Super Bowl XIX in 1985 was almost a home game for the 49ers, since Stanford Stadium is just 30 miles away from San Francisco. The 49ers are considered to be the only team to have won the Super Bowl at home.

Here is Roger Craig’s Memory of this amazing 4th and 1 play:

“It was Super Bowl 19 and the Miami Dolphins had this high powered offense with Dan Marino at QB… During the regular season Dan broke a lot of NFL records, throwing over 5000 yds and over 46 TDs. All the experts had the Dolphins to crush the 49ers. I can remember what my teammate All-Pro linebacker Hacksaw Reynolds told me before the game, to play every play like it was going to be your last. This particular play was 4th and 1 and we needed a first down to keep the drive alive. The Dolphins defense did a good job plugging up the middle and I had to give up my body and dive over the top like Superman to get the first down and we scored on that same drive!”
