“THE FIRST RING”. Look at this amazing shot of Wendell Tyler from Super Bowl XIX on January 20, 1985. Tyler blasts through as Roger Craig throws a big block and the 49ers head to a touchdown that seals the game over the Miami Dolphins. Here it is — the way Wendell remembers it!
“We were in the third quarter in Super Bowl XIX before we broke the huddle I was thinking about my first Super Bowl XIV with the LA Rams that we lost. It was third down and four yards to go for the first down. Joe had called my play, it was an inside trap. I new if we got the first down, then we would score, and I could get my winning ring. I got the ball and saw Roger throw his block — he and his man went to the ground. The hole was more to the inside; I cut back into the hole and saw the linebacker number fifty one in the hole. Randy Cross our guard was on his way to block him, I was then able to pick up the first down and able to get my first Super Bowl ring.”

“The Warm Up” by Joe Montana is the first Montana Memothentic ever created. The memory is from Super Bowl XIX and it features a rare shot of Montana before the game. This is how Joe Montana remembered it:
“I was warming up my arm & body getting ready for our first possession in SB XIX. We are given the 1st 25 plays that Bill Walsh intended to run in the game on Saturday night before the game. I was running thru the order of the plays and their formations. I was also visualizing the pass plays in my mind and what I would do in different circumstances, like a blitz, if it were to occur. I was also going thru my reads and progression of receivers, for different possible defenses that the Dolphins played. All for nothing at this point since we fumbled the kick off.”

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!”
