Super Bowl 2025 Opening Night Live Updates: Media Day Latest news ahead of Chiefs vs. Eagles

No team in the Super Bowl story was filled up to get there as San Francisco 49ers from 1994. Jimmy Johnson’s rival Dallas Cowboys had won the previous two Super Bowls and beat the 49s in the NFC Championship game both times. Mike Holmgrens Green Bay Packers rose in NFC. Free agency was new. Competition was tangible.

Then 49ers owner Eddie Debartolo Jr. opened his checkbook and added Future Hall of Famers Deion Sanders, Rickey Jackson and Richard Dent in free agency, plus Ken Norton Jr., Bart Oates and Gary Plummer. The All-in San Francisco team also traded from No. 15 to No. 7 in the first round of the 1994 draft to choose Bryant Young, which became a Hall of Famer.

These 49ers beat Cowboys in the NFC title game and won it all and covered an 18.5-point Super Bowl spread against San Diego Chargers.

A East Coast businessman with advanced degrees in psychology and social policy was detailed notes. Jeffrey Lurie, who bought Philadelphia Eagles that year, said his team would be “as aggressively in the front office as we expect the players to be on the field.”
