Interceptions by Michael Walter and Chet Brooks ended the Broncos' first two possessions of the second half.

Jerry Rice, Super Bowl XXIII most valuable player, caught seven passes for 148 yards and three touchdowns.

The 49ers' domination included first downs (28 to 12), net yards (461 to 167), and time of possession (39:31 to 20:29).
