Countdown to Super Bowl 2019 Atlanta: Super Bowl XXIX

The “Battle for California” highlights the Road to Super Bowl 53, as the San Diego Chargers and San Francisco 49ers show down in Super Bowl XXIX.

Battle for California

Played in front of over 74,000 wild football fans at Miami’s Joe Robbie Stadium, Super Bowl XXIX between the San Diego Chargers and San Francisco 49ers highlighted not only the two best teams in the state of California, but the entire NFL. San Francisco would go on to capture yet another Super Bowl title, defeating the Chargers 49-26.

49ers quarterback Steve Young would steal the show in Super Bowl XXIX, completing 24 of his 36 passes for 325 yards, and going on to be named Super Bowl MVP. Super Bowl XXIX would go down in history as not only one of the more exciting games, but the first where both teams would manage to score in all four quarters of the game.

In 1995, Super Bowl XXIX was broadcast on ABC to more than 83 million fans worldwide, with Al Michaels, Frank Gifford and Dan Dierdorf handling broadcasting duties. The cost of a 30-second spot officially surpassed the million-dollar mark in 1995, up to $1.15 million, and entertainers Tony Bennett and Patti LaBelle were the halftime entertainment.

Countdown to Super Bowl 2019 Atlanta: Super Bowl XXIV

Making their second-straight appearance on the Road to the 2019 Super Bowl 53 in Atlanta, the defending Super Bowl and NFC Champions San Francisco 49ers matched up against the AFC Champion Denver Broncos and quarterback John Elway in Super Bowl XXIV.

Montana vs. Elway

Once again hosted in New Orleans, Louisiana, a popular new home for the Super Bowl, Super Bowl XXIV was played in front of nearly 73,000 people at the Louisiana Superdome. The AFC Champion Denver Broncos and NFC Champion (and defending Super Bowl champion) San Francisco 49ers would square off in what would be remembered as what can simply be described as a “beatdown.”

The 49ers would walk away with their second-straight Super Bowl victory, a 55-10 drudging of the Denver Broncos. Quarterback for the 49ers Joe Montana would win his third Super Bowl MVP honors, becoming just the third person in NFL history to win both Super Bowl and league MVP awards in the same season.

Super Bowl XXIV was aired on the CBS network in 1990 and a 30-second commercial could cost a company around $700,000. There were a total of 73.85 million viewers tuning in to watch this game.

Countdown to Super Bowl 2019 Atlanta: Super Bowl XIX

For the first time in Super Bowl history, an essential home-game for one team as the Road to 2019 Super Bowl 53 in Atlanta continues with Super Bowl XIX between the NFC-champion San Francisco 49ers and AFC-champion Miami Dolphins.

Montana Meets Marino

Played at Stanford Stadium in Stanford, California in 1985, Super Bowl XIX between the 49ers and Dolphins was an essential home game for San Francisco, as nearly 85,000 fans strong would pack the stands. In dominating fashion, the 49ers would capture yet another title, defeating the Dolphins 38-16.

Leading up to Super Bowl XIX, the hype surrounded mainly two players; the quarterbacks. What would go on to be two Hall of Famers going head-to-head, the 49ers’ Joe Montana would face off against the Dolphins’ Dan Marino, the first time facing one another in the big game. Each would throw for more than 300 yards, but it was Montana would go on to get the best of Marino.

Super Bowl XIX was the first time the big game was broadcast on ABC, and President Ronald Reagan became the first sitting president to participate in pre-game ceremonies, conducting the coin toss, which would take part in a televised event directly from the White House. The cost for a commercial during Super Bowl XIX sharply increased to a whopping $525,000 for 30 seconds of air time, with more than 85.53 million viewers watching the big game.

Countdown to Super Bowl 2019 Atlanta: Super Bowl XVI

Two teams looking to rebound on the Road to 2019 Super Bowl in Atlanta after disappointing seasons in 2017, the Cincinnati Bengals and San Francisco 49ers showed down in Super Bowl XVI in 1982.

Montana Leads 49ers to Victory

The San Francisco 49ers would capture the Lombardi Trophy in Super Bowl XVI, defeating the AFC champion Cincinnati Bengals by a score of 26-21. Over 81,000 were in attendance for the 16th installment of the Super Bowl, this time being played at the Pontiac Silverdome, in Pontiac, Michigan.

Trailing 26-14, the Bengals would score a touchdown in the waning seconds of Super Bowl XVI to make it 26-21, but would fail to recover an onside kick, leading San Francisco to the victory. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Joe Montana would take home Super Bowl MVP honors, completing 14 of his 22 passes for 157 yards and a touchdown, while also recording a touchdown on the ground.

The cost of a 30-second TV commercial rose once again in 1982, up to $324,000, the most expensive to date. Pat Summerall and John Madden handled broadcasting duties for Super Bowl XVI, which brought in a record 85.24 million viewers worldwide.

It seemed as though the group “Up with People” was starting to make a themselves regulars at the Super Bowl. The halftime show for Super Bowl XVI was Up with People presents “Salute to the 1960s and Motown.” Pat Haggerty was the referee for this Super Bowl and the future hall of famers recorded were Bill Walsh (coach), Fred Dean, Ronnie Lott, Joe Montana.

Road to Super Bowl 53: NFC West Preview

A change at the top in what looks to be promising future for the entirety of the NFC West headlined the 2017 NFL season. And despite faltering in the playoffs, the future for most of the NFC West appears to be bright, with one of the hottest new teams setting their sights on Super Bowl 53 in Atlanta.

Los Angeles Rams

2017 Record: 11-5, NFC West Champions

The surprise of the 2017 NFL season, rookie head coach Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams jumped out to a 7-2 start on the season before cooling off to finish at 11-5. And despite losing in the Wild Card round to the defending NFC champion Atlanta Falcons, fans appear to be impressed with what the Rams produced.. and they didn’t stop there.

Many are crowning the Rams as the ‘winners’ of the 2018 NFL Free Agency period, bringing in key additions (and big names) like defensive backs Marcus Peters (Kansas City), Sam Shields (Green Bay) and Aqib Talib (Denver), defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh (Miami) and wide receiver Brandin Cooks (New England). With such big names, and a seemingly successful campaign in 2017, expectations are rightfully high as we approach the beginning of a new season.

Seattle Seahawks

2017 Record: 9-7

Opposite of their division-rivals in 2017, the Seattle Seahawks had a seemingly ‘down’ year in 2017, finishing at 9-7 and missing the playoffs.

The Seahawks weren’t content with trying for different results with the same team, opting to reload the roster through free agency with a slew of one-year contracts, including wide receivers Brandon Marshall and Jaron Brown, defensive pass rusher Barkevious Mingo, and boosting their secondary by signing defensive backs Mo Alexander, and Dontae Johnson.

Fans will be left adjusting to a massively-different look for the Seahawks on defense, featuring the departures of staples such as cornerback Richard Sherman, who signed with the division-rival 49ers, and safety Kam Chancellor, who announced his retirement in late June.

Arizona Cardinals

2017 Record: 8-8

In what seemed to be an odd year for the Cardinals, 2017 saw the team win and lose nearly every-other game, losing key players such as quarterback Carson Palmer to injury once again. And in the 2018 offseason, the Cardinals saw plenty of change.

Head coach Bruce Arians and quarterback Carson Palmer respectively announced their retirements early in the offseason, setting in motion a season of change in all aspects for Big Red. Bringing in quarterbacks Sam Bradford and Mike Glennon to battle for the starting spot, and drafting rookie quarterback Josh Rosen out of UCLA, ensures the team has plenty of competition in the QB room. The team also added some offensive weapons in the receiving corps, signing former Dallas Cowboy Brice Butler and drafting the talented Christian Kirk out of Texas A&M.

San Francisco 49ers

2017 Record: 6-10

Quite possibly on of the more intriguing storylines to watch heading into the 2018 NFL season, the San Francisco 49ers started the 2017 season 0-9 and were seemingly playing for the draft. However, a mid-season trade their newly-minted franchise quarterback in former Patriot Jimmy Garoppolo helped spark the team’s wining 6 of their last 7 games to finish at 6-10.

Aside from trading for their franchise-quarterback, the 49ers did plenty in the 2018 offseason to help build around him, bringing in playmakers like former Vikings running back Jerick McKinnon, securing the offensive line and signing former division-rival cornerback Richard Sherman on defense. In the draft, the 49ers, grabbed a solid offensive line presence in Notre Dame right tackle Mike McGlinchey in the first round before grabbing Washington wide receiver and playmaker Dante Pettis in the second.

2018 NFL Expert Mock Draft: Picks 6-10

As teams get set for the month of April, the next step on the journey toward Super Bowl 53 in Atlanta involves invigorating the team’s rosters with an infusion of youth; the 2018 NFL Draft. We’re gathering some of the top experts from around the NFL world and taking a look at who they predict will go where, continuing with picks 6-10.

#6: Indianapolis Colts

CBS Sports, NFL.com: Bradley Chubb, EDGE, NC State | Bleacher Report (Traded to Buffalo Bills): Josh Rosen, QB, UCLA

There are plenty of opinions on what the Indianapolis Colts might do at #6, but CBS Sports’ R.J. White thinks the team decides to stay put. “The Colts should be jumping for joy if they can get Chubb after trading back to No. 6. The NC State pass rusher is one of the two or three best players in the draft, and he happens to fill a big need for a Colts defense switching to a 4-3 under new defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus. A front consisting of Chubb, Jabaal Sheard, Henry Anderson and Al Woods could be nasty.” – R.J. White, CBS Sports

#7: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

CBS Sports, NFL.com: Derwin James, S, Florida State | Bleacher Report: Minkah Fitzpatrick, DB, Alabama

While many think Florida State’s Derwin James is the pick here, Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller thinks the Bucs get themselves a different defensive back at #7. “Fitzpatrick is a defensive eraser. Alabama moved him from corner to safety to a nickel spot throughout his career, and he flourished in each. The Buccaneers would likely identify him as a plug-and-play starter at strong safety. Given how productive he was in that role for the Crimson Tide, he could have a Jamal Adams-type of rookie season. ” – Matt Miller, Bleacher Report

#8: Chicago Bears

CBS Sports, Bleacher Report, NFL.com: Quenton Nelson, G, Notre Dame

A consensus at #8, the Chicago Bears get some offensive line help to protect second-year quarterback Mitch Trubisky. “If you draft your franchise QB in 2017 (Mitchell Trubisky), you continue to surround him with weapons and protect him in 2018. The middle of the OL for the Bears will be formidable with Pro Bowl OG Kyle Long, talented C Cody Whitehair, and now Nelson, the best OL in this year’s draft.” – Charles Davis, NFL.com

#9: San Francisco 49ers

CBS Sports: Minkah Fitzpatrick, DB, Alabama | Bleacher Report: Tremaine Edmunds, LB, Virginia Tech | NFL.com: Denzel Ward, DB, Ohio State

While others think the 49ers might go with help in the defensive secondary, Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller thinks the 49ers will look to shore up their linebacking corps. “Tremaine Edmunds is just 19 years old and already looks like an immediate NFL starter. At 6’4 ½” and 253 pounds, he doesn’t look like a teenager and doesn’t play like one either. Edmunds is a versatile asset on defense, and given Reuben Foster’s off-field issues, he would also provide insurance in case the Niners lose last year’s first-rounder for an extended time. And should they get on the field together? Watch out.” – Matt Miller, Bleacher Report

#10: Oakland Raiders

CBS Sports, Bleacher Report: Denzel Ward, DB, Ohio State | NFL.com: Tremaine Edmunds, LB, Virginia Tech

The run on the defensive side of the ball continues at #10, where CBS Sports’ R.J. White thinks the Raiders dip into Ohio State’s talented secondary. “The Raiders are seeing massive turnover at the cornerback position with David Amerson, Sean Smith and T.J. Carrie out the door. Rashaan Melvin was a nice pickup, but Shareece Wright is nothing more than depth. Enter Ward, an elite cover corner who has everything but prototypical size. He’ll be an excellent slot corner and should excel in Oakland, where Melvin and Gareon Conley can match up with bigger receivers.” – R.J. White, CBS Sports
