CBS Sports went through each franchise to determine their best team during the Super Bowl era. The 5-time Super Bowl Champion 49ers have options, as they dominated the ’80s and ’90s with some of the greatest teams we’ve ever seen.
You could make a case for a few teams, but the ’89 49ers were one of the most dominant teams in NFL history:
San Francisco 49ers: 1989*
Overall record: 17-2
Outscored their playoff opponents 126-26
Owners of the largest margin of victory in Super Bowl history
This was the hardest decision on the list.
