| | Super Bowl XXIV |
 | | It was, ultimately, the greatest mismatch in Super Bowl history, but it also was a stage on which the 49ers could demonstrate how stunning they truly were. |
 | | It also was their fourth Super Bowl title in nine years, and only the Steelers had won that many. |
 | | And every beating was worse than the one before: a 27-10 loss to Dallas in Super Bowl XII, a 39-20 loss to the New York Giants in Super Bowl XXI, a 42-10 loss to Washington in Super Bowl XXII and, finally, this 45-point trouncing. |
