    I will go with the 1984 49ers but the Steelers were the only team to beat them that year

    1985 Bears were a one hit wonder. Nobody beat them except an anomaly by the Fins. The 49ers owned the decade.

    Agreed, but it's not like they faced HOF QBs along the way: Ok, Phil Simms was decent, but then Dieter Brock for the Rams (so you know they were one-dimensional with Eric Dickerson) and then the "great" Tony Eason.

    Reminds of some of the QB's we lost to during Ben's era. The worse for me was Broncos and Tim Tebow:(

    I remember losing to Blake Bortles. How does a Blake Bortles led offense score 45 points against a Mike Tomlin (defensive background right?) team?
