left and defeat the Cincinnati Bengals 20-16.

49ers defeat the Denver Broncos 55-10, the largest margin of victory

Super Bowl XXV: As time expires,
the Buffalo Bills' Scott Norwood attempts a 47-yard field goal

Bowls, after winning two with San Francisco (XXIII and XXIV) and
two with Dallas (XXVII and XXVIII).

Super Bowl XXXIV: In an incredibly
close finish, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kevin Dyson catches
a short pass but is stopped at the 1 yard line as he stretches
for the end zone with no time left on the clock, and the St. Louis
Rams hold on to win 23-16.
Super Bowl XXXVI: Placekicker Adam
Vinatieri kicks a 48-yard field goal as time expires to lift the
New England Patriots to a 20-17 upset over the Rams, and the first

would kick another game-winning field goal at the end of Super
Bowl XXXVIII.
