10. 1994 San Francisco 49ers

Spoiler alert, the 49ers are going to be very prevalent in the top 10 of this list. 1994 was a magical year for the franchise. Steve Young was named MVP, and the 49ers just beat up teams all season.

The 49ers were first in points in 1994, putting up 505 for an average of 31.6 points per game. Their 6,060 total yards were second in the NFL that season, and they had the fourth best air attack in terms of yards. San Francisco had the sixth most rushing yards of any team in the NFL that season, as well. They ran for just under 1,900 yards and 23 touchdowns.

The Niners defense allowed the sixth fewest points per game in the league, and they were top 10 in terms of total yards allowed. Their 35 takeaways were the fifth most in the league that year and they led the NFL with 23 interceptions.

The 49ers had five games of scoring 40 points or more in the regular season, and two in the playoffs. They beat the Bears 44-15 in the Divisional Round and defeated the Chargers in the Super Bowl 49-26, capping off one of the best years in franchise history as Steve Young finally got the monkey off his back.
