1974 San Francisco 49ers

The 1974 San Francisco 49ers season was the team's 25th in the National Football League. They began the season hoping to improve on their previous years' output of 5-9, and return the playoffs, but a seven game losing streak lead the team to a 6-8 record.

Top Players
Quarterback Steve Spurrier was injured early in the season, so the Niners scrambled to find a starter. Tom Owen played the most, with Joe Reed and Dennis Morrison also seeing playing time, but the most effective quarterback was veteran Norm Snead. But Snead also suffered injuries, too. Vic Washington was the leading rusher, tight end Ted Kwalick the leading receiver, and placekicker Bruce Gossett the top scorer, with 105 points.
