It's so difficult to just pick one performance, so I narrowed it down to best passing performance, rushing performance, receiving performance and two defensive performances. For best passing performance, I chose Steve Young in Super Bowl XXIX. There were still doubts about Young taking over for Joe Montana, but Young threw for 325 yards and a record 6 touchdowns and zero interceptions in the San Francisco 49ers 49-26 victory over the San Diego Chargers. Best rushing performance goes to Marcus Allen in Super Bowl XVIII. He ran for 191 yards on 20 carries, which included a 74 yard run in the third quarter. The Oakland Raiders defeated the Washington Redskins 38-9. Best receiving performance goes to Jerry Rice in Super Bowl XXIII in the 49ers victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Rice caught 11 passes for 215 yards and had receptions of 7, 17 and 27 yards on the 49ers game winning final drive. The two best defensive performances go to Reggie White of the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XXI and Rod Martin of the Raiders in Super Bowl XV. White had a record 3 quarterback sacks against the New England Patriots and Martin had a record 3 interceptions against the Philadelphia Eagles.
