The 1985 Super Bowl was one of the great Super Bowls that featured two of the greatest players of all time. The teams involved in the game were the Miami Dolphins and the San Francisco 49ers. These teams were led by two of the best quarterbacks that the NFL has ever seen. The Dolphins were led by Dan Marino and the 49ers were led by Joe Montana.

The game was played in Stanford Stadium in Palo Alto, California. This meant that the 49ers would have somewhat of a home field advantage in the game as they were playing within their home state. The 49ers were the 3.5 point favorites entering into the game.

The Dolphins started things off the right way as they managed to jump ahead for a 3 point lead early in the game. Uwe von Schamann booted in a 37 yard field goal to give Miami the 3 point advantage.

The 49ers responded as Joe Montana orchestrated a touchdown drive. The drive was finished with a 33 yard touchdown pass from Montana to Carl Monroe. The score put the 49ers ahead 7-3 in the game.

The Dolphins were still hanging tough as Dan Marino responded to the touchdown from the 49ers. Marino threw a ...
... 2 yard touchdown pass to Dan Johnson to give the Dolphins the 10-7 lead at the end of the 1st quarter of play.

While the Dolphins were ahead after the 2nd quarter, they were doomed for defeat. The Dolphins did manage to score twice more over the course of the game, but the touchdown that they scored in the 1st quarter was the only touchdown that they would manage to put on the board during this Super Bowl.

The 49ers responded as Roger Craig and Joe Montana took over the rest of the game. Montana and Craig managed to hook up for 2 touchdowns over the course of the 2nd and 3rd quarters. The first touchdown was an 8 yard pass and the 2nd was a 16 yard pass.

Both of these players also managed to run the ball into the end zone. Montana had the first rushing touchdown of the game for the 49ers as he scrambled 6 yards for the score. Roger Craig also found his way into the end zone from 2 yards out. The only other score for the 49ers came on a 27 yard field goal from Ray Wersching in the 3rd quarter.

At the end of the 3rd quarter the score of the game was 38-16. There were no more points scored for the remainder of the game and the 49ers were Super Bowl Champions as they defeated the Dolphins in dominating fashion.

Joe Montana was named the MVP of the game. He threw for 3 touchdowns and ran in another touchdown to lead the way for the San Francisco 49ers. With this Super Bowl victory Joe Montana was on his way to becoming a player that is widely considered to be one of the greatest players to ever play the game.
