The 49ers were an All-America Football Conference powerhouse in 1948 led by quarterback Frankie Albert. The former great Stanford ran 17 yards for a score against New York and threw touchdown passes to Alyn Beals, John Strzykalski and Paul Crowe. Over 60,000 fans crammed into Kezar Stadium to watch the action. San Francisco set a 12-2 record in 1948, but finished second in AFC West behind rival Cleveland Browns.
