Before the season, NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle announced his retirement. Paul Tagliabue was eventually chosen to succeed him. Division winners in the AFC were Buffalo in the East, Cleveland in the Central, and Denver in the West, with the Wild-Cards going to Pittsburgh and Houston. In the NFC, it was New York in the East, Minnesota in the Central, and San Francisco in the West, with the Wild-Cards going to Philadelphia and Los Angeles. In the Wild-Card games, the Steelers would win a thriller in overtime at Houston 26-23, while the Rams would cruise to a 21-7 victory over the Eagles. In the AFC Divisional Playoffs, the Browns would win a shoot-out over the Bills 34-30, while John Elway would engineer a late fourth quarter comeback, leading the Broncos over the Steelers 24-23. In the NFC, the Rams would need to go to overtime to defeat the Giants 19-13, while the 49ers would crush the Vikings 41-13. In the conference championship games, the Broncos cruised over the Browns 37-21, while the 49ers would pound the Rams 30-3, setting up the match-ups for Super Bowl XXIV. Played on January 28, 1990 at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, the 49ers defeated the Broncos by the score of 55–10, winning their second consecutive Super Bowl, and tying the Pittsburgh Steelers with four Super Bowl victories. This game remains the most lopsided game in Super Bowl history to date. San Francisco's 55 points were the most ever scored by one team, and their 45-point margin of victory was the largest ever. San Francisco quarterback Joe Montana was named the Super Bowl MVP, his third award in his fourth Super Bowl victory. He completed 22 of 29 passes for a total of 297 yards and a Super Bowl record 5 touchdowns, while also rushing for 15 yards. Montana's 75.9 completion percentage was the second highest in Super Bowl history, and he also set a record by completing 13 consecutive passes during the game. Montana became the third player in league history to win both the Super Bowl MVP and the AP Most Valuable Player Award during the same season. Bart Starr and Terry Bradshaw also won both after the 1966 and 1978 seasons, respectively.
