49ers Super Bowl history: When is the last time San Francisco made it to, won the Super Bowl?

0 Comments

Despite losing both QBs Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo to season-ending injuries, the San Francisco 49ers found a way and a new weapon in QB Brock Purdy–who was the last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft–to clinch the franchise’s first division title since 2019 with a 21-13 win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15.

For the 49ers, playing for the Lombardi Trophy is familiar territory. San Francisco has seven Super Bowl appearances in the following seasons: 2019, 2012, 1994, 1989, 1988, 1984, 1981. The seven appearances are fifth in the league overall behind the New England Patriots (11), Pittsburgh Steelers (8), Dallas Cowboys (8) and Denver Broncos (8). In their seven appearances, the 49ers have posted a 5-2 record. San Francisco’s five Super Bowl victories came during an unprecedented run in the ’80s when they won four Super Bowl titles in eight years. San Francisco did not record a loss in the big game until falling short to the Baltimore Ravens in Super Bowl XLVII.

With another Super Bowl win, the 49ers would join the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers as the teams with the most Super Bowl championships of all time.

  • Five (1981 season, 1984 season, 1988 season, 1989 season, 1994 season)

Most recent San Francisco 49ers Super Bowl appearance

  • 2019 season: Lost Super Bowl LIV vs. the Kansas City Chiefs, 31-20

The 49ers most recent Super Bowl appearance came against the Chiefs in the 2019 season. In the game, quarterback Patrick Mahomes led Kansas City to three touchdowns in the final 6:13. The Chiefs scored 21 straight points to overcome a double-digit deficit and defeat the 49ers, 31-20.

For 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, the loss cut deep. When he was the offensive coordinator of the Atlanta Falcons three years earlier, the Patriots came all the way back from down 25 points to defeat the Falcons, 34-28 in overtime.

With QB Jimmy Garoppolo and offensive weapons George Kittle and Deebo Samuel, Shanahan will look to rewrite history and finish out this season strong.

San Francisco 49ers most recent Super Bowl win

  • 1994 season: Won Super Bowl XXIX vs. the (formerly named) San Diego Chargers, 49-26

With a victory over the Chargers in Super Bowl XXIX, the 49ers became the first NFL team to win five Super Bowl championships. San Francisco had won its previous four Lombardi Trophies with Joe Montana at quarterback, but Steve Young led the 49ers to victory against the Chargers as he won the game MVP following a performance in which he threw for 325 yards and six touchdowns.

The game is the highest-scoring Super Bowl in NFL history. The 49ers scored 14 points in each of the first three quarters and seven more in the fourth to secure the 49-26 win.

NFL quarterback rankings 2023: Chris Simms’ top 40 QB countdown ahead of upcoming NFL season

0 Comments

While the NFL is a league that is ever-changing, some things are set to stay the same in 2023 — like the revealing of Chris Simms’ top 40 QB countdown.

Last year’s list saw Josh Allen take his place atop the quarterback throne, with Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes and Los Angeles’ Justin Herbert not far behind at No. 2 and No. 3, respectively. It was, however, Mahomes who would ultimately reign over all NFL quarterbacks at the end of the season, as the 27-year-old collected both the NFL MVP honors and his second Lombardi Trophy.

This NFL offseason, however, has brought some intriguing adjustments that are likely to shake up Simms’ rankings.

While some signal-callers such as Jalen Hurts and Lamar Jackson found their prolonged home with massive contract signings, others will be venturing to a new franchise in search of a fresh start. Aaron Rodgers‘ trade to the New York Jets is unquestionably the most staggering shift, but other quarterbacks on the move such as Derek Carr and Jimmy Garoppolo cannot be forgotten.
