Notes:  This is the long anticipated Young vs. Montana battle.  Kansas City moves 67 yards in 11 plays on their opening drive and score on a 4^th-and-goal from the 1-yard line when Montana fakes to Allen and passes to a wide open Joe Valerio.  The 49ers can’t get anything don on their first drive, hampered by a false start (thanks to Neil Smith) and a sack (Derrick Thomas).  The 49er defense stiffens on KC’s next drive and prevents the offense from scoring for the rest of the half.  Ricky Watters runs wild on San Francisco’s next drive, setting them up at the end of the quarter inside the KC 10.

 

The second quarter opens with Young finding Jones at the front of the end zone, tying the score.  After a quick KC possession and punt, San Francisco drives again, this time running it in with Logan for the lead.  Kansas City’s drive runs into more problems and ends when Dent sacks Montana.  Aguiar punts it to the 49er 1, and the Kansas City defense goes back to work.  Neil Smith forces a third false start, bushing San Francisco back to the 7, and Derrick Thomas sacks Young in the end zone for the safety.

 

The Chiefs hold off a San Francisco attack to start the third quarter, then get a great run back from Danan Hughes, and despite a 15-yard penalty they start with great field position.  The Chiefs find their groove again and Montana hits Cash in the end zone.  The two-point conversion attempt succeeds and KC goes up by a field goal.  The Chiefs defense does its job next and intercepts Young near midfield, running it back to the SF 18.  They capitalize on the turnover, sending Allen into the end zone in classic Allen style.  The Chiefs defense hounds the 49eer offense again on the next drive with a White interception of a pass intended for Jerry Rice.  KC can’t cash in this time and they punt the ball away.

 

San Francisco is driving as the fourth quarter opens, but the game is well in hand at that point and the last 14 minutes are missing from this copy.

 

Marcus Allen passes Earl Campbell to take over ninth place on the all-time rushing yards list.  Derrick Thomas racks up 3 sacks.

 

Thanks Matt!
