!!! Heard it All seen it All and still a die hard fan today with the original Dolphin 🐬 symbol tattooed on my lower left leg in color!!! PhinS UP 💯🐬💙🏈

I wish you had shown the pregame where everybody was telling us how Dan Marino was going to dominate. This was the 48 TD season and all the experts had Miami winning big. Joe and the 49ers were just that soft west coast team in a weak division who won the super bowl 3 years ago and were just lucky. This was the new era. Dan Marino was also the least sacked QB in the NFL and had the fewest knockdowns, but in this game he was sacjed 5 times and knocked down 10+ times.

This game could be symbolic of what was to come for Miami for the rest of their years with Marino. A defense begins to figure out the Miami offense and their over dependence on Marino, which leads to pressure on Marino and eventual ineffectiveness and interceptions.

Don Meredith was really enjoying the game! I appreciate these old time announcers!

Coach Bill Walsh is the greatest coach of all time.. these 49ers never loss a Super Bowl with him as Head Coach... Of the greatest offensive minded coaches in the NFL.. they had a really good running game Roger Craig was so dominant and Dwight Clark was a beast

The laces were in

Damn we really take the scoreboard for granted.

How is Roger Craig not in the hall of fame?

I still can't believe Marino never had another chance

Is it just me or Joe Montana looks insanely quick and fast here?

This, and Super Bowl 14 in LA, are the only Super Bowls that have been hosted by a participating team. However this game was held at the massive Stanford Stadium as opposed to the oddly-shaped multi-purpose Candlestick Park. Likewise the LA Rams played in Super Bowl 14 but it was played at the Rose Bowl not the Colisuem or the Big A.

That Was An Awesome 😎 NFL Football 🏈 Classic 🇵🇪🇺🇸 🏈

Watching Montana in his prime is something else. You could still make the argument he is the GOAT.

I know people get down on him because he never won a SB, but I think Dan Marino, along with Terry Bradshaw, had the strongest throwing arms in NFL history.

Not sure if you caught it when doing the cut-ups for this, but there is a shot of Teri Hatcher as a 49ers cheerleader during the broadcast. She was a sugar fox back then.

And they say Dan was better than Joe? Haha it sure didn’t look like it.

Rip Kobe

1:57 Roger Craig 1st player in league history with 1,000 rushing yards and 1,000 reception yards in a 16 game season

I remember me and buddies watching this just two of were going for San Francisco, all those yrs ago.

I really liked Manu in the movie Necessary Roughness. He had a very small part but he was good in it.

Now Rest In Peace Don Shula

One thing I like to point out to those who don't think Montana is the GOAT and he had Jerry Rice. Well I hadn't heard them call Rice name once. Why? because Rice wasn't on the 49ers. Montana had two Superbowls before Rice came. Montana was Montana before Rice ever played in the NFL.

This one was a true heartbreaker for me as Miami was my second favorite team in the league and my favorite AFC team. It didn't help that I lost a $5 bet to my uncle on this game. I never bet on a football game again after that. It was also the end of an era and I didn't even know it. Don Shula would never coach in a Super Bowl again nor would Marino play in one. They would get back to the AFC Championship the next season but after blowing a home win against a very ho hum Patriot team it was pretty well downhill from there. The rest of the decade was pretty painful as both of my favorites would not do well while the Niners, Bears, Giants and Redskins would DOMINATE the league until 92 and I loathed all of them. This game truly marked the rise of the 49ers as a dynasty. The first Super Bowl victory was against a very average Cincinnati team and a lot of the pieces hadn't arrived in SF yet. But with this win the Niners proved the first one was no fluke and neither was Joe Montana. Within a year or so they would add Rice and they went from good to DOMINATE. Everybody put all the hype on Miami for this game. Marino had torched the league that year and set season records that would last for well over two decades. The Niners came into the game with almost the same record as Miami but they did it in a quieter fashion. The big question was all about whether they could stop Marino when it should have been how was Miami's defense going to stop the Niners.

I think this was first time ABC did the broadcast of the Super Bowl I believe 😐🏈

Saludos desde León Guanajuato México. Montana is big. NFL 👍

I don’t see why teams don’t run the 2 running backs behind the qb on each side of his back side anymore… Helps with protection, opening up routes and gives the qb different options…

Lastima que Marino no haya sido.campeón uno de los.mas grandes QB de toda la historia, los 49ers un equipo muy completo gran defensa y ataque además tenía a Walsh.

The announcers are hilarious, “hey, hey, hey, a slam dunk”

I remember the Dolphins were staying at the Hyatt Regency in Oakland and after the game Dan Marino was throwing a tantrum in the hotel lobby! Lol

Dan Marino is the greatest passer I have EVER SEEN period

Roger Craig and Wendell Tyler wow!

This game is my earliest memory "Hey mom, what's a 49er?" "...oh, in 1849 a bunch of people went to California to mine gold, that's why they have gold helmets." "Oh, thats lame, what's a dolphin?" She paused, thought real hard on how to explain a dolphin to a 3 year old "...they're like sharks... but good." Been a dolphins fan ever since.

LACES OUT DAN!

Marino vs montana great but keith Jackson play by play at the super bowl classic

What a great game, the niners dominated!

Nice to see ABC release the audio for this. A rare Frank and Don broadcast - nice 👍🏽

This Super Bowl rythmes a lot with Super Bowl 48. The 49ers frustrated Marino much like the Seahawks did Manning. A good defense overwhelms a historically great offense in both cases.

Watching this reminded me of when Barkley took the suns against Jordans Bull and well that was as close as Barkeley got .

Definitely when Legends Collide!

Watching these highlights makes me feel young 😭😭

the 49 s had a great team that year . 18 and 1 . No shame for marino

I wish SO BAD that Dan Marino has won this game.

Many think the difference in this game was the SF running game, specifically Roger Craig being unstoppable. But Joe Montana was a beast and had too many weapons for the Miami defense to handle. Total SF domination that day.

This 1984 team was arguably the greatest 49er team ever assembled and after that bullshit holding call the ref gave to Ronnie Lott in the NFC Championship the previous season, he was so pissed "he played like a man possessed" according to owner Eddie Debartolo. They went 15-1, but the story of that Superbowl was pushed by the media's hype of MVP Dan Marino, while conversely, treating Montana as an afterthought. Really reminds me of the Patrick Mahomes vs Jimmy G dynamic the media is hyping right now. Hopefully, history will repeat itself this Sunday.

This game was played in Santa Clara at Stanford Stadium.. Just 25 minutes from San Fransisco. Miami had no chance home game for the Niners

#97 Gary Johnson was absolutely dominant in this game.

Don Schula coached for 30 years won 2 Superbowls. Bill Walsh coached 9 years won 3 Superbowls.

Reminds me of this years Super bowl. Marino was unstoppable just like Mahomes. This will be the best D the Chiefs face all year.

I loved the first 3 minutes

9:00 I wish we'd see more POV's like that it gives you better sense of what the players see and how they aren't as bunched up as it looks from a side POV and was this the coldest SB ever played? you see see their breath. And to think it's in CA. I know it can get cold there but didn't expect that. I don't think Marino ran out of the pocket too much in his career like he had to do a few times here.

RIP Clark!!

thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is like the forgotten Super Bowl for 49ers. I was a few years away from being alive for this one. Always see the clips of the two Bengals Super Bowls and the blowout vs the Broncos. This one for some reason is forgotten by 49ers fans.

Excellent

I hate these old games that don't display the score, the time and the down. You don't know until someone scores. The broadcasts have really improved over the years.

I also liked#78 Manu Tuiasosopo!

The best single season team of all time...if there is such a thing..the 84 49ers!!!!

Marino has a Cannon 💪🏿

To be fair to Marino that 1984 49ers team was one of the greatest teams ever. They did everything well and didn’t really do anything wrong. In terms of the definition of the world team they may have been the best ever.

That's funny. Around 3:50 one announcer says miami's offense will be the one of the 90's if rules aren't changed. I'll bet he never even pondered that rule changes would be made to make EVERY offense high-flying

I like that the second announcer is just a fan of the game.
