The 49ers won five Super Bowls, four in the 1980s, and are considered The Team of the Eighties (the team had never won an NFL or Super Bowl championship prior, and had never even won a division title until 1970).
The 49ers players found out about it at halftime when coach Frankie Albert was handed a note with two words: "Tony's gone." With tears running down their faces, and motivated to win for their departed owner, the 49ers scored 17 unanswered points to win the game, 21-17.
The 49ers would finish that season with a record of 2-14, their second consecutive losing season (and finishing last in the NFC West division for the first time since 1979, ending what had been the NFL's longest active streak for not finishing last in a division).
