Presented is a 1989 Joe Montana and Jerry Rice dual-signed Super Bowl XXIII full ticket. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback and wide receiver combo signed their names in black marker, Montana on top, Rice below, at the center of a 2½ x 6½-inch white paper full ticket to the NFL Championship contest, in which the 49ers defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 20–16, winning their third Super Bowl. The game was played on January 22, 1989 at Joe Robbie Stadium in Miami, Florida. The game is best remembered for the 49ers' fourth-quarter game-winning drive. Down 16–13, San Francisco got the ball on their own 8-yard line with 3:10 on the clock and marched 92 yards down the field in under three minutes. They then scored the winning touchdown on a Montana pass to John Taylor with just 34 seconds left in the game. The game was tight throughout. The teams combined for five field goals and battled to a 3–3 score by the end of the second quarter, the first halftime tie in Super Bowl history. Cincinnati's only touchdown, a 93-yard kickoff return by Stanford Jennings in the third quarter, was quickly answered by a four-play, 85-yard drive that ended with Rice's 14-yard touchdown reception. Rice, who was named the Super Bowl MVP, caught 11 passes for a Super Bowl record 215 yards and a touchdown, while also rushing once for five yards.
