1989 NFC Championship Game Rams vs 49ers

[Music] with unflappable poise and unquenching pride the los angeles rams stood as one last week as their target preparation paid off handsomely with another stunning playoff conquest battling to a 60-minute standoff the rams made the first call and the officials made the controversial second call setting the stage for their breathtaking and dramatic dash to an nfc title date standing as a monument to enduring excellence are the san francisco 49ers the venerable and battle-tested champions once again have fought their way to the threshold of yet another conference title with unrelenting plea the 49ers served noticed last week that they are bound and determined to maintain their seat of power as proud and proven barons of the professional football world [Music] familiarity breeds contempt and this rivalry breeds both as the rams and 49ers lay it on the line for an nfc championship we are live at sold out candlestick park for the nfc championship match between the los angeles rams and the san francisco 49ers it's been raining all week but not now the temperature is 53 degrees wind out of the south at 12 miles an hour and right now the field is in pretty good shape good afternoon i'm pat summerhall here with john madden in many ways john i know i've been there i know you've been there this game is more important more pressure than even the super bowl i've always felt that you know if you have one game if this is the most pressure because the playoffs you have to get for the championship game now you finally get to the championship there's two teams down there one to 49ers they're the defending world champion the other the ram now at the end of the day there's only going to be one one goes to new orleans the other team will be forgotten about you know we followed the rams gun down through the playoffs now in philadelphia first last week in new york both games they won both times they seemed very very confident but yesterday in meeting with them and talking with them i didn't get that same feeling did you no and i think that sometimes you know a team so well that instead of getting confidence you can remember all the things that didn't work now i know in talking to both coaches and both teams their biggest concern is that red zone now the red zone is a scoring zone inside the 20. and if you look at the two times they've played this year in regular season the rams have been in there eight times and they've only got in the end zone three times only three touchdowns now the 49ers have gotten in that red zone nine times and they've only scored two touchdowns now that has both teams concerned i know that joe montana said it's so tough to throw in that area i think we're just going to try and run it in today speaking of throwing both teams have a lot of firepower both can throw it both have great receivers both have a lot of weapons but both passing attacks are based principally on timing what do you think is going to happen today well that's what i think it is i think it's going to be a game of rhythm you take joe montana maybe the greatest quarterback has ever played this game he's had a super year and i'll tell you when he gets things going when he gets on a roll when he gets in that rhythm this guy is a master now on the other side jim everett's the same way he's a street passer he's capable of completing 12 15 18 in a row we've seen him do that so i think the offenses are going to try to get that rhythm going get those streaks going i think the defenses are going to try and take the rhythm away set them you know get in their face get in their lanes do things so that they can't get into those rhythms that's going to be the chess match and we're going to have a first look at the 49ers if they won the toss denver has beaten cleveland 37-21 so the winner of this one will again play the denver broncos we've been there three times never wanted mike lansford to kick it off terence flagler and spencer tillman back deep for the 49ers it's a tricky wind of 12 miles an hour but difficult to tell down on the field which direction would be beneficial it's going to be flagler [Applause] he is cut down and cut down hard a flag on the play mark messner made the tackle again a penalty marker already down joe montana a fabulous year fabulous career as he has set all kinds of records his offensive fronts bubba paris mcintyre jesse cepullo bruce colley harris barton the right tackle and brent jones at tight end craig and rathbun the two runners rice and taylor the dangerous wide receivers and then they have two more wilson and gerard if they use four which they intend to the flag was against the 49ers so they'll start from their own 17-yard hurry line in motion montana will go to work early chased out of the pocket complete to his tight end brent jones stopped by larry kelm gain of seven [Applause] the ram defensive front miller right and field four linebackers green kelm strickland and wiltshire and in the secondary gray and urban on the corners washington and stewart the safety man henley and alfred jackson when they go with their nickel package second and three from the 24. taylor's wide right rice wide left jones in motion craig slipped down alvin wright made sure he stayed down no game you know i think that's going to be a big part of this game pat being able to run and not slip because the middle of the field is very very slippery that's the area where the sod really hasn't taken you saw on roger craig's first cut boom he just took two divots out of there and he couldn't make that cut back there are some very slippery spots on it i was down on the field just a few minutes ago and as you point out in the middle where most of the playing is done that's the worst part incomplete intended for roger craig had a hand on it and lost it when he was hit by kevin green hey you know one of the first things you start off with the rams on on defense one of your first goals is to stop that first 49er drive i don't think there's any team in football that's better at the first drive than the san francisco 49ers that's one of those scripted things that you've heard about for so long when bill walsh was here and now under george seifert though not to that degree not as many plays that's leroy irvin back to return barry halton's money just got it out of there knocked backwards by keith delong 36-yard punt jim everett he too like montana a spectacular year in front of him one of the best offensive lines in pro football panky newberry smith loves slater and damon johnson the tight end bell and buford mcgee and willie anderson and henry ellard are as offensive weapons [Applause] hey he sure looks cool for the first play anyway jim everton ass complete that's to willie anderson the flipper the 49er defense here's hope pete coogler and kevin fagan in front the four linebackers haley millen michael walter and tina turner and the secondary followed and griffin in the corners block brooks the safer first and ten rams at the san francisco 36. greg bell you're about the 34 a gain of two michael walter made the stop you know pat it probably doesn't mean anything but i sure like the way that jim evert walked up to the line of scrimmage on that first play he looked like john wayne or something the old gunslinger walking up there and i think it's so easy to tighten up in a big game that when you can get that type of thing i think it's a big plug i was talking to him when i was down on the field everett he said you got everything you need i said i think so he said how you feel i said i feel fine how about you he said i feel terrific to henry eller out of bounds a pickup of 12 stopped by don griffin now these are the guys that can start we talked about being a street passer and he has great pass protection that's what it starts off with look at that pass protection eller just runs it out i think the receivers are going to have an advantage all day today because of that slippery turf on the outside and that was griffin that slipped that time and look at the protection here see they gave everett the timing first and ten rams at the 49er 22. [Applause] ever to work again here comes the blitz successfully hurried everett as he tried to dump it off to bell haley put on the pressure george seifert there's a guy who has done a heck of a job with this 49er team coming in here replacing bill walsh i think he had one advantage in it he had been here a number of years and he was a part of building this team part of building the it'll defense up second and ten overhand was the motion man belle stopped by pagan picked up three you know here's the area that we were talking about earlier is that red zone and it's the area that both teams have had trouble against the other team at 20-yard line that 20-yard line in in fact i think it's ironic today as i look down there at the field pat the 20-yard line yard marker is painted in red this is that zone as you point out where they've had problems 37. about the nine and a half a day i think he could have hit ron brown on the cross he throws it out to mcgee but watch 89 ron brown coming across here he's open too but he threw it to the shorter guy mcgee then ron brown was right there boom to get the block for mcgee to let him get the first down it's first and goal just inside the 10. bell was the lone setback they start holding hand in motion was the closest ram but it was nowhere close to him [Applause] i was talking to john robinson the other day he told me his biggest concern in this game was of not being able to move the ball but being able to move the ball and then not getting it in when they get down there heirbert's 3 out of 5 in this drive bell on second down to about the sixth [Applause] picked up three matt millen made the stop now the rams are coming in with their four wide receivers so even though you're down towards the five yard line this is still a passing down and probably the toughest area to pass on the field because you only have 15 yards of depth a good way to beat this is by using crossing pattern third and goal from the six four wide receivers ever just threw it away henry ellard was close the pressure was put on ever michael walter the linebacker that was the thing that concerned john robinson and both sides not being able to get in michael walter gave the blitz and the pressure on everett but to be honest there was no one open in the end zone for him to throw to so mike lansford with pete hohan holding will try to barefoot a field goal from 23 yards out and the rams break on top 9 38 left in the first quarter and it's the rams three the 49ers nothing [Music] have you driven a [Music] ford the best-selling line of cars and trucks in america for the third straight year and this time by our biggest margin ever lazy for a bear of a thirst i reach for it first i can drink a lot more and it settles the score four fingers number seven the taste is your heaven it's the drink of the moon altoon it moves louie's lips and shakes eric's hips so look out pepsi the move is on now we're singing the diet coke song diet coke has real cola taste in just one calorie so for the rams it has refreshing ramifications so we really doing this we're gonna have a long time together okay i'm late i gotta go talk to you later over it [Applause] this is why allstate gives a 10 discount for cars with anti-lock brakes we're the only major insurance company that does call allstate the rams scoring drive 10 plays they kept it three minutes 41 seconds lansford's 23-yard field goal makes it 3-0 the nfc championship game the winner to play the denver broncos in two weeks in new orleans at summer all the john madden we'll be there lansford to kick it off flagler and tillman deep for the 49ers it's going to be spencer tillman at about 14. down to about the 30 16-yard return graham injured on the play mark messner is the man down he made the tackle on the opening you kickoff here watch lansford as he kicks off you see that plant foot slip i think if they're going to have problems in a slip and it's going to be in that middle area where he had it between the hash marks and of course that could come back in this game to be a problem that kicking especially on field goals from that region of the field candlestick park in san francisco [Music] so one day we just looked at each other and knew it was time to go public was in this meeting our bankers and lawyers fax me those numbers [Music] i'm very confident we'll continue to increase our market where it feels right all right anybody who knows anything about four-wheel drive can tell you about ford's touch drive it's the standard system on this ford ranger and it lets you go in and out of four wheel drive on the fly just by pushing a button on the dash ford ranger number one for all the right reasons so why mess around with some clumsy floor mounted shift like chevy has when you can just push a button see your dealer now for low financing or a thousand dollar cash bonus on ford ranger these are some of the measures that uh the ground crew the maintenance people did before the game that's an aerator over the nfl logo in the middle of the field and then they put down something that looks like very thick sand purpose to absorb some of the moisture three nothing over on the los angeles sideline that's a victory of payne first and king san francisco up their own 30. the rams lead at 3-0 [Applause] craig's left side out of the secondary first down san francisco james washington made the stop a pickup of 13 for craig well the 49ers went to two tight ends only one back in the backfield that was roger craig and they ran that old counter tray that everyone's running now whereas when you have craig running it that gives you another dimension watch him he's going to take a counter step to his right let his old guard no tackle get in front of him and then high step it through the hole again too tight and he gets close to midfield there's a guy who stays fired up tom rathner i think you know that doesn't make any difference playing football to him is just playing it's running it's blocking it's catching it's doing all those things and he doesn't have that big ego like he has to have the ball he's as happy to make a block and have a craig make a run as he is making run himself second and four bratman the lone walls is setback man in motion montana looking to rights got a first down stop by strickland this is what the 49ers want to do now start to get in that rhythm that rhythm isn't all just massive that rhythm is a mixture of run and pass anything to keep moving the ball up the field rice came out wilson went in to take his place taylor goes left wilson comes right looks like rice had something in his eyes [Applause] come up with it larry kelm made the recovery and that's the thing that will kill rhythm there's either a good defensive play or any kind of turnover look at friends sometimes that happens and as a coach you hate to see it because all he's doing brent jones was fighting for extra yardage so you can't tell a guy don't fight for extra yardage but in doing so more and more times you see that second guy come in and strip the ball out mcintyre picked the ball up after jones lost it and kelm made the recovery after mcintyre lost it jimford mcgee left side to about the 35 pickup of two stopped by king of tournaments there's a reverse angle that last play this is the second time in the game that montana started on a sprint watch he sprints to his right kind of slips and fall down his self then throws back throws back to his tight end and seeing it trying to get that extra yard that's when the ball got knocked out you said then mcintyre old bart has it heck he fumbles it too second and eight for the ram their own 35-yard line eric into 49er territory brought down by ronnie lott and michael walters that's the guy they have to watch that's what the 49ers were talking about in the passing game this is the guy pete holy hand chet brook says they got damon johnson's their tight end but when pete hollahan comes in the game he's the guy jim everett looks to in their first two meetings this year [Applause] as in almost every game we've seen the turnovers are the determining factor [Applause] yeah we can see this more what we talked about last week how ernie zampeezy the offensive coordinator of the rams every day in practice he just stands there with jim everett and says let it go let it go let it go meaning get rid of the ball there's ernie zampisi he's this guy right here i think that he is probably the top offensive brain in football today the amazing thing about him about ernie is he is perfectly happy where he is he doesn't want to be a hit film but if i were an owner i would hire ernie sam peasy is a head coach they faked the reverse to run brown and they have a man over ronnie locke what a recovery willie anderson was wide open and ronnie lott came from nowhere to break it up and that was the guy they were trying to get ronnie lot because they were going to fake the reverse and what they said is when they faked the reverse ronnie lot and chet brooks would run up we saw chet brooks a strong safety come but they didn't fake ronnie lot out and he comes all the way over from the free safety to make that play that's one heck of a play by ronnie lott a lot of people thought he might have lost a step but last weekend this week he's proven that he's still got whatever he had that was a big play that was the play that the rams were holding to get a touchdown left michael carter you just saw a minute ago just activated they're going to work against when they fake the reverse they want him to come here he stays back and makes the play over there but watch what happens you see when they fake the reverse they think he'll come up ronnie lott didn't come back he read past stay there and made a great play taylor back deep hatcher the punter down at yard line 453 left to play in the first quarter and the rams on top three nothing [Music] even when all of company b heads for the phone it's no problem for gail godfrey delta airline scale godfrey y'all had another texas yes that is confirmed i got some friends i want to talk to you now just hold

field goal by lansford and the afc championship game won of course by denver and the winner of this game will face denver and new orleans in two weeks four minutes 53 seconds left to play in the first quarter here's roger craig into the rams secondary stop by washington but a 49er first down that's the place you have to run on a wet field is straight up now you got to win that first battle your center against their nose tackle you have to get that because you don't allow penetration inside the 49er offensive line didn't allow any ram penetration then roger craig could just come up there and pick a hole roger craig's one of those guys that we see on rare occasions who can turn it up another night craig nothing there this time stopped by strickland and alvin wright that's what happens when they play before you see when you get them blocked you don't allow penetration then you see an example of the next one where you don't get them blocked and you let a big alvin right get penetration and you let fred strickland get in there fred strickland and nosebacker had to come back in some life as a nosebacker it's a unique position what do you do oh i'm down as a nosebacker [Applause] a gain of 12 yards strickland again jerry rice you pointed out before john i don't know if he got something in his eye or got hit in the eye but that seems to be the problem i know it looks like he's having trouble with the right eye it's still kind of squinting and uh he got hit and came off and hasn't been back in since of course jerry rice is such a big part of this 49er offense the doctor's gonna have another look first down san francisco they're on 32. a couple we're going to have a football game here today see what they're doing now they're they're looking at jerry rice i think this is a play that had happened this was the last play he was in see the screen and he got it right there in the eye by michael stewart looked like a stuart came up hit him with that left hand probably a finger went through the face mask into the eye second down in eighth 49ers they own 35. wilson who has replaced rice split wide to the left williams was a man in motion here's the same way again chased down by larry kelm her gain of three craig the ball carrier we're gonna have a football game here today pat i mean you know they can have montana they can have ever but this game is going to be about linemen this game is going to be about mud this game is going to be about dirt this game's going to be about championships this team's going to be about a team going to the super bowl and this is what football was supposed to be there's going to be a lot of stuff involved right not only stuff but good stuff third and five is in the slot to the left montana gets the ball to john taylor james washington made the stop one of the rare times that montana has gone to his left i know well you know what happens we'll see alvin wright takes a charge here it gets penetration now montana comes back and he's forced to go he's forced one to bring the ball down and then two to go to the left that is what the 49ers were trying to do to him that's what the rams are trying to do i mean they're trying to get him to bring the ball down get him to run to his left we did both those tastes and still completed it first down to the ram 44 9 yard the 49ers are doing what you have to do on a sloppy field you can't make a lot of cuts you have to have a wide base your runners have to have a wide base they can't get their feet together they can't make crossover steps they have to keep a wide base and hit straight ahead montana is already over the sideline the 49ers apparently are going to let time run out in the first quarter with george secret there's prince shermer the defensive coordinator of the rams so that's the end of the first quarter with the score of the rams three the 49ers nothing [Music] when i grow up i'm gonna make my mama proud and design cars just like that ford taurus or maybe a ford pro my brother says all his successful friends drive one oh i've got to design a car like mrs jackson's mustang i'll be rich and famous that's not supposed to be a car is it oh well back to the drawing board [Music] in paris they lined up in the streets in rome it was standing room only in la and new york his concert sold out in an hour so if you want to see paul mccartney and his new band get in line early and get out your visa card because a concert like this doesn't take place every day and it doesn't take american express [Music] lisa it's everywhere you want to be made up my mind i'm gonna do it why shouldn't i i'm the one who has to look at myself in the mirror every morning so before i lose another hair i'm going to the doctor i know doctors have treatment programs that are proven to work more guys are trying them every day i'm not bad now but i wouldn't mind looking better your doctor can really do something about hair loss so see your doctor or call this toll-free number [Music] second quarter coming up at candlestick park the nfc championship game with the winner going to new orleans for the super bowl to play the denver broncos the afc champions congratulations to them and to dan reeves candlestick park of course sold out for this event rained all week long and then today just now bright sunshine has come out wallace comes in at left tackle to replace bubba paris and perry tausch goes in playing guard second and two that's rasman not backwards sean miller loss of a yard well the rams got the the penetration they needed that time by sean miller you know again that's what it is it's if the line can knock the defense off then there's going to be running room if the defense gets across the line of scrimmage as sean miller did at the point of attack there's not going to be a running room jerry rice back in the game as is gerard they show you four wide receivers all of them are very dangerous montana up the middle enough for a first down stop by kelm you watch what they do they have four wide receivers now they're just going to take rathman to pull back he just does a check through he checks the blitz there's no flicks now he goes through only about one or two yards he becomes the outlet okay that's just about impossible to cover because you have to remember he's coming out of the backfield there's already four wide receivers out there that are running everyone's feet [Applause] first and 10. richardson was the man in motion this is craig the rams bottle that one up you cannot run that play on this field today and roger craig is going to learn it or george seaford's going to learn it or mike holmgren but watch what happens when you try and go wide you try and stretch out now you can't cut back you cannot turn from being perpendicular to parallel on this field today that's really the kind of runner too john that roger craig is yeah but he can't do it today he can't stretch it and turn it he has to just turn it seven out of eight that one the rice there's no one better at running and throwing a football than joe montana now he's running up that's the third time he's rolled out to his right today and look at jerry rice everyone has so much respect for him going deep jerry gray was thinking deep all the way in coverage and then jerry rice is able just to cut it off and run that out or come back you got gray turned all the way around and then came back to montana a gain of [Applause] 19. two yards may be stopped and hit first by washington one thing about this ram defense when you run in here there's going to be a whole bunch of white jerseys and as you know the the ram defense may not be a great defense for a lot of great players but they're a very well coached defense but this guy with his hands on his head chris sherman who could very well be the next coach for the phoenix cardinal he's certainly one of the leading candidates here's montana back again open is brent jones touchdown san francisco they hit you so quick well they have jerry rice on one side john taylor on the other side and you get so concerned with those guys that they will leave brent jones go free up the middle that's exactly what the rams did that's jones fourth catch of the day [Applause] mike coper to try the extra point he's missed two in the regular season brent jones is a tight end on the right 84 on the right of the screen starts to the outside that he's going to come back in montana gets back brent jones is wide open again because of the concern of the outside receivers 73 49ers a triple header thriller seton all pittsburgh oklahoma arizona notre dame lsu what a saturday next weekend offer the average american a ticket to the super bowl and even the most stable personality can undergo change well here's your ticket the actual program for this year's super bowl 200 pages of scouting reports features and nfl photos make it the finest program at sports send 795 to super bowl 24 p.o box 24 trenton new jersey 08651 that's box 24 trenton new jersey think of it as your ticket to the game yes it was truly a great honor to be chosen as the most valuable player in super bowl 23 but i have come to know that there are a lot of people who are the most valuable players in their community here in san francisco there is a critical need for our professional daycare services and for all of you who give to the united way you are the mvps the most valuable people in san francisco the united way it brings out the best in all of us this message furnished by the national football league cbs sports coverage of today's national football conference championship game is sponsored by ford and your ford dealer have you driven a board lately a t the right choice and by miller lite bringing you the entire miller lite all-star super bowl game in today's second quarter [Music] back at candlestick park in san francisco they all said they were bringing different kinds of shoes and different kinds of plates that's bruce colley well the the wetter the field is the more money the field is the longer cleat you want so as they change cleats they will keep getting longer and longer cleats as the field gets sloppier hoper's kickoff delpino and brown back deep for the rams that's delpino to about the 23. 11 17 left to play in the first half 49ers seven the rams three arrow pollard made the tackle for the 49ers the rams will take over their own 24. [Applause] this is it the game is about to start less filling taste green call it it's a nickel no quarter herrera kicks off just a little deep i'll throw it to twice yeah he's got hands like glue jones drops back touchdown if tastes great can hang on to this lead they get the case of miller lite and go to the super bowl we need that secret weapon don't worry we're gonna get that case the volvo 240 has built a reputation for surviving accidents and we at subaru have always been impressed by that so we gave the new subaru legacy wagon unibody construction like the volvo 240. but unlike the 240 the subaru legacy is available with full-time four-wheel drive and anti-long bricks because the best way to survive an accident is not to get into one whenever i used to watch tv my brother tom would always flip me out then we got this magnavox smart window tv that lets tommy flip through all the channels and i can keep watching what i want to now i can see what i've been missing and that's quite a lot at summer all john madden 49ers leading 7-3 the scoring summary so far rams scored first 3-0 from 23 yards out by lansford and the 49ers just scored on a 20-yard pass from joe montana to brent jones michael carter in a nose tackle for the 49ers he's been out since week eight well he had a uh it wasn't a broken right foot it was a strain right foot and it was in a cast until this past week since that eighth week they had that right foot cast and took it out this week it's only worked out a couple of days everett's gonna put it up complete henry eller the intended receiver 49ers have had the ball twice as long as the rams here in the first half and they lead 7-3 [Applause] are you ending with with michael carter being out that long and being that big and that strong he is not going to have a lot of endurance so they're going to spot him a play here and a play there and george seifert said maybe 10 plays at the most places taken by coogler who started second to ten ran i'll tell you one thing about ronnie lott when he if he's going to run all the way across the field and get you on the sideline he's going to bring the flow low he doesn't come across here and pursue and get all the way over there and then just bring a quarter or a half a load when he gets here watching 42 he is going to he's going to unload that whole thing he brought he's sort of the catalyst the leader of an underrated 49er defense tell you what any top guys who has ever played that position on third down swings it out to mcgee again he will get a ram first down stop by eric wright gain of nine there's a guy who's been really playing well especially in the playoffs and i think that because of that he's playing more and more they used to put robert del pino in on passing downs now del pino is a little nicked up so they're leaving buford mcgee in so we've always known that you know that he's a real good blocker does all those tough things but now they're throwing to him more and more he's caught three today he might have gotten a yard beaten coogler played that one perfectly pat watch him he's right there over the center now what you do is boom you take that guy on and then just ride down the line of scrimmage don't let him knock you back you see how he takes on smith gets his hands on him starts to ride right pushes smith off and then what he's right there for the cutback second and nine in the tricky part of the field holehand in motion the rush is on everett the pass is to eller incomplete john griffin the defender here's the guy who's becoming one of the best cover guys in this league john griffin you don't hear a lot about him although he's into pro ball now but that is great coverage he's on him all the way gets that left hand in there and knocks it away that's textbook third and nine one being able to get on them and stay with them and then two being able to finish it off with a knockdown picked off by ken mckeyer heller knocked him out of bounds mackayer came up with a deflection i think it was don griffin in the first place triplet again was there on the coverage he knocked it out then it went up to mckeyer we were just talking about griffin being one of the the best cover guys you watch you're ever throwing it out there watch it right there 29 griffin hits it up and then mckeyer is coming back and he ends up with the interception pass was intended for henry ellert this duval love that knocked mckay out of bounds tim mcguire had a big interception last week in the playoff game against the minnesota vikings first and ten from the ram 27 for the 49ers trying to add to their lead by craig not much room sean smith put him down as you said last year the word was you take away rice and you take away craig and everyone tried to do it last year and couldn't do it now the 49ers because of that are throwing more to brent jones of throwing more to tom rasman and of course they're throwing more to john taylor so now you have an offense and that's the problem who do you take away a lot of weapons a lot of pressure on today because vince newsom is a free safety vince newsome was injured last week against the giants and john washington had a start as a free safety the big play here one you have to cover that guy and then getting rasman down like that in the open field that's good tackle first game he's ever started third and two 15 yards that was one of those massive where they took away the lane made montana bring the ball down but in doing so all he did is find his secondary receiver and when that's roger craig that's a pretty good play in itself [Applause] he took away the lane he was trying to go to the left he was trying to go deep and made him bring the ball down like they wanted to defensively but then he brought it back up again to hit roger craig from the four with 7 58 left to play in the first half and the 49ers leading 7-3 two tight ends who about the two stopped by kelman owens hey the way he runs in there let's just watch this on the click of the way he cheats back a little you see in the stance he's back so craig is going to grant it rathman's going to block it all right he gets that thing there right there's a block he knows he's going to run off that block rathman turns him out boom he's going to cut right back off that thing 49er touchdown and there's power football you just take that ball and ram it in there in the right side behind your garden tackle but no penetration they knocked the whole pile the whole thing back into red helton will hold cobra for the extra point good set up by the turnover almost inevitable ray gets the touchdown and it's 14 to 3 49ers welcome back to the miller lite all-star super bowl game coach when is on the headset yeah could you send over a pizza what's the address here oh it's the old coochie coochie [Music] a secret weapon and who's going to win that case of great-tasting better light and go to the super bowl we're going to get

passed the distance the knicks faced the pools it doesn't get any better than this next sunday [Music] [Applause] mike peel over on the sideline looking at his he had a bad elbow they took him inside for x-rays i assume that was what the problem would be that's one of the big advantages of football as we know it today that if a guy can get injured they can take him in get an x-ray right now look at it and then determine whether the guy can play or not anymore delpido and brown back deep for the rams this is brown near the 30 knocked out of bounds by daryl pollard again 24 yard return by brown we have seven minutes two seconds left to play in the first half the 49ers striking quickly as only they can lead the rams 14-3 guys in the second half let's try to remember what we are playing for pride glory and 24 cans of america's favorite light beer now we don't care about finding super bowl tickets in that case the airplane the hotel or the money we don't care about those things do we yes

by john creighton hovering overhead traffic up there pat i saw a helicopter go by and a blimp and a an airplane you got and a couple of birds a lot of aircraft up there [Applause] still on his feet to about the 47-yard line before ronnie lachlan finally got him down after a pickup of 19 yards greg bell is one of those guys that is built for this type of field because there's not a lot of them to hit and most of the stuff that he has to hit has pads on it and he just kind of pulls all those pads together and you hit plastic against plastic and unless you wrap up you tend to bounce off intercepted by tina turner a fumble by turner and i think the rams might have gotten it back yes sir i know john robinson is rooting for him to get it back and they did that even brought a smile because when you're down 14-3 you can't give them the ball here again because they can put you away on this one yet the the defense is throwing everett's timing off they're getting him out of sync you see he had a pump to the thing now he came back to a secondary receiver and there were three red jerseys around his secondary receiver whereas luckily for the rams turner fumbled down and newberry made the recovery robinson he'll not only coach it for you he'll officiate it for you gary markbright as the referee today sure won't play it for you but you see again turner that ball just slipped out as he was jumping over keena turner went to jump over and the ball slipped out newberry made the recovery what they did is a replay took a look at that play and then of course it stays as stands it was a fumble and a recovery hell do about the 45 5-yard gain stopped by kevin fagan and jim burton you know we were talking earlier how jim evert is a street passer i think he started out on a streak and he started out with confidence and i think his freak has left him and along with his streak his confidence is gone so now within this thing he has to get it back again and that's the type of thing that will come and go during a game well we've seen it happen in philadelphia happened and he came back strong at the end of the game as he did last week against the giant quickly should be enough for a ram first down he's dragged down by chet brooks six yard pickup and one of the things we were talking about wanting to do is is not only have mcgee in the backfield and check through but work out come in motion and work out and really have your full back buford mcgee end up out as a wide receiver hoping to get that secondary spread out as they did less than five minutes remain first half 49ers leading 14-3 [Applause] might not get up he gets the guy stop puts a marker there and says hey that's it there's an amazing story this guy matt millen has really helped this 49er team he was waived by the raiders and he was going to sign with the rams the rams were all set to sign him he went to bed he woke up the next day and said no i think i'll go listen to the 49ers he came up and listened to 49er offered and has never gone back not only a leader as a player as you point out also an emotional asset the beaufort mcgee [Applause] four-yard pickup it was funny how buford mcgee was kind of a throw-in to the rams they got him from san diego along with pete holland they just kind of the chargers kind of threw them in then the way they got greg bell buffalo just kind of threw him in and these two guys are becoming big players for him that time i think buford mcgee just landed on the ball [Applause] in any case he's down on the ram sideline boy there's nothing that hurts more than that i remember as a player we used to have those fumble recovery drills and you'd be a big old fat guys running around you and when you missed it and hit in the stomach but it let all the air out here that's five catches for mcgee and i think that's exactly what happened to him this is a ram timeout with three minutes and 21 seconds left to play in the first half and the 49ers up 14-3 welcome back to the miller lite all-star super bowl game it's been a see-saw battle back and forth and with 10 seconds to go it's all tied up send in the secret weapon can it be yes it is a legendary wild willy wet wow willy went my brother the greatest man to ever play the game just give me the ball [Applause] he passes it he catches it what moves he's running the wrong way he's running the wrong way he's running the wrong less way wins it for tastes great let's go to the locker room can't beat the great taste of miller life hey it ain't over till the fat lady sings all right two diggers i got plenty of super bowls there's still time for you to find super bowl tickets inside cases of miller lite sorry george ah come on let's go to new orleans really wrong way come on next saturday here on cbs triple header seton hall against pitt at 12 o'clock eastern time in oklahoma arizona at two and then at four notre dame against lsu in the superdome in new orleans which next week will be the site of the super bowl we're expecting time total about 60 000 for that basketball game third and two on the 49er 41s delpino goes in motion and complete in the direction of ellard the part of it is jim everett who's a street passer being off his streak and the other part is good defense the 49ers are just getting endeavored enough to to throw that sink off and the coverages are just taking away his men in his lane john taylor back deep and the 49ers call a timeout this 49er defense who again has been excellent and the thing they're probably deciding here is they want a defense in here that will be a safe defense you know that will if they're going to fake will be ready to play defense instead of kick return but you know jim everett has thrown 11 times to his wide receivers and he's only completed two so that's the thing that he has to figure out you can dump him off your tight ends and your backs but he is not able to get it out there to his wide receiver 3 16 left to play in the first half again that was the score in the afc championship game the broncos at home beat the browns 37-21 matches kick the direction of taylor bear catch at the 12. 28-yard punt by dale hatcher 49ers lead it 14-3 that's all the 49ers wanted to do was play that safe punt return they're probably not believing that they're really going to punt it there and if they're only going to punt it 28 yards they just want to be solid and get the ball first and 10 san francisco at their own 13. this is where the rams would love to force a turnover that's great wrapped up by the rams after a gain of two led by alvin wright there's john marshall he's the defensive line coach of the 49ers he's talking to those defensive linemen and again one how to how to play the run how to stay in your lane and how to continue to keep that pressure on everett and so far they've done a good job of that second down and eight number 15. montana a flag on the play intended for taylor or in the direction of taylor jerry gray was the ram defender that was one of the things the 49ers were going to do joe montana said his throat double pattern you'll like it in and up and out and up a hook and go and that's what he just threw to john taylor mark wright officiating the nfc championship illegal contact foul number 25 defense automatic first down i think john taylor was going to give him a pattern watch john taylor come off on jerry gray now they called the penalty there but see that was going to be like an in and then go there's mike field we saw his x-ray we saw his elbow injury and they've just taken him in the locker room first penalty of the day against the rams montana on first down gets to craig and the rams are there in a hurry the first one larry kelm you ever notice that the closer you get to the super bowl the fewer penalties i think that's only the second penalty of the game the first one was on the opening kickoff and i don't know if they're playing better football or if they just don't officiate it as tightly mark messner also headed into the ram locker room he was injured on a kickoff return we'll get the two-minute warning did you hear the one about the four lumberjacks who fit in a dodge dakota pickup or are we stretching our credibility the new dakota se club cab now available in your neck of the woods now get up to 2 000 cash back at dodge guaranteed bow knows football oh no it's baseball basketball bono's tennis [Music] no [Music] you don't know [Music] [Music] wow [Music] oh you you do know this next sunday john and i'll be in new orleans for the sixth annual all madden team and i think a lot of people wonder john how you go about selecting that team well you know we're in the 90s now look back computers guys they're working here they got their pies on then i got my own guy a bubba and he's putting some data in there and stuff i mean he put stats in there and all the numbers we got then they put intangibles in things that well like this was being intangible you just stuck intangibles in there you don't know what's going to come out on this team i have no idea this group wants chet brooks that's not a bad idea that guy is a hitting fool here's montana again going deep this to rice over chrome gary gray running with rice montana a typical day 10 out of 12 108 yards the touchdown pass to brent jones i'll tell you one thing he's going to be the quarterback because i don't know that i've ever seen anyone do it any better than this guy does it and he just plays at a different level another level and he makes it look so easy you know like the rest of people i mean you struggle you struggle through life to do things and this guy comes in and kind of makes a joke just sort of glides around and gets it done i mean even in practice everything he does is like that third and 12. he will get enough for a 49er first down leroy irvin and larry kelm stopped him ratsman i think took advantage of a pick well the 49ers do a lot of that and they they rub off the umpire a lot too the official standing behind the defense a minute and 20 seconds second and one there mike wilson out of bounds and that will stop it with a minute 11 seconds left to play in the first half seven yard pickup the other thing about montana this is his 11th year and any situation that comes up he's been there and he's in a situation now a two-minute drill although it's a two-minute drill at the end of the half he's been there so many times and been successful so many times that he just creates a feeling in the huddle that something good is going to happen this radiates that confidence gerard there's an interesting story broke his leg twice the cowboys sort of gave up on him and now the 49ers are very high on this young man he hasn't played in a couple of years last week was his first game he didn't catch a pass he said he's waiting for his first pass and more important that first hit there he just got a little bump but he said playing last week and dressing was like the first time he ever played football in his life second and four montana to work again again [Applause] strickland jerry gray draped around him after a gain of five they have one left [Music] nice move jack the prelude si with four-wheel steering from honda [Music] coming up at the halftime it's brent irv will and randy cross and also chicago bear head coach mike ditka joins brent to analyze the first half along with don makowsky the quarterback of the green bay packer there goes ernie zampson the offensive coordinator i remember last week he went off the rams got a turnover and he wasn't there to call a flight first roger craig picks up seven right up the middle clock continues to run the 49ers have one timeout left right now would be a 52-yard field goal nobody operates this two-minute drill better than this guy either and so calmly you know in that situation you know people always that why don't they play the whole game like that and of course you don't have a chance to get your guys in and the coaches don't have a chance to call the plays but when you have a guy like montana you probably could play the whole game like that yep [Applause] is 16 out of 19 for 165 yards and one touchdown when he gets to about the three stopped by james washington and they take their last timeout 15-yard game james washington doesn't want to do something stupid here your emotions are high but you can't lose your cool you have to compete until the whistle blows but not after there is a flag on the play there's roger craig and you see what they do is they just run down and sit down in those zones we have a place to have a great feeling by san francisco we have a personal foul unnecessary roughness on number 61 san francisco after the timeout was called oh that's jesse cepullo the center look there's strickland there he's getting her right hand in there this is a pretty good brawl they had going there serious somewhere they're going to get number 61 jesse this is just going down there to protect this guy but that that that was a big play because the 49ers were in position where they could have run or pass to get in the end zone now they're back on the 14-yard line or the i guess it's the 18-yard line right now that has to be a passing play into the end zone because they've used all their timeouts there's mike holmgren right there this guy here he's the offensive coordinator of the 49ers and he's the guy that calls their play and he's also a guy who's been prominently mentioned as a head coaching candidate somewhere in the nfl eventually he will be a head coach but notice how this game has gone this nfl game it's gone to a game of coordinator and the coordinator is the guy that you have to defend now the coordinator is a guy you have to attack first down back at the 18. for the bundle to taylor touchdown they put a statue outside the candlestick of joe montana i think everyone would just walk by it and bow their head right now you don't get any better than that taylor might have been shaken up a little bit on a touchdown catch but now he seems to be okay you're starting to take the pants off that's not again good pass protection now they give him lane you see lane to throw it in where he can step up and throw and then find john taylor down here taylor got inside of leroy urban watch him he had to ball up he brought it down and then he sees john taylor wide open here's taylor here he's going to come up and run the post right in here irvin just hangs outside the inside guy doesn't get over and he's hit right in here with the ball by joe montana we'll watch taylor come he's going straight up the field now he starts outside then back inside see that move he gave on irvin and then montana popped him in that hole that was a heck of a move that john taylor made if you're going to the post before you go to the post you give a corner move he was explaining that now i got him going to the inside then i popped it back to the i got him going the outside and popped it back to the inside jesse cerfolio got the penalty see him with a big smile there he's saying thank you joe montana thank you john taylor thank you offensive lines they put together that whole drive without one single pass to jerry open rice the kickoff down to del pino volpino to midfield and into 49er territory that's the last play of the first half and that's the end of the first half with the score of the 49ers 21s durans three cbs sports coverage of today's national football conference championship game is sponsored by united

allstate came through when they had to and i'm glad we have it [Music] um well you talk about a dream season folks that's what the san francisco 49ers are having 21-3 they lead here at the half a week ago it was 27-3 over minnesota they can't seem to do much of anything wrong can they my pleasure now to bring in mike ditka and irv cross and mike before the game started you said that number 42 ronnie lott set the tone for these niners well he really does i think everybody's going to rave about the great game joe montana has and it's true he has but the defense has given the rams nothing they've shot him out all the way they made the plays they had this play normally what would have been up there to make the tackle on the reverse he stayed back and made a great play i'll guarantee if they would have reversed the ball there he would have made the tackle that's how good a football player he is i tell you ronnie a lot of stitches kind of player i could tell man he comes out he comes out and gives him everything he has every week i need 35 of those guys hey uh tim mckeyer is your kind of player he may get some more bucks for what he's doing well yeah you know um john mcveigh the vice president here at the san francisco 49ers told me before kickoff that kim mckeyer is a great cover guy he has a problem with the thigh right now that's why it's not starting but he has good reaction to the ball now watch what happens here number 22 pictures fall off picks up a bezier blockers along the far sideline and sets up the 49ers for another scoring opportunity and you know how about joe montana mike it's 135 playoff passes without an interception it looked like a master surgeon operating in that last drive i've never seen anything like it the guy can do no wrong he's got great receivers but he gets the ball to him he's the catalyst that makes it all work he sure does and during that time he has thrown 14 touchdowns now that's three playoff games a year ago including a super bowl triumph last week to four now he has come back with two i don't know if anybody can stop them but i know one team that it may get a chance and that's the denver broncos congratulations to that organization we want to take a look at some of the action from the denver bronco victory over the cleveland browns in the afc championship today 37-21 john elway with a huge day and michael young with 73 yards for the score here he caught two passes for 123 yards now cleveland did close back to within three in the third mel bratton fumbling at the denver 28-yard line felix right of the rounds returns it 27 yards to the one-yard line and from there the brown struck but then it was elway again with bobby humphrey out with an injury for dan reeves in came sammy winder 39 yards on the score here he scored twice elway threw for 385 yards in that 37-21 win and mike i know you watched that afc game with me what were your thoughts about the denver broncos well i think it's really the best offensive output the denver broncos have had all year i know that pleases dan very much and i want to congratulate dan and the denver bronco organization for a great season that they had they turned it around completely from last year but once again the key to that football game i think was the way their defense played it gave their offense time to get on track and actually seven of the points that the brown scored were against denver's offense so i think they played outstanding defensive football irv the broncos have got something to prove minneapolis is hoping to go for four entire super bowl records we can sit here and laugh about it but i'll tell you you get to the super bowl that's quite an accomplishment right dan reeves has done such a great job of coaching that football team in my opinion it's unbelievable i know there's a lot of guys who should be coaching the year but he's my fit and we're going to talk to dan in our post game show and we're going to come back and talk to

here just taking what defense has given him play is real cool and he's he's a guy to look up to yeah mike uh what can the rams do to pops get back in this game well you know i said earlier to you uh personally that they can't give up i mean they got to go back to doing what they the short passes they hit mcgee coming out of the backfield they seem to lost their downfield passing game they got to go with what the 49ers are playing a lot of zone right now and they got to take what they give them and not get not get impatient run the ball a little bit i know you're not going to get rich running it but you got to run at some in there that's the only chance they got and they got to play a better defense they're playing all zone on defense and they're getting burned bad hey mike how would makowski look in a bare uniform next year he'd look good in any uniform he was the main reason we lost two football games for those guys and and i want to congratulate the green bay factory organization for an outstanding season a lot of people think i don't like them but i respect what it's the first time i've picked your coach very much i do exactly i do mean that very much congratulations let's check in now with the rest of our gang and here's randy cross randy thank you brent going coming into the locker room in this tunnel early the 49ers were talking about two things let's get that fourth ring but they're also talking about hey remember that monday night game the rams had a big lead on the 49ers and the 49ers came back and beat him in that game so they're very very concerned about that from the offensive standpoint the 49ers are worried about the blitz the rams have to start taking chances and make something happen now to willman mcdonough at the rams locker room thanks very much randy we had a chance to talk to fritz sherman the defensive coordinator of the rams before he went into the room and he said that for three weeks they've looked at the rams and noticed they've run very well to the excuse me the 49ers run well to the weak side and they come out and heard him with that today they heard him with a double tight end formation but the other night talking to the rams assistant coaches about john robinson i asked him where is he really great and they said he's great at the half and when he went in today he really chewed him out a little bit and when the guys come out they're all yelling let's go with zero zero let's go back upstairs now to pat and john all right will and i guess you'd have to say we're watching an artist at work you said in your opening comments that joe montana might be the best quarterback of all time and he has certainly done nothing that would discount that today and i would think he is the best quarterback of all time and the interesting thing the rams have really done a lot of the things that they wanted to do but montana are still beating them you know like they wanted to get in the lanes make them get the ball up and then bring the ball down and back and he's doing that he's having it up he's bringing it down and then he's going and just look what he's done well here in the first half 18 out of 21 for 198 yards two touchdowns and he has distributed his passes to many different targets well you know not only that as we see how he distributed it to his wide receivers his running backs and his tight ends but he's thrown the ball in that half he's prone to seven different defensive guys now if you're the rams defensive staff what do you do do you say we got to stop this guy we got to stop that guy we got to do this and when they hit you with seven different guys in joe montana i tell you i don't i don't know what you do except that you have to match him on offense with your offense you've known john robinson a long time you've been friends for a long time what would he tell his team at the hat well i think that he's probably gonna say like they say that the score is zero to zero that they scored 21 points in the first half we can do it in the second half we've scored in bunches before and we're gonna have to do it now okay cbs sports coverage of the national football

invites you to see why nobody's winning like the heartbeat of america right guard sports stick from gillette antiperspirant deodorant anything less would be uncivilized and by the good time great taste of mcdonald's second half coming up at candlestick park beautiful area been raining all week but today we've been blessed it's cool and pleasant 49ers set to kick it off leading 21-3 pat sumrall with john madden brown and del pino roger craig stretching gopher's kick sails about eight yards deep into the end zone handled by delpino he downs it and the rams will take over at their own 20. and they have to get something going now and uh you know and get a straight get a hot streak but also knit some things together with a running game you know and the first half we know what average stats are we saw those but they have yet to get a rushing first down so the rushing first downs are the things that keep drives alive and together and they've got to play better defense montana has just cut them apart [Applause] here's everett under pressure got the ball up the middle of greg bell haley walter and hope notice how that pressure changes when you're when you're down and they they know that they have to pass and now look at the 49ers come when jim everett throws the ball there's three red jerseys on him i'll tell you that that will take a lot of confidence out of a quarterback second and five it brings up two tight end this time for the ram no game by tina turner [Applause] they they the place that they do the job is in the middle here watch pete coogler if the nose tackle 67 can take on that block and not get knocked off the line of scrimmage that takes away cut back lanes you see what happened because they held the middle now the cutback starts and all they do is run into a wall that makes it third and five rams at their own 25. here's everett that is not the type of start that the rams were talking about at halftime watch fagin and haley are the pressure guys there comes fagan and again haley is right there and that's what you want to do to a quarterback get him just as he throws the ball then he can't step up and i tell you that takes a lot of a lot of that confidence i was talking about that you can knock it out of a quarterback like that hatcher back to punt on taylor backstage for the 49ers 40. el pino knocked him down but penalty is on the play i think it's going to be about against wesley walls number 89 of the 49ers i saw it coming all the way he just couldn't stop himself illegal block number 89 on the return first down you could see it coming the ball was coming one way and walls is going the other way and you just can't pull off and what he was saying is it is that he hit the guy in front i don't know that that's the thing was right there we made contact with him he sure knocked the guy down so the 49ers take over at their own 28-yard line first to 10. to craig mcintyre with a devastating block in front of praise guy mcintyre is one of the best pulling guards in the game you know he's not a big guy i mean he's not he's not the type of guard that you think of a big old heavy guard but watch number 62 mcintyre he can run like a running back and he can get out in the open field and stretch out and you see him stretch and just hit leroy irvine boom get him going backwards look at that one and craig will get the first down michael made a stop game for roger craig you know what the 49ers have been able to do they've been able to again knit their drives together with a running game and i think that you know they have everything going we see george seifert he gets a play from mike holmgren and they send it into joe montana but they've had great mixture today well you know what he does all his passes are the short ones and then run look 12 for 14 under 10. six for six between 10 to 20. and really over 20 yards he's only thrown one pass now they'll they're they're probably better the 49ers at catching the ball and becoming runners instantly probably better than that than anyone else in the game i think they're also a little quicker getting off first than anyone else in the game they almost look like the film is speeded up when you watch it nothing there for craig this time prince strickland stopped him after a gain of one you're roger craig he looks like a warrior he's running right out of his socks he's in the process of running out of his socks the socks started up by his knees look the right one still up there the left one's at half mask and if he keeps going like this in this kind of day he's gonna he's gonna run right out of him third and five the 49ers pretty much doing what they set out to do they've run it 20 times they've thrown it you know he just moves the ball around you know just like a basketball team i mean he's throwing it to everyone look jones just caught four taylor three rapping four rice three break two gerard two and wilson won i mean as i said it's not one guy that's seven different guys he's thrown the ball to so you put it over on defense you say how do you cover these guys it's almost impossible this is mike holmgren he was a guy behind the boat he's the guy that's calling that mixture out of bounds by washington but near another first down yeah you wonder you look at joe montana in his eyes and the way he feels about this game you wonder if just inside he's just kind of not giggling a little you know that there's something about this game this championship game that is too easy you never admit to that you're giggling in a championship game but somewhere where you got someone up against the ropes and it's no it's your day in your game two tight ends for the 49ers roger craig the home second yeah this guy can do a lot of things bunch of block here by jamie williams number 81. he's going to help bubba paris starts to the inside he keeps the outside guy from getting in there he keeps that linebacker from penetrating the linebacker's trying to get to the inside he keeps him out there jamie williams they picked him up as a plan b player from houston and he's a good blocking tie-down this time is wrapping he hammers inside the 20. knocked out of bounds finally by jerry gray but a 17-yard run a good block by bubba paris i think roger craig on that play before may have gotten knocked out he looked like a fighter who just took a punch i think but then you get him out of there and here comes tom rathman you see who was down there blocking for him jerry rice any long run there will be a wide receiver who makes a block still talking to roger craig on the 49er bench i think he's got dingman and short yardage play henderson has taken his place he gets the carry to about the 15. seeing perhaps of one sean smith we got it going down in there now i mean we got you know you don't get a lot of games with that artificial turf and stuff you don't get a lot of games with mud but now we got it but isn't it something there's four teams in the championship games today all of them are from turf fields grass fields regular old-fashioned grass no domes none of that stuff cleveland denver the rams and the 49ers second and nine play it the way they're supposed to play it the broncos are already in the super bowl the winner is from plato montana he gets out of bounds at about the 11. picked up four yards there he is left but he's saying i did it like randall cunningham i i did a pump fake to make the guy miss that was a bootleg he just didn't have anything open a bootleg is where the quarterback fakes a run and then puts the ball on his hip and runs the other way that was a quick bootleg but watch his pump fake on kevin green he got him to to just to get away enough so he can step out of bounds third and five 49ers on the ram 11 yard montana in the direction of rice incomplete i think one day you have to give this 49er offensive line a lot of credit for their past protection today because montana has been able to have the ball up there bring it down and get it up again a number of times and this group has done an excellent job of pass protection he's in 21 out of 25 hoper with helen holding from 28 yards away that's good the 49ers move further in front 7 44 left third quarters 24-3 now what makes me look so successful this watch where it's absolutely worthless in a business situation when i leave the room it leaves a room my brochure stays behind think about it at 9 00 pm how much does it cost to be a proud mother with mci prime time this 25-minute call chicago to st louis cost 26 percent less than

something hit his ribs because watch he starts to get up and celebrate and then boom he feels it right there and goes back down but he did get up and walk off the field [Applause] yeah there's a couple areas on this 49er defense really don't get a lot of credit for what they do one is their defense and it seems like you know it's all offense but these guys here do an excellent job an excellent job at tackling covering playing the run the pass and when the 49ers do well they play good defense on first down here's everest picked off by ronnie brought locke to the ram 36. greg bell made the stop for the ram holahan was the intended receiver ronnie lott said he was going to just play pass in this game watch watching 42. he's watching feet all ahead all the way overhand is coming in in the post everett's trying to throw him out there ronnie lott gets the read and the jump in the ball let's run this is how you play free safety this is how you read a pass pattern this is how you read a quarterback this is how you intercept the ball that's his third interception third interception of the day washington and wheelchair on the stop for those of you expecting to see 60 minutes i'm pat summerhall along with john madden and we welcome you to candlestick park in san francisco on cbs sports coverage of the nfc championship game where the 49ers lead the rams 24-3 60 minutes will be seen in its entirety following the nfl today post-game show except in the pacific and mountain time zones where it'll be seen at its regular time second down and about a yard spray again iran scored first field goal by lansford of 23 yards and then it's been all 49ers since then montana to jones they led seventh grade craig a one-yard run they led 14-3 it was montana to taylor from 18 yards just before the half 21-3 and then a 28-yard field goal by cofer makes it as it is now in the afc championship game today in denver the broncos beat slenderman 37-21 looks like it will be denver and san francisco caught it i wonder if they're going to say that roger craig was in the grass larry kelm adam they really don't have a rule for a running back being in the grass it can't be in the grass it has to be the whistle blue before he threw it that was a run pass they're going to hand it to craig and he is going to throw the raspberry i watch if he starts out here like a sweet he's looking for 44 tom rathman he pumps he brings it down now they're going to say that he was in the grass but he threw the ball there is no in the crashed rule what that happened 33 was ruled down in this spot there's no following [Music] did he blow the whistle the whistle ends the play that's how you would rule it down i don't know that i heard a whistle or not i don't think i did and neither knee was down no they don't have a any rule for in the grasp of a of a running back and again the only thing that would stop that play would be the whistle they're back at the 31 montana down to about the 26 yard line stripped up by kevin green thompson tom rathman's getting to be more and more part of this offense they have a deal used to be the rathman would always block him for craig of course they're both from nebraska and then in practice roger craig would carry tom rathman off the field piggy bank he piggyback he would give him rides off the field and i think now ratsman's starting to get the ball more and more so i don't know that craig has to do that anymore huskers for the cornhuskers on his helmet third down who slipped down and went down in the grass for fred strickland pick up a four but sherman trying to come up with anything to stop this avalanche henderson he was the player that was injured on that special teams tackle like he made a hit and then went down when he started to react whatever it was didn't hit him until after a couple seconds all the 49er coaches say that they think he's going to be a great player he's a heck of a receiver coming out of the backfield 38 yards away over with plenty of distance no good so with four minutes three seconds remaining in the third quarter it's still the 49ers 24 the rams three all week long mike ryan is a buttoned up by the numbers straight ahead type of guy but on the weekend mike likes to get into his quad 4 chevy beretta gtz find a twisty road and put it all behind him nobody's winning like the heartbeat of america i'll always remember that sunday night he was gonna be on ed sullivan his side burns and the way he moved made us weak in we were the knees to even know what that meant we sat impatiently through the circus dogs and the talking mouse oh no must be a blackout so dad took us on the first of what would become many many family outings to mcdonald's just the side of those burgers made us momentarily forget our earlier disappointment now isn't this better than all what's his name [Music] we may have missed a part of rock and roll history but somehow we didn't mind just then it'll always be our years later we found out there was no blackout daddy pulled the plug mcdonald a triple header thriller seen all pittsburgh oklahoma arizona notre dame lsu what a saturday next weekend the 49ers 24 the rams 3 the owner of the rams georgia frontieri they have not been able to get anything going today that 49er defense led by ronnie lott have had a heck of a lot to say about that too they have these guys have been putting the the blanket on and you start the thing here it starts with pressure there's pierce hole 78 he's starting to the inside taking on two or three blockers and then you bring coogler your nose tackle to the outside and they just keep working to get to everett this time of possession 49ers have had the ball 26 minutes just 15. everett battles again well the story of the game has been as john madden was talking about the 49er defense and the two quarterbacks comparison as another little freakish breaks out and a frustrating day for jim albert fantastic day for joe montana see ronnie lott was in here talking to pete holland ronnie lott and pete olahan has been playing against each other for so many years holy hand of course from notre dame ufc national football [Applause] when there was no bullets haley and roberts were close loss of six i don't know that i've ever seen a quarterback get knocked down when there was no contact i mean he's there there may be someone you should not feel that i don't care in this game you got to keep that head up and keep working to find it or run it you should not feel a guy behind it back standing on his own goal line and john taylor at midfield the 49ers [Applause] 49ers will take over almost remain third quarter the product the proving grounds the results stp gas treatment is the edge for a bear of a thirst i reach for it first i can drink a lot more and it settles the score four fingers number seven diet coke has real cola taste and just one calorie so for the 49ers it's the best of the [Music] lot [Music] well nobody is a chevy civil life society any group in labs can result in a mortified station but with rank guards for stick one gets maximum protection [Music] well off to the foxes right guards for stick anything less to be uncivilized 24-3 the 49ers lead the ram and the nfc championship game the winner to advance to the super bowl in two weeks notice that bubba that those those sevens are getting smaller on his jersey phil walsh was always on pub about his weight now they just decided to leave him alone wrapped him up i'll tell you there is a tackle though there's a guy that you know could be in his his real last chance of getting to a super bowl again jackie slater a 14-year veteran one of the top offensive linemen not only in the game today but that's ever played the game second down and four 49ers at the ram 45 leading already 24-3 that's roger curtis first down san francisco now there's a beer to brought to what's a and pierce hole are practicing during the game bert is coaching hulk how to make a spin move now if there's anything if a coach saw that they'd go nuts as the defense bert is followed up hold you shouldn't do that you don't want your guys to spin poor old pierce hold anyway he's blind in his left eye and now jim burt has him spinning oh man i'll tell you john marshall's to go nuts when he hears about that here's craig again bryce got a good look in front of him and craig goes down inside the 30. stopped again by kell warrior he's running right out of those socks they're getting lower and lower harris barton number 79 he's a right tackle he pulls and gets in front of him he just gets a little bump out here at the end but there's no rams until he gets there and they didn't need much blocking they have they they have beaten this ram defense down talk about intensity you see those eyes inside the ram 25 stopped again by kelm and an assist to sean miller picked up three you know it's funny how you you work as an offense and you keep working to wear them down wear them now wearing that then when you get them the way the 49ers have the rams defense tonight now you get them in this position i'll tell you it's really fun to play well you can't can't forget that the rams had to do all that traveling they had to play an extra game they had to go back to the east coast three times and it has to take its toll i think it finally caught up with them today i think part of that is part of the 49ers being almost perfect stop by stewart and washington and ratmon is a load six yard gain everyone knows that you don't have to wait to see the film you know the respect that players have for each other when linemen see a fact like rathman work like he works and take on tackles like that they they respect that that makes him one of them brings up third and two from the 19. what would probably be the last play of the third quarter might have gotten it that is the end of the third quarter with the score the 49ers 24 the rams threes we now pause for a word from your local station this is cbs breakfast if a restaurant gave you the kind of service you get on many airlines you'd never go back i've got a baby cheese i don't like breakfast i'd

even though the fears we charge are just as low as anyone's the fear we serve is always a cut above [Music] you know there's no need to chase around with your checking account here cd there home loan somewhere else round up your financial affairs and settle in a great western you see the great western family has over 100 years of experience and more than 35 billion dollars in assets so you can feel real safe news there's no snow in our forecast today mercedes-benz introduces 4matic outwitting the weather and the road with the most advanced all-wheel drive system ever put in a car formatic it may just obsolete other all-wheel drive systems not to mention weather forecasts the 49ers post game report today after the game the goodyear blimp columbia from carson california piloted today by john creighton goodyear has built over 300 blimps since 1929. looking down at candlestick park sold out as you would expect cofer to try a field goal from 35 yards out just beginning the fourth quarter this man's team just hasn't had the ball much and i'll tell you that man no he'll coach it right down to the end there's not a heck of a lot of coaching you can do when you have things like this happen to you but but he's going to coach this fourth quarter like he's never coached any other fourth quarter in his life rams have always had tremendous success here at candlestick park robertson said maybe because i grew up only five miles from here but today hasn't been one of his days but when he grew up when we grew up in daly city which is as you say just a short way from here there was no here here here was a bay or something we didn't we had seal stadium in keys our stadium but there was no there was no candlestick when he grew up 49ers of course played at kizar before they came here there's one of those guys that has done an outstanding job in there and that offensive line of blocking this ram defense when you see a defense and they have a lot of mud and dirt on their backs they've had a bad day well there's your evidence a a defense should have clean backs after a game [Applause] where the rams will take over after that 27-yard return stop by hendrickson you know one of the things that eddie debartolo did so well was when this team needed players he brought in a matt millen who was a guy who has been there who had been to a couple super bowl with the raiders he brought in a jim burke high salary guys who have been to super bowl but they were able to play and bring in intensity and not have a level drop on the defense outside the 40 to about the 43 stopped by daryl pollard six yard gain i think when you're down 27-3 it's time for that no huddle offense get into your two minutes with 14 minutes to go green pass mcgee he will not get the first down the first man there was matt millen matt millen is a guy that that studies this game but he loves to play it when he's again it's been around enough 10 years in the league and still plays him like a little kid 32. everett the holy hand have to have good hands as houlihan does to make that catch yeah the interesting thing when joe montana was the starting quarterback at notre dame the 11th spring quarterback was pete holland mcgee was the intended receiver kevin fagan put the pressure finally on everett i'll tell you they knocked that confidence right out average today didn't they he started off the game and of course you know it's it's a lot to do with their defense they just didn't get anyone open and he's been getting rushed he's been getting knocked down and that time he had good pass protections and there was the coverage was too good one of the big plays early was when clipper anderson was open on that fake reverse and ronnie lott came out of nowhere to knock it down i think after that the rams started downhill and haven't stopped everett for anderson again nothing there let's pierce hold out here that he's rushing against jackie slater now that's a real matchup and he gets that rip and he gets that arm and he goes to the outside and comes back inside i'll tell you one thing i'm glad he didn't spin like jim burt was trying to teach him to but see he has to wear that mask in his over his eyes because he's blind in the left eye and he had to sign a waiver when he first signed with a 49er against that right eye he has quite a story pat it down daniel stubbs got the hand on it and the crowd stands for the defense and juventus john taylor back deep at the 15-yard line for the 49ers 13 minutes 13 seconds left to play in the 49ers up 27-3 [Music] [Laughter] [Music] toyota's 1990 4x4 park it anywhere [Music] miller genuine draft i was hoping you'd say that cold filtered never he pasteurized village genuine draft for those who discovered his real giraffe taste the world is a very cool place in civilized society any group in labs can result in a modified loss of state but with right guards for stick one gets maximum protection [Music] well off to the foxes right guards poor stick anything less could be uncivilized cbs sports coverage of today's national football conference championship game is sponsored by miller genuine trap cold filtered for real craft taste so tap into the cold the u.s army where you get an edge on light be all you can be and by toyota's quality line of cars and trucks toyota i love what you do for me [Music] the nfc championship game at candlestick park look at alfred jackson pat number 31 he's the cover guy and when you're getting beaten you get beat on every level in every way even your photographers perhaps a yard sean miller made the stop [Music] and that defense has gotten pushed around there today by this 49er offense in this 49er offensive line this isn't one of the plays that is good ram defense there but the 49er offense in the first three quarters of beating the ram defense about every way you can brings up second and nine montana is going to go to wrath now there's an out now jim burt is talking to john marshall the defensive line coach i think marshall's trying to get out of the way burke will talk to anyone and coach anyone and do anything during a game and he's one of those guys that is hard to get away from he's go you'll go find someone else he's always looking for someone to expound to brings up a third and four of the 49ers at the 25. and in control of things 27 to 3. cracked down by james washington four or five shootings now i was just saying jerry rice lost 15 pounds this year and i thought that was impossible i looked at him last year and didn't think there was any place that he could lose 15. he was already skinny yeah and and he he feels that that that loss of 15 pounds hasn't really made him faster but it's made him quicker being able to avoid defenders better maybe made him a better runner after he catches it first down 49ers this is what it's like for a nose tackle in there you get hit by the center who's big and strong himself justice apollo and then and then you get help you start off with a double team that's the way things start and it doesn't get any better or alvin wright never got off the line of scrimmage a lot of yelling going on montana look left goes yes sir rule the cat now there aren't many quarterbacks that could ever do that i don't care where you go back joe montana went back looked to the left he was going to throw to the left before this then went from the outside to the left came all the way back and found jerry rice way over on the outside of the right that is using the whole width of the field bryce did a heck of a job to get his feet down inbound another first down for the 49ers rice has caught six passes now hammers into ram territory knocked down by kiln hey roger roger craig is a real warrior just watch this the way he gets the ball now he sees his two pulling linemen and his and his full back wrap and that's like having three guards out in front now you read those three get in behind them and now get right there and make your split between them and finish off your run number one at reading cutting and finishing off better than roger craig he's to the ram 35 before michael stewart brings him down a gain of 13 yards he is great both have had good days bunch matt millen this is a defensive guy defensive guys love it when offensive guys control the ball by running it especially when it's a guy like tom rathman who looks like one of them robinson's still coaching i told you what he still coaches telling you guys to use your hands and get rid of those blockers 12-yard gain that's the 49ers 28th first down which is a record in post-season play there is flagler's been somewhat frustrated because he wants to play more and he's a good player he was the number one draft choice but how can you play more when you have roger craig and tom rathman who do you take out there with terence flagler first down 49ers at the ram 23. rathbun and flagler now the two runners this is you get your eight-man front the way you get an eight-man front is by putting your safety up there so you have your seven front guys plus your safety and that's what michael stewart is that's like giving you another linebacker and when you can't stop the run you bring your safety up there now you got eight now they can't run anymore second down and about 14. 49ers at the ram 27. already lead 27-3 and now there are just eight minutes left to play about the 14 against not by stuart you know it's getting to be a big thing pat in his footballs now now they have the screens at the stadium so now the players are starting to watch the replay on the screen bratman down after that last play a gain of 12. there was something that easy the lead guy here and they're sneaking him out and he becomes a pass receiver here and if something happens right at the end of the run after he catches the ball i don't think it's that first hit there i think it's when his head hit the ground he takes a whack but watch when his head hits the turf and he landed on top of the ball also [Music] foreign [Music] in 13 cities in 10 countries across the pacific they're playing our song united airlines royal pacific service rededicated to giving you the service you deserve halfway around the world come fly the friendly skies [Music] for 1990 space luxury and v6 power where you go is your concern getting you back what [Music] it doesn't get any better than this that's tom rasman who got the win knocked out of him it appears on that play the last play and now seems okay but he took up a lot of turf that's the shot of a football player flagler cuts inside one block has got a first down inside the 10. joe montana is going up to break up a fight i can't believe it they're starting to fight between two linemen and montana runs up there to get in the middle of it a lot of people don't even think montana should be in the game now 27-3 although i believe you should i believe you have a game it's a championship game there's only one way to play you don't worry about getting guys hurt you go out and play it and you finish it off montana has had some day 26 out of 30 262 yards two touchdowns doesn't get much better first i think once you're going to the super bowl and you know that you want to play once you've worked hard all day to get the other team in this position you want to be in there you want to stay in there you got two weeks between now and the super bowl and football to great players is always fun but when you get in this situation i'll guarantee it's the most fun it's the nfc championship game with the 49ers the super bowl champions trying to repeat [Music] [Applause] they set a new attendance record here today here at candlestick 64 769. the winner to play denver person i don't know that this isn't one of the best 49er two i don't know as i watch this team this 49er team and what they've done today to the rams what they did last week for the minnesota vikings i don't know that this isn't one of the best teams ever i agree with you they've got so many weapons flagler take it down behind the line the field goal unit for the 49ers heads on the field 27-3 they leave here's a guy who's done an amazing amazing job and you talk about guys that are going to coach until the game's over you have that type of coach on both sides george seifert and john robinson they go way back george seifert is from this area george seifert is a local guy went to high school here george seifert and john robinson coached together at the university of oregon kick is good but i think the rams were outside it would still be fourth down you see it's against the rams i'm sure that court coach george seifert isn't going to take the points off the board at this point joe montez going to ask you want the field goal or not i'm sure george seifert will take the field goal did you say they couldn't get a first down anyway offside defense left side of the line penalty is declined field goal is good time out and so with five minutes and 38 seconds left to play 49ers lead it now 30-degree working to be the best they can be teammates sponsored by the u.s army joe montana and jerry rice turned super bowl 23 into their personal aerial ballet like no players before or perhaps ever again rice in montana teamed to turn the tide of one of the closest super bowls ever played when time ticked off the clock the record book showed that joe and jerry combined for 11 completions 215 yards in victory together they made each other the best they could be i'm 30 miles from the action but i'm responsible for a digital communication link between headquarters and brigade everything 5.1 if the data isn't programmed right 5 000 troops could be cut off but i've never [Music] he's got a clean home a wicked basketball and a shot at a ton of cash john schneider is teaming up with paul rodriguez i'm not gonna give it away i'm not gonna split it with nobody do you understand me whether he likes it or not one of us has to go you do grand slam premieres right after the super bowl a lawman and a con man forced together to stop a murderer how to blow your head off willie nelson and chris christopherson pair of aces tonight nfc championship looks like it's going to belong again to the san francisco 49ers right there there's eddie d bartlow he's the man in the circle right now and i'll tell you he's he's the guy that after they've won a super bowl by taking care of his guys by getting them signed by not being afraid to go out and get a matt millen a jim burke gerard to a lot of money with two broken legs doing those types of things he helped get this team back to where they are this will be del pino from the four yard line what a job he's done in his first year well you know he'll be what the third first year coach to ever go to a super bowl only one time as a first year coach won a super bowl it was don mccafferty when he was when he was at baltimore oh look at this winning his first year coaches the only thing is seaford's going to a super bowl red miller went to a super bowl second guy flag on the play ellard's pass from everett brooks brought him down flag on the play super bowl coaches in their first year don mccabe interference 84 offense first down when they beat the dallas cowboys on the field goal by tim o'brien and then red miller went uh of course that was when denver uh as a coach of denver and they lost to dallas there's some happy guy i mean you see that roger craig down here in rathman they look like two guys who really went through a good old-fashioned football game you know not one of these things they play in domes or in the sushi bars but i mean real real old-fashioned hitting and stuff yeah first in twenty mcgee was the attended receiver he was put on by larry roberts we were talking to jackie slater last night about larry roberts and he said he's put on like 20 or 25 pounds of all muscle he said that's all muscle and he's gotten to be a lot stronger guy and a lot a better power rusher i don't know that that's about that i don't know if i buy that entirely colahan after a gate of four paid the price hit by mackayer [Music] there's jerry rice it looks like that that eye's okay that was giving him problems early the happy face i know that third down brooks back maybe the most improved guy in the team is jeff brooks he's a guy like having another linebacker out there he loves to hit i think chet brooks is going to be in the all magic team this guy there was last year wallace was on the all magic team a year ago i think one of the rules that a lot of people don't understand about the old mapping team is that you have to have seen them during the course of the year almost blocked maybe deflected look at chet brooks is here he's talking about jeff fuller he wears jeff fuller's name honestly jeff fuller was the guy that he replaced there was a strong safety back to the all madden team when is it going to be announced well the thing is it's going to be announced that you wait but see we we scratched out this last week now we got to get rid of this it's just the 6-1 you know it shouldn't be annual we don't know what just 6-1 next sunday right here we ought to have all that stuff all that data we put in the computer ought to be regurgitated we'll be in new orleans new quarterback for a

minutes left to play they lead 30 to three [Applause] you know it was interesting we did a a thing on the 49ers early and i remember ronnie lott saying at that time that what we would like to do is get back to the super bowl again and we'd like to approach this year like the los angeles lakers i think it was interesting seeing magic johnson walk off the field when he didn't say like the pittsburgh steelers or the miami dolphins he said we would like to be the lakers of the nfl you know say you're going to win it again say you're going don't be afraid to say it here's jamie williams

two-minute warning in the ufc championship game at candlestick for the 49ers ahead 30 degrees [Music] at gillette we never forget that the business we're really in is understanding men knowing what it

it in two weeks leroy irwin will let the ball bounce in front of him and the rams have one more chance perhaps with a minute and 51 seconds remaining they'll take over there i think the rams just finally ran out of gas they did and they and they were they were valiant i mean they did it they did it the tough way they went batten beat new england and they went back and they beat the philadelphia eagles in philadelphia and they beat the giants in new york in an overtime game and then at some point you just don't have that much gas in your tank but the other thing is they ran into a team with red jerseys that could be one of the all-time great teams cleveland gary loses the handle and the ball belongs to the rams well he hit the official there number 103. he ran into him this is frustration now it was duvall love number 67 he was just going to get someone see cleveland gary though ran into the umpire what's the um player back there in the black hat right there he's trying to get out of the way it looked like the umpire knocked the ball out of gary's hands henry ellard made the recovery oh oh seaford's getting the old trick no he doesn't know what he won't he's don't forget to stick with us for the post game show interviews in both locker rooms and they're going to interview a wet winning coach dan reeves will be live from denver all the nfc championship trophy

can't beat it [Applause] intended for ellard incomplete 30 to 3 49ers block stop with 23 seconds remaining you know it's more fun and rolling into mudpad is sliding in it like if you can get a good run and dive and slide that's more fun hey it hasn't been a fun day for jim everett you know we talked about streaks and getting him sync and he just never got in sync and got one of those streaks going [Applause] punch sails out of bounds the 49ers have 18 seconds here it is isn't that something though the only team the 49ers have not defeated in the 1980s for the denver broncos that's the least of the 49ers worries right now first thing i'm going back to a super bowl and the super bowl he went to is of course as a member of the giants they beat them george seifert he's not watching the end of this game he's going and starting a celebration that will do it for the 49ers so the final score is the san francisco 49ers 30. the rams 3. stay tuned next for the nfl today post game show

nfl today post-game show is sponsored by miller lite america's favorite light beer brings you the miller life all-star super bowl game [Music] [Applause] another classic performance by the san francisco 49ers and they head back to the super bowl welcome everybody i'm brent mussberger we should pass along some basic information first of all the super bowl in two weeks down in new orleans and the san francisco 49ers have been established according to danny sheridan who will have the story of the usa tomorrow as a 10 point favorite over the denver broncos and why not i guess let's bring in mike ditka and dick butkus now and mike i'll tell you this was an old-fashioned beating that the 49ers handed out here today you know we said earlier brent that they were the best team in football and i think they truly proved that today again it's very easy to give all the praise to the offense and their offense played an outstanding game but the defense is what made it all happen early in the game when they kept the rams out of the end zone made them settle for three and then they they just took the football game away from them after that but i'll tell you what as far as the 10-point spread is concerned the broncos are gonna dig darn well dan's going to have them ready to play were you surprised at how the rams sort of came up flat here this afternoon well you know we talked earlier about stopping the running game and not allow montana to maintain possession because he's so skilled at finding people open and that's what they they just kept on running to their left uh graham's right side and i think mike was mentioning her earlier that the outside receiver would come down and seal off and they wanted irwin to make the tackles and he wasn't doing it well you know mike you said earlier that the guy who was gonna set the tone was ronnie a lot and he had another sensational big game for him well i think really i think he's the best safety i've ever seen brent i said that and i like the way he played he seems to get everybody up to play football and that's what this game is all about if you can't play this game of motion don't show up all right we're going to be right back and more of our post game show we're going to go inside the winner's locker room and we'll continue live in just a moment [Music] you know when you got it right you got it right whether you're talking about [Music] this or whether you're talking about the one and only diet cola that does it for ray died pepsi you know nothing tastes as good to me as diet pepsi hmm all right now who's the wise guy now that's the right one baby so i'm running late i had to call phoenix so i'm using this other long distance company i dial the wrong number you got this guy what is this phoenix no you raised fiji i dial again again what if you call the operator for credit she said i'd have to talk to customer billing i said at t operators gave me instant credit she said you are not dealing with a t

be yes it is a legendary wild willy wet wow will they win my brother the greatest man to ever play the game with wild willie will they win the case of bitter light and go to the super bowl just give me the ball so the san francisco 49ers head to their fourth super bowl since 1981 with another classic performance here and joe montana now has gone two years and five playoff games without throwing a single interception let's go inside the winner's locker room and here's her across sir nothing but smiles here and you can imagine why but let's get the business out of the way first to present the

everybody of course talks about back-to-back super bowls you know the pittsburgh steelers did it in 79 and 80 yeah your hopes i guess is to do it again our hopes are just to play the type of game we can play irv and these guys are capable of a lot of good things i'm just really proud of the team i know you're hardly a superstitious did you have any kind of good luck charms hanging around here today george he was the best luck charm i could have and the team thank you thank you thank coach coach to step in here and uh congratulations to you thank you very much head coach winning your first conference championship on your way to the super bowl i'll go ahead well we do we've got an excellent football team they played their hearts out against a very very fine ram team and we're just prouder than heck of our players and we're looking forward to the next ball game well coach you know you're the first head coach of the san francisco 49ers is a san francisco native uh does winning here mean a little bit more to you perhaps in some other places i don't know if it means anymore but it certainly is sweet there's no question about it i'm sure it means a great deal to these players and to the rest of the coaches in our organization i'm just proud to be part of it well again the big question back-to-back uh repeats in the super bowl uh you had a lot of changes on the staff here
