NFL Power Rankings: 30 most dominant teams all-time
-
1989 San Francisco 49ers
They’re the “Team of the 80’s” and probably as close to the definition of perfect as one team can get without going undefeated.
The ’89 Niners won their second of the late 80’s back-to-back Super Bowls behind the west coast offense driven by Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana.
The Niners opened the year winning three in a row, then six in a row, then finished the year winning their last eight games including the playoffs and Super Bowl XXIV in dominating fashion 55-10 over the Denver Broncos.
Keep in mind this is a team that won a Super Bowl the year before, going 10-6 in Bill Walsh’s final season. Also keep in mind that this team was even better in ’89 than in ’88 under a new head coach. In short, Walsh and the ’88 Niners threw the pitch for greatness and Seifert, Montana and the ’89 Niners knocked it out of the park.
