Super Bowl XIX was an American football game played on January 20, 1985 at Stanford Stadium,on the campus of Stanford University in Stanford, California,[2] to decide the National Football League (NFL) champion following the 1984 regular season. The National Football Conference (NFC) champion San Francisco 49ers (18-1) defeated the American Football Conference (AFC) champion Miami Dolphins (16-3), 38–16,[3] to win their second Super Bowl.
The game had been hyped as the battle between two great quarterbacks, Miami's Dan Marino and San Francisco's Joe Montana
- and indeed this was the first Super Bowl ever in which the starting
quarterbacks of each team both threw for over 300 yards. In addition,
the two teams combined total of 851 offensive yards was a Super Bowl
record (later broken in Super Bowl XXII & Super Bowl XXXVIII).
But the 49ers would end up taking the game in dominating fashion. It
would be Marino's only trip to the Super Bowl during his 17 year career.
Montana, who was named the Super Bowl MVP,
completed 24 of 35 passes for a Super Bowl record 331 yards and three
touchdowns. He also had 5 rushes for 59 yards and 1 rushing touchdown.
His 59 rushing yards were the most rushing yards ever gained by a
quarterback in the Super Bowl at that time.
This Super Bowl was unique in that it fell on the same day that Ronald Reagan was inaugurated for a second term as President of the United States. Because January 20 fell on a Sunday, Reagan was sworn in privately and the public ceremony took place the following day.
It was one of the most watched games in history with an estimated 115.9 million viewers. This game also was the first time television commercials ran for a million dollars a minute. I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY US FANS DO. THE FRAME OF THE SERIGRAPH IS THE ORIGINAL FRAME. IT IS NOT IN VERY GOOD CONDITION BUT THE SERIGRAPH ITSELF IS PERFECT WITH NO FOXING. I WOULD LIKE BE SENDING THE
PICTURE WITH THE ORIGINAL MATTING SHIPPED GROUND IN A FLAT BOX. NO FRAME THE NEW OWNER CAN FRAME IT TO THEIR DECOR AND TO THEIR LIKING.
THANK-YOU FOR LOOKING AND PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS VALUABLE PIECE OF ART. QUESTIONS? ALWAYS, PLEASE ASK...
