My church hosted a Super Bowl party for this game, and we had one side decorated for the 49ers and the other for the Chargers. Jaws dropped when Jerry Rice caught that first touchdown because of how quickly it happened. When Ricky Watters caught that second one, as soon as he crossed the goal line the Chargers poster fell to the ground, no kidding. We joked about, "Maybe God's trying to tell us something."
Regardless what people say....The "SAN DIEGO" Chargers did make it to the Super Bowl in the 1994 Season! At least back then, I got to see my NFL Team in the Super Bowl!
This was probably the most lopsided matchup in the entire run. Even more than the Bears and the Patriots. The 49ers trounced the Chargers in the regular season. Everyone knew the Niners were going to win big and they did.
Vividly remember this game. 20 years old, my older brother bought some Guinness, had just moved out of my parents house, huge 49er fan, finally Steve Young proved his worth.
I was stationed At NAS North Island during this game. I'm a 49er fan, while my Master Chief was a Charger fan. I went into the supply office early Monday morning, and hung my vintage early 80s 49er Starter jacket on the wall, behind his chair. Let's just say...he wasn't happy. OOOOOH Good times!
That last chargers touchdown wasn’t entirely insignificant; it made this the highest scoring super bowl of all time, a record that still stands almost a quarter century later.
I remember this game and I was pulling for the 9ers. I also recall Chris Berman always "Natrone Means Business" a lot, probably one of his best nicknames. Natrone is pretty much the epitome of an NFL one year wonder, he didn't do much after this season. Not sure what went wrong.
+B_side 1986 T Jack Ass wanted as much money as Jerry Rice. He flopped as an Eagle and anything else. To me he was the most hated Niner. Chargers had their chance 79-82. Most royal flops as a young teenager. Still remember that cheapskate owner Eugene Klein giving up on Fred Dean, John Jefferson, Gary Big hands Johnson, Louie Kelcher. 3 of those players would win Superbowls with the Niners. San Diego does not even have a football team. Flops!
I was 12 years old and my parents made me go to church so during service I snuck out and went 2 houses next to our church where they were showing the game outdoors I was watching the game behind the fence ...when my dad caught me it was all worth it
So much was made about that 49er offense that the defense may be a little overlooked. Through the 80's and early 90's the 49er offense ranked #1 quite often. The defense however quietly sat at #2 or #3 on a consistent basis.

fact is........during 92-96 the niners and cowboys owned the nfl.....but another fact is that dallas had their number 3 our of 4 seasons. this niners team had the offense, but dallas also had a great offense (emmit, aikman, irvin, moose, novacek) but their defense was legendary.....lett, tolbert, haley, jeffcoat, dixon edwards, nate washington, thomas everett, russel maryland, casillas, darren woodson, larry brown, ken norton jr(who played on this 49er team), deon, issac holt.......they definitely had the edge on sanfran.....3 out of 4 superbowls says it all......... ...and
all the five superbowl 49er teams had something deferent bot it was special that's why they were so dominate they just never flinched especially having George siefert and bill Walsh to me the coaches that made the nfl which is today which are the best two coaches ever for history of the niners
John Del Van agreed, they talk about Bill Walsh's WCO but no one talks about how George Seifert was actually the architect of Pete Carroll Carroll's cover 3 defense that all of these teams use now. The only difference is the terminology. The Leo is what Carroll calls his work side weak side DE, Seifert called it the Elephant.
It should have been the 49ers vs Steelers. The result would have been the same though. These 49ers were unstoppable this year (except being blown out and the starters benched against the Eagles). The Chargers didn't deserve to be there.
Biggest mismatch in Super Bowl history! The 94 49ers were one of the best teams to play in a Super Bowl, while the 94 Chargers were one of the worst. Going into the playoffs that year I had the Chargers as the weakest team in the tournament. How they beat both Miami and Pittsburgh is a mystery to me because I didn't think that the Chargers had a chance to win either game. But I knew that they had no chance against the 49ers and this time I was right! This game was over quickly!
Felt great for Steve Young after all those years of being UN fairly compared to Montana. And Junior Seau was the heart of those Chargers teams. As a Jets fan I still get pissed knowing they passed up both him & Emmitt Smith in the 1990 draft for Blair Thomas UGGH
Junior Seau was the most over rated LB of the era if not all time. If you think all 3 of the first 49er TDs were over the middle by mistake, you're wrong. They were sending a message after Junior, who was all talk, said the Niners wouldn't score over the middle. His name was NEVER EVEN CALLED in the game for making a play.
0:30 "Something strange is going to happen" the only strange thing that happened was that San Diego thought they had a chance hahaha. Niners for life!!
LOL!!! I would criticize that scene every time I watched this highlight reel. "Something strange is going to happen" Me: Yeah, you're going to get blown out from the start!!!
I was so pissed SD beat Pittsburgh cause I felt at least the Steelers would give us an entertaining game. I remember getting my plate of BBQ when the game started and by the time I sat down it was 14-0 and I checked out.. One of the worst SB's ever!!!
Imagine that scenario. The 49ers were 4-0 in Super Bowls at that time. The Steelers were also 4-0 in Super Bowls. The storyline. One team would have more Super Bowl wins than anyone in the NFL. The other would suffer their first Super Bowl loss.
This game was the reason why I became a fan of this team. Steve Young was and will forever be an amazing and legendary quarterback. I truly believe that Jimmy G. is heading down the same path. He will give us our 6th ring. #WINLOSEORTIE #NINERSTILIDIE #QUESTFORSIX #REVENGETOUR 🙌🙌❤❤🏈🏈
We finally make it to Superbowl 94', it's against Greatest NFL Team Ever.👎 Few years later 98' Padres make WorldSeries.. We lose 4 straight to Best MLB team ever, the "114 win" Yankees. Still Pissed Off.
This was one of the best all rounded Super Bowl teams ever from special teams to offensive line to defensive line two special teams when they got Deion Sanders that was the final piece of their puzzle you just felt so bad for San Diego cuz you know they did not stand a chance they got in a lucky Pittsburgh Steelers would have gotten the same treatment but I think they would have lost even more because Neil O'Donnell was their quarterback and we all know what magic he can do
I was so not excited for the Super Bowl I was looking more for the commercials you knew this was going to be an onslaught San Diego just did not look right even being in Joe Robbie Stadium or having their team name painted in the endzone none of it felt right you knew they were going to get an ass whooping greetings from Buffalo New York
The 1994 Chargers are also remembered for tragedy in the form of numerous untimely deaths, as eight of the players from that 1994 squad have died prematurely since that time, all by the age of 44. It is part of a supposed locally infamous curse in the San Diego area, involving its sports teams. June 19, 1995 - Linebacker David Griggs died in a car accident when his vehicle slid off a ramp on Florida's Turnpike, linking to three roads just west of Fort Lauderdale and subsequently slammed into a pole, he was 28 years old. May 11, 1996 - Running back Rodney Culver and his wife Karen were among the 110 people (105 passengers, 5 crew members) aboard ValuJet Flight 592 when it crashed into the Florida Everglades, killing everyone aboard. He was 26 years old.[3] July 21, 1998 - Linebacker Doug Miller died after being struck twice by lightning during a thunderstorm while camping in Colorado. He was 29 years old.[4] May 11, 2008 - Center Curtis Whitley died of a drug overdose. His body was discovered by sheriff deputies in his trailer home in Fort Stockton, Texas, just one day after his 39th birthday. One of the drugs he was known to use was Crystal methamphetamine.[5] October 15, 2008 - Defensive end Chris Mims was found dead in his Los Angeles apartment by police officers conducting a welfare check. The most likely cause of death was cardiac arrest due to an enlarged heart since he weighed 456 pounds or 207 kilograms when he died. He was 38 years old.[6][7] February 26, 2011 - Defensive tackle Shawn Lee died from a cardiac arrest resulting from double pneumonia. Lee had been suffering from diabetes for years prior to his death. He was 44 years old.[8] December 8, 2011 - Linebacker Lewis Bush died from an apparent heart attack, just six days after his 42nd birthday.[9] May 2, 2012 - Linebacker Junior Seau died in his home in Oceanside, California. Seau was discovered already lifeless by his girlfriend. His death was likely a suicide since a self-inflicted gunshot wound was apparent to the chest. He was 43 years old
This 1994 49ers team was loaded on offense most people say their 89 team was their best but this team was averaging 31 points a game and they drown everyone in the playoffs The Bears, Cowboys and then the Trashing of the Chargers in Superbowl 29
With the NFL rules in today's game you would think Steve Young 6 TD passes & the 75 points combined by both teams which is Super Bowl records would of been shattered by now.
Sadder than this SB loss for the Chargers was that 6-7 of their players this day died prematurely, one of them hit by lightning twice. Another ate himself to death and Junior Seau committed suicide.Think a running back died in an Everglades plane crash too.
Nine have died. •David Griggs, LB, 1995 - car accident just months after this game •Rodney Culver, RB, 1996 - commercial plane crash •Doug Miller, LB, 1998 - struck by lightning TWICE on a camping trip •Curtis Whitley, OL, 2008 - drug overdose •Chris Mims, DE, 2008 - cardiac arrest; weighed 456 pounds and was on disability at the time of his death •Shawn Lee, DT, 2011 - cardiac arrest resulting from double pneumonia; had been diabetic for years •Lewis Bush, LB, 2011 - heart attack •Junior Seau, LB, 2012 - suicide; was suffering from PTE •Courtney Hall, C, 2021 - cause of death evidently not announced, but at least he made it to 50, unlike the others.
Although, no one expected it at the time, this was actually the Swan Song for the NFC's domination. With the exception of the Redskin loss to the Raiders and the 2nd Bengal loss in XXIII, from SB XVI thru and including this one, the NFC won by dominating the O and D lines, sometimes even with inferior skill players (Hostetler, Rypien, Timmy Smith). I believe even in this SB, had Humphries played for the 9ers and Young for the Chargers, while the score would have been closer, the 49ers would still have won, as their supporting cast was so much better (the O and D lines, Rice, Watters, Taylor). I'll grant xxiii was an exception. The 49ers did not dominate in that game and had the QBs been reversed (Montana for Esiason) the 9ers would have lost. That was in contrast to the first Bengals loss where Anderson was a worthy QB, but the Bengals were not really in contention (they never had the lead and only threatened once with their 2nd TD) and only make the final score under 7 with a TD in garbage time . . . While the NFC would win 2 more Super Bowls, they were not of the same dominating character. They won mostly because they had the better QBs, and had to rely on the other teams mistakes (O'Donnell) or special teams play (Howard). That is, while previous NFC teams forced great players (Elway, Kelly, Marino, Thurman Thomas) into mistakes, the Cowboys in xxx won more because of O'Donnell's incompetence compared to Aikman than because of forced errors. While numerous times during their domination, the NFC teams won despite their own special teams mistakes or flat being outplayed on special teams, the Packers had to rely on special teams to win in xxxi. . . . Certainly, in xxx and xxxi, if the QBs were reversed, or the Steelers or Patriots had their future QBs, the scores would have been reversed. . .
Whoever was coming out the NFC meaning Dallas of San Fran was going to win the Super Bowl. The 49ers had destroyed the Chargers earlier in the season and did the same thing that night against them. Steve Young was on a mission to win it all and nothing and I mean nothing was going to stop him that night.
@12:05, What would Bill Walsh have said to his players under the same circumstances ? Bill would have lie down in the locker room floor with his head propped up against a bean-bag. As the anxious players look on, Bill would say calmly and with confidence: we’ll beat them.
My church hosted a Super Bowl party for this game, and we had one side decorated for the 49ers and the other for the Chargers. Jaws dropped when Jerry Rice caught that first touchdown because of how quickly it happened.

Regardless what people say....The "SAN DIEGO" Chargers did make it to the Super Bowl in the 1994 Season! At least back then, I got to see my NFL Team in the Super Bowl!
Forever Chargers
I remember working this Event 24 years ago.. WOW! It was The Joe Robbie Stadium! Remember being there at 6am and didn't get home until midnight!
The AFC in those days was no match for the NFC...for over a decade the NFC owned the Super Bowl...Denver broke the streak in 1998.
The Raiders were the last AFC team to win it in 84 before the streak began
And then came the AFC reign
Louis Billups and Scott Norwood helped the streak
I mean the Buffalo bills in 1990 had a shot to end that streak as they were better than the Giants but they screwed up and missed the FG.
This was probably the most lopsided matchup in the entire run. Even more than the Bears and the Patriots. The 49ers trounced the Chargers in the regular season. Everyone knew the Niners were going to win big and they did.
49ers in 1994 was so talented.
There offense was super and they had a tough defense.
It was their year!
It was the incompetence of the defense that couldn’t get over the hump the past 2 years
💥💥there's nothing like football in the 80s 90s and early 2000s
No playing like a pussy
MICOLE WHYTE hmmm maradona's argentina
So true it had such a different feeling
This was the last of the great 49ers teams. This game was over after 1 minutes 24seconds.
not really
DoctorZombieX they had a great team when it was 49ers vs ravens for that super bowl
So the game was over in 84 seconds
@@B_sideT no they had a great defense. The offense wasn't all that good. The defense really gave the offense the illusion of being a good offense.

I was happy for Steve Young this game finally got him from underneath Montana's shadow
I don't think matters if it was steve or joe what matters is that it was for the niners winning the superbowl
True if you are fan of the Niners...however it mattered to Steve Young though
If not for the Roger Craig fumble in the 1990 NFC Championship game, I think Young leads the 49ers to a Superbowl that year.
This 49ers team was an All Pro team on both sides of the ball!!!
So much was made about that 49er offense that the defense may be a little overlooked. Through the 80's and early 90's the 49er offense ranked #1 quite often. The defense however quietly sat at #2 or #3 on a consistent basis.

Odd to say that given that they needed some horrid officiating to defeat the Cowboys in the NFC title game that year.
G Sici the officiating always seems horrid from the loser's perspective.
BeefPapa I'm not even a Cowboys fan lol I just watched the game
Then I'm really just crushed that you don't agree.
I agree that they are one of the greatest teams ever however, imo the 89 niners were a little bit better.
I will say I did like them old 80's helmets & old uniforms of the chargers
It should have been the 49ers vs Steelers. The result would have been the same though. These 49ers were unstoppable this year (except being blown out and the starters benched against the Eagles). The Chargers didn't deserve to be there.

Complete and total domination! This Lets hope that the boys lol like this against Baltimore tomorrow!

Would have been cool if they played this game in California. I'd like to see something like that one day.
Young was best qb that year by far
He finished the season throwing 35 TDs to 3 INTs.
35/10
1:33 the way everybody should remember Junior Seau
I'm a 49er fan
This team and the 1989-990 team that beat Denver 55-10 are the best teams in NFL history. They could score at will.
I loved this era of Charger football.
Bobby Ross era
Marty Schottenheimer era
Junior and LaDanian forever
Go Bolts.....even though they lost.
Steve Young was not playing against the Chargers he was playing against Joe Montana and won
Greatest offense in ninner history. Hey Joe where were you at oh ya home watching your records dissappear.!!!
TOM BRADY.
Jason Nolan - LOL.... Montana and Young played games where they absorbed more brutal hits than Brady in his ENTIRE CAREER.
And 9res are in super bowl 2020
Al Pupunu doing the cutting open the coconut (football) and taking a sip!
2:31 : He had predicted on what was going to happen on that game at that time all along🤷♂️!!!
At 20:50 they must have been on a commercial break because I watched the post game trophy presentation and I didn't see this part.
Sadder than this SB loss for the Chargers was that 6-7 of their players this day died prematurely, one of them hit by lightning twice. Another ate himself to death and Junior Seau committed suicide.Think a running back died in an Everglades plane crash too.
Nine have died.
•David Griggs, LB, 1995 - car accident just months after this game
•Rodney Culver, RB, 1996 - commercial plane crash
•Doug Miller, LB, 1998 - struck by lightning TWICE on a camping trip
•Curtis Whitley, OL, 2008 - drug overdose
•Chris Mims, DE, 2008 - cardiac arrest; weighed 456 pounds and was on disability at the time of his death
•Shawn Lee, DT, 2011 - cardiac arrest resulting from double pneumonia; had been diabetic for years
•Lewis Bush, LB, 2011 - heart attack
•Junior Seau, LB, 2012 - suicide; was suffering from PTE
•Courtney Hall, C, 2021 - cause of death evidently not announced, but at least he made it to 50, unlike the others.
This game would have been much better if they just let Dallas and SF replay the NFC Championship Game. And that goes for all 92 & 93 as well
Although, no one expected it at the time, this was actually the Swan Song for the NFC's domination. With the exception of the Redskin loss to the Raiders and the 2nd Bengal loss in XXIII, from SB XVI thru and including this one, the NFC won by dominating the O and D lines, sometimes even with inferior skill players (Hostetler, Rypien, Timmy Smith). I believe even in this SB, had Humphries played for the 9ers and Young for the Chargers, while the score would have been closer, the 49ers would still have won, as their supporting cast was so much better (the O and D lines, Rice, Watters, Taylor). I'll grant xxiii was an exception. The 49ers did not dominate in that game and had the QBs been reversed (Montana for Esiason) the 9ers would have lost. That was in contrast to the first Bengals loss where Anderson was a worthy QB, but the Bengals were not really in contention (they never had the lead and only threatened once with their 2nd TD) and only make the final score under 7 with a TD in garbage time . . .
While the NFC would win 2 more Super Bowls, they were not of the same dominating character. They won mostly because they had the better QBs, and had to rely on the other teams mistakes (O'Donnell) or special teams play (Howard). That is, while previous NFC teams forced great players (Elway, Kelly, Marino, Thurman Thomas) into mistakes, the Cowboys in xxx won more because of O'Donnell's incompetence compared to Aikman than because of forced errors. While numerous times during their domination, the NFC teams won despite their own special teams mistakes or flat being outplayed on special teams, the Packers had to rely on special teams to win in xxxi. . . . Certainly, in xxx and xxxi, if the QBs were reversed, or the Steelers or Patriots had their future QBs, the scores would have been reversed. . .
no cause the cowboys and packers won it after this.
Neil O'Donnel threw that game.
strike this one under the wish we hadn't watched SB's.
Won much money on this game!!!
RIP Seau
If your a chargers fan this lost still hunts you to this day
Really wanted to see the Steelers vs 49ers
Sb29 gave me a good 13th bday within a week of the game. Hope they give me a good 40th 😅😫
Bobby Ross was half the Chargers highlights in this Film...at least
19:20 Woah....😍
It was inches away from being 28-21 at halftime instead of 28-10
How so?
Two California teams playing in South Florida
My ranking for the best 49ers championship teams:
#1 1989
#2 1994
#3 1984
#4 1988
#5 1981
Poor Chargers really thought they had a chance against the mighty '94 Niners? Steve Young, Jerry Rice, and Primetime? Oh boy. ;)
Bobby Ross What a joke .All that yelling and screaming.Thats not how you win a super bowl 🏟.
Allen Warren
It didn't help The players couldn't do anything about it
Why am I not seeing Rodney Harrison at Strong Safety on the field for the San Diego Chargers 🏈 ?!!
Dumisa Tony Johnson watch his “A Football Life” documentary. It’s uploaded on here
Not a starter at that time Stanley Richard was a joke (deer in the head lights)+Jerry probably would have got hurt but he survived Atwater hits
Was Tom Brady ever really hit by any one oh yeah broken clavicle!
Never saw him cheap shot like Montana was many times
The chargers making it to the super bowl was a miracle they beat the Steelers on the road
Whoever was coming out the NFC meaning Dallas of San Fran was going to win the Super Bowl. The 49ers had destroyed the Chargers earlier in the season and did the same thing that night against them. Steve Young was on a mission to win it all and nothing and I mean nothing was going to stop him that night.
The 49ers are my other favorite NFL team along with the Giants the 49ers are my first favorite & the Giants are my second favorite
The niners beat the chargers during the regular season that year in qualcomm stadium 38-16 and sanders had a 80 yard pick six
Steve Young
1994/95 League MVP 🏆
SBXXIX MVP 🏟🏆
If Jones doesn't let his ego get in the way, this is Dallas' 3rd in a row all the way. No way the AFC was going to beat the NFC this year.
I wonder how Mahomes chiefs would’ve matched up with this 49ers team...
why did Greg Brady get grounded?
49ers let it be little closer shut out be awesome and only team to do it.
@12:05, What would Bill Walsh have said to his players under the same circumstances ? Bill would have lie down in the locker room floor with his head propped up against a bean-bag. As the anxious players look on, Bill would say calmly and with confidence: we’ll beat them.
