The 1982 San Francisco 49ers season was the franchise's 33rd season in the National Football League and their 37th overall. The team was coming off a Super Bowl victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. However, 1982 was strike-shortened, and only nine games were played. This season was the only one in an 18-season streak in which the 49ers did not win at least 10 games. The worst running game in the league and the defense went from second overall and points in 1981 to 21st & 23rd respectively, the main culprits for the losing season. Joe Montana has another pro bowl caliber year. This 49ers team was also the only team in history to win more than half its road games while losing all its home games.[1] The 49ers were the fifth team in NFL history to enter a season as the defending Super Bowl champion and miss the playoffs.[2]
