Every year, when the week of the Super Bowl rolls around, it’s impossible to leave out the San Francisco 49ers.
After all, the Niners were the first franchise in NFL history to reach five Super Bowl wins. That was the most in league history until the Pittsburgh Steelers recorded their sixth Lombardi Trophy in Super Bowl XLIII over the Arizona Cardinals.
San Francisco nearly tied that mark, of course, just falling short of their own sixth Super Bowl win against the Baltimore Ravens back in 2013. Still, a 5-1 record in the NFL championship is nothing to scoff at.
