Their two losses were only by a combined margin of five points.
The 49ers' offense was just every bit dominating every bit information technology was during the previous regular season.

In this game, the Broncos seemed to be in complete control at first, edifice up a 24–7 pb. But Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar rallied his team back with two third-quarter touchdowns, cutting the atomic number 82 to 24–21 going into the quaternary quarter. Some observers began to wonder if this game would become known as "The Improvement". However, Elway destroyed any chance of a Browns comeback by leading the Broncos 80 yards and scoring with a 39-yard touchdown pass to Sammy Winder on the outset bulldoze of the 4th quarter. Denver then scored field goals on each of their side by side two drives to put the game away.

Later, it was discovered that Montana suffered an injury to his throwing elbow in the game and it was severe plenty to toll him the unabridged 1991 flavour. Montana's injuries, which kept him out of 15 games in 1992 equally well, paved the way for Steve Young to become the 49ers' starting quarterback total-time and Montana was eventually traded to the Kansas City Chiefs in 1993.
