Only 3 times in SB history has a team lost the turnover battle and won the game;

of those games, but when Roger fumbled here concern was warranted.

END OF SECOND QUARTER:

Cincinnati (:50)
Cofer kick to C 7, Jennings 93 TOUCHDOWN (:34). Breech extra point.


Cincinnati scoring drive: 93–yard kickoff return, :16.
Cincinnati 13, San Francisco 6

And that immediately led to a kickoff return for a touchdown.
We went into the 4th quarter down
a touchdown, this was the first time, and really the only time, in any of our 5 Super Bowls
that I thought we were going to lose.

San Francisco (:34)
Taylor 13 return.

. Cofer  extra point.


San Francisco scoring drive: 85 yards, 4 plays, 1:31.

We went 85 yards in 4 plays.  1988 was a season
 where we didn't play well until the very last possible
 moment, and it was true in 23 as well.

Cofer kick out of bounds.

(Following Punt)

C 32

Montana  incomplete.
C 32
4–4
Cofer missed FG



Cofer's second missed FG; this one was
long, 49 yards, so you can't exactly put
 his head on a pike, worth considering if
maybe we should have gone for it.

Cincinnati scoring drive: 46 yards, 10 plays, 5:27. 
Breech 40 FG
Cincinnati 16, San Francisco 13

Here we go - down a FG with three and change left.  Here's the final drive.
