Super
Bowl XXIV was an American football game played on January 28, 1990
at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana to decide the
National Football League (NFL) champion following the 1989 regular
season. The National Football Conference (NFC) champion San
Francisco 49ers (17–2) won their fourth Super Bowl by
defeating the American Football Conference (AFC) champion Denver
Broncos (13–6), 55–10. It remains the most lopsided
game in Super Bowl history to date. The 49ers' 55 points were the
most ever scored by one team, and their 45-point margin of victory
was the largest ever. The 49ers are the only team in a Super Bowl
to score at least two touchdowns in each quarter. Their 2nd of 8
touchdowns ended with a missed extra point however. They are also
the only team to score 8 touchdowns in a Super
Bowl.
This
marked the first time in 10 years that a team won back-to-back
Super Bowls, the last time being when the Pittsburgh Steelers won
Super Bowls XIII and XIV following the 1978 and 1979 seasons. The
Broncos became the second team to lose three Super Bowls in four
years after losing Super Bowls XXI and XXII, both by considerable
margins as well. The Vikings also lost three Super Bowls in four
years (VIII, IX and XI). The Buffalo Bills are the only team to
lose four Super Bowls in four years.
