Super Bowl XXIII took place on January 22, 1989 at the Orange Bowl in Miami, Florida.
The final result was San Francisco 49ers 20, Cincinnati Bengals 16.
This was the second meeting between these two teams in the Super Bowl. The game was characterized by the 49ers coming back from a 16-13 deficit and winning the game on a Joe Montana pass to John Taylor with 16 seconds left in the game. This was the drive in which, to break tension, Montana looked into the stands and pointed, saying "Isn't that John Candy?"
