Dolphins
Loss tough
By Astociated Prow
STANFORD, Calif. ? Miami's
Bob Baumhower paused a moment
and then reflected on the road to Super
Bowl XIX.
He recalled all the hard work, the
thrill of going 16-2 to reach Sunday's
National Football League's championship
game, and the disappointment of
losing.
"It's tough. It's the last game of the
year and very hard to swallow," the
265-pound nose tackle said after the
San Francisco 49ers whipped the
Dolphins 38-16 in Stanford Stadium.
THE LOSS was the Dolphins' second
in three vcars in the Super Bowl
and Coach Don Shula's fourth in a
record six appearances.
"It's a sad thing for a team to end
the season this way," Shula said.
"When we get home, we'll look at
areas where we need to improve. We're
a young team that's going to get
better."
Quarterback Dan Marino also looked
ahead.
"I hope we get another chance. You
don't get here often," he said.
"Emotionally, we had a great year
as a team overall, but this kind of takes
away from it," Marino added. "It's a
shame we can't be the world champs
because we did play well."
"IT'S HARD to describe what I'm
feeling ... I don't think a physical injury
could hurt as much," guard Roy
Foster said.
"Everybody wants to be No.l and
this time it's them. We're going to
have to put this on the back burner,
come back and try to be No.l next
year."

The 49ers, capping an 18-1 campaign
with their second Super Bowl title
in four seasons, outplayed Miami
offensively, defensively and on special
teams.
San Francisco amassed 537 total
yards against the Dolphins' Killer B's
defense and held Marino, who averaged
three touchdown passes a game during
the regular season, to only one TD
pass.
Miami used a no-huddle offense
during its only touchdown drive of the
day, a 70-yard march that gave the
Dolphins a 10-7 lead late in the first
quarter.
BUT THE 49ers then shifted to a

defensive backs and eventually forced
the Dolphins out of their game plan.
San Francisco's defense took away
the Dolphins' deep passing game,
holding the Marks Brothers ? Clayton
and Duper ? to seven catches between
them.
"I felt wc^were doing good things,
but we just did not execute the right
way," Duper said. "Give them all the
credit in the world. They won."
The Dolphins, who got Held goals of
37, 31 and 30 yards from Uwe Von
Schamanw, trailed 38-16 at halftime.
"OFFENSIVELY, IT was our
poorest game of the year. We didn't
ir.aks things happen," Shula said, also
pointing out that punter Reggie Roby
was not up to par.
Roby, whose high, long punts
frustrated returneis all season, had a
disastrous stretch in the second quarter
when the 49ers took charge. Three
times his low kicks beat his coverage

Keys to 49ers' win

f
By Awociaf d Pre?? ~ i_
STANFORD, Calif. For the San Francisco 49ers, the key
play in the Super Bowl was the broken play. I
It was Joe Montana creating something from nothing, scanning
the field for a receiver, finding none free and taking off
on a dash of his own into wide-open spaces. .
It was running backs Roger Craig, Wendell Tyler and Carl
Monroe drifting into gaps to wait for check-off passes from a
patient Montana.
IT WAS an offense so filled with options that there was

Montana didn't have to match the bombs Miami quarterback
Dan Marino was so famous for this season. Instead, the ^ N
49ers' quarterback riddled the Dolphins' with a machine-gun "barrage
of short passes and stinging runs.
The San Francisco quarterback, who won the most valuable
player award with a record-shattering show in a 38-16 triumph
Sunday, seemed at times to be just making up plays as he went
along.
In fact, he was.
"NONE OF it's by design," Montana said of his scrambling
and checkoffs. "Most of the time it's just something that
happens. A play breaks down, a hole opens in front of me and
I just take off."
It was all part of the general strategy drawn up by Coach
Bill Walsh to give Montana four or five options. Montana
looks first for his two wide receivers, then one of his running f ,
backs, then considers running himself.
Montana's speed was first displayed on a 19-yard dash in
the second quarter, before he threw an 8-yard TD pass to
Craig. Montana did it again five minutes later from the 6,
when he pump-faked to Clark in the corner, saw him covered,
-I then tucked the ball in and dove over the goal line.
"We told Joe to make it when he sees it," Walsh said. One
r of the most spectacular plays of the game was the last
touchdown. Both wide receivers were covered on the thirdt
quarter play, so Tyler and Craig drifted into the middle just
t past the line of scrimmage at the 16 and criss-crossed. Craig
r took the pass from Montana on the run and high-stepped untouched
for a touchdown.
