19. 1994 San Francisco 49ers (SB SB XXIX)

After Joe Montana indubitably left his mark on the NFL and the 49ers, it was time for Steve Young to keep the dynasty alive, but he had a bit more difficult time in doing so as his 49ers teams in the early 1990s were up against some NFC East powerhouses every season. However, they got the job done in the 1994 season as Young and company ran through the regular season with a 13-3 record before ultimately reigning atop the league as Super Bowl champions.

Young himself was phenomenal as he threw for 35 touchdowns and rushed for seven more. Jerry Rice was also there doing the things all-time great receivers do and aiding the cause for the best offense in the NFL in the regular season as they posted 31.6 points per game. The defense wasn’t quite as dominant as the other side of the ball, but they still came in as the No. 6-ranked unit in terms of scoring on the year behind the efforts of Deion Sanders and company.

The three-loss regular season was solid and that didn’t slow down in the postseason. They started off by beating the Bears handily by a score of 44-15 and then finally got past the reigning two-time champs in the Cowboys before going to the big game and earning a 49-26 win to be able to call themselves champions once again.

Next: No. 18
