1988 NFL
In 1988 the Cardinals relocated from St. Louis, Missouri to the Phoenix, Arizona area becoming the Phoenix Cardinals but remained in the NFC East division. Division winners in the AFC were Buffalo in the East, Cincinnati in the Central, and Seattle in the West, with the Wild-Cards going to Cleveland and Houston. In the NFC, it was Philadelphia in the East, Chicago in the Central, and San Francisco in the West, with the Wild-Cards going to Minnesota and Los Angeles. In the Wild-Card games, the Oilers won a thriller in Cleveland, and hung on for a 24-23 win over the Browns in the AFC game. Meanwhile, in the NFC, the Vikings cruised to a 28-17 victory over the Rams. In the AFC Divisional Playoffs, the Bills would take care of the Oilers 17-10, while the Bengals beat the Seahawks 21-13. In the NFC, the 49ers rolled over the Vikings 34-9, and the Bears took care of the Eagles 20-12. In the conference championship games, a stingy Bengal defense shut down the Bills in the AFC with a 21-10 win, while the 49ers had no trouble with the Bears 28-3, setting up the match-ups for Super Bowl XXIII. The 49ers defeated the Bengals by the score of 20–16, winning their third Super Bowl. The game was played on January 22, 1989 at Joe Robbie Stadium in Miami, Florida, 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 best remembered for the 49ers' fourth-quarter game-winning drive.  Down 16–13, San Francisco got the ball on their own eight-yard line with 3:10 on the clock and marched 92 yards down the field in under three minutes. They then scored the winning touchdown on a Joe Montana pass to John Taylor with just 34 seconds left in the game. The game was tight throughout. The teams combined for 5 field goals, and battled to a 3–3 score by the end of the second quarter, the first halftime tie in Super Bowl history. Cincinnati's only touchdown, a 93-yard kickoff return by Stanford Jennings in the third quarter, was quickly answered by a four-play, 85-yard drive that ended with San Francisco wide receiver Jerry Rice's 14-yard touchdown reception. Rice, who was named the Super Bowl MVP, caught 11 passes for a Super Bowl record 215 yards and a touchdown, while also rushing once for 5 yards.
