Joe Montana: Super bowl record| Cool under pressure| Chiefs
Joseph Clifford Montana Jr. (born June 11, 1956) is an American former professional football player who was quarterback in the National Football League (NFL) for 16 seasons. Nicknamed “Joe Cool”[1] and “The Comeback Kid”,[2] he spent most of his career with the San Francisco 49ers.[3] After winning a national championship at Notre Dame, Montana moved to San Francisco in 1979. He started his NFL career in the U.S., where he played for the next 14 seasons. With the 49ers, Montana started and won four Super Bowls and was the first player to be named Super Bowl MVP three times. He also holds the Super Bowl career record for most passes without an interception (122 in four games) and the all-time highest passing rating of 127.8. In 1993, Montana was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs for his final two seasons, and he led the franchise to its first AFC Championship game in January 1994. Montana was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2000.

Super bowl record
Bradshaw cuts off the Cowboys’ defense of “Doomsday.” After turning the ball twice, Bradshaw gave the Steelers a 21-14 halftime lead by passing touchdown passes to John Stallworth and Rocky Blair. His fourth quarter touchdown pass proved to be a game-winning score for Lynn Swann. And unlike most of the quarterbacks on this list, Bradshaw calls his own plays, which helped move his performances up the list.
Joe Montana, Super Bowl XXIV (49ers 55, Broncos 10)
22 of 29, 297 yards, 5 TD
Montana said he’s never had more fun in the Super Bowl, and it’s easy to see why. He threw two touchdown passes in the first quarter, one in the second and two in the third quarter, and at the start of the fourth quarter, the game was left for a shower of joy. He threw his three touchdown passes to Jerry Rice, who caught 7 passes for 148 yards. Montana won its then-record third MVP trophy, improving 4–0 in the Super Bowls.
Cool under pressure

Joe Montana: Cool Under Pressure has stories that many people don’t know: Doubts from his coaches, brawls with teammates, and insecurities from within inspired one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game. The series includes exclusive footage as well as interviews with several NFL personalities including Tom Brady, Jerry Rice, Steve Young, George Seifert, former 49ers owner Ed DeBartolo Jr., Peyton Manning, Magic Johnson and Ken Griffey Jr.
Chiefs
Kansas City acquired two Super Bowl MVPs in one fell swoop — Joe Montana from the San Francisco 49ers and Marcus Allen. Allen arrived from Kansas City’s most hated rival, the Los Angeles Raiders, in a move still talked about today when discussing football’s hottest rivalry. Leading into the 1993 season, the Chiefs not only had a proven passer, but also a proven running game to complement their already powerful defense.
Last season, the Chiefs’ starting quarterback was Dave Craig and their running back was Christian Okoye. Okoye suffered a knee injury before training camp in 1993, but keeping Craig in the event of injury to new starter Montana would be a wise decision.
Allen was named the NFL Comeback Player of the Year in 1993 after rushing twelve touchdowns and 764 yards.
