No. 6: Steve Young & Jerry Rice Dominate Super Bowl XXIX

Super Bowl XXIX marked the fifth, and most recent, Super Bowl the 49ers earned during their storied history. And it came on a 49-26 blowout of the AFC champion San Diego Chargers.

But the game is largely remembered for the contributions from quarterback Steve Young and wide receiver Jerry Rice. Rice was already en route to cementing his legacy as a Hall of Famer, but the game provided the opportunity for Young to finally step out of the shadows of quarterback Joe Montana.

San Francisco scored on its opening drive — a 44-yard pass from Young to Rice which was, at the time, the quickest touchdown scored in Super Bowl history.

Young would go on to pass for six touchdowns during the contest, which remains a Super Bowl record to this day.

Rice hauled in three of those touchdowns passes and amassed 149 yards in the process.

The 49ers quarterback would be named Super Bowl MVP and would forever cement his own legacy in NFL lore.
