A look at the 49ers’ opening acts in years they reached or won the Super Bowl.
I can think of only one season-opening win that compares — a 44-14 win over the Los Angeles Raiders at Candlestick Park to open the 1994 season.The Raiders, in what turned out to be their last season in Los Angeles before returning to Oakland, were regarded as AFC contenders because of their speed and athleticism. They may as well have been running in quicksand against the 49ers.
Rice broke Jim Brown’s all-time NFL touchdown record with his 127th career touchdown after catching a 69-yard touchdown pass, running 23 yards for a touchdown and finally tumbling into the end zone on a 38-yard scoring pass from Steve Young to close out the scoring. They lost the next week 24-17 in the Young vs. Joe Montana game in Kansas City the following week. They were 3-2 after a 40-8 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles at Candlestick in the game in which Young screamed at coach George Seifert for removing him from a blowout loss.
