Super Bowl XXIII was played on January 22, 1989 at Joe Robbie Stadium in Miami, Florida pitting the NFC Champion San Francisco 49ers vs. the AFC Champion Cincinnati Bengals. This was the first Super Bowl hosted in the Miami area in 10 years, and the first in Miami not held at the Orange Bowl.

The game is remembered for the 49ers' fourth-quarter game-winning drive.

They then scored the winning touchdown on a Joe Montana pass to John Taylor with just 34 seconds left in the game.
