2. 1984 49ers

  • Final record: 18-1
  • Boasted the league’s top-ranked offense and second-ranked defense
  • Defeated their three playoff opponents by a combined score of 82-26

In the playoffs, the 49ers defeated the Giants and Bears — the next two Super Bowl champions — by a combined score of 44-10.
