The Joe Montana era in San Francisco was over, but there was a new MVP in town, and Steve Young clinched his Hall of Fame credentials by leading the 49ers to their firth Super Bowl in 14 years, and first since Montana last did so in 1989. Passing and running for 42 touchdowns, Young led the NFL in passer rating and found Hall of Fame WR Jerry Rice 112 times for 13 TDs and an NFL-best 1,499 yards.

The Niners’ 505 points and +209 point-differential were far and away the best in the NFL. Dallas (12-4) was second with 414 points and +166, but San Francisco dispatched Dallas 38-28 in the NFC title game, then pulverized AFC champ San Diego, 49-26, as Young threw six scoring passes, three to Rice.

The survivor among rivals in the bitterly fought AFC Central was 12-4 Pittsburgh, which beat 11-5 Cleveland twice, then a third time in the playoffs. The Browns yielded only 204 points, best in the NFL and the Steelers were second at 234.

• Detroit’s Barry Sanders led the NFL with 1,883 rushing yards.
• Dallas’ Emmitt Smith led with 22 TDs, 21 rushing, and was third with 1,484 yards rushing.
• Green Bay’s Sterling Sharpe led with 18 TD catches.
• New England’s Drew Bledsoe led with 4,555 passing yards, but also with 27 interceptions.
