Round 1: '91-SF 42, '89-WAS 14

Both of these teams offerings were two years removed from being Super Bowl Champions. After the game was completed Washington's coach, Jay Schneider was left wondering how San Fran didn't win it all let alone not make the playoffs that year. For the better part of the first quarter and a half the teams were evenly match and so was the score. Then the floodgates opened and the 49ers went on a tear that destroyed the Redskins.


Steve Young threw an INT early on to keep the score close. Once he found his stride, and Jerry Rice the floodgates seemed to open up. Neither team ran the ball much. Mark Rypien kept it close early on as he tossed two TD's to the "fun bunch". Rice caught 4 of Young's 5 TD passes. Steve Bono was called on late to relieve Mr. Young as the game was out of reach.
