Summary

49ers legends assembled Tuesday night for the premier of a docu-series chronicling San Francisco's rise from NFL anonymity into a dynastic era of success marked by five Lombardi Trophies. On this episode of "49ers Talk," co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss the impact San Francisco's golden era of the 80's and 90's has had on the organization, fanbase and league in general. The duo details how the current iteration of the 49ers can benefit from the foundation set by such transformative players and front office personnel. Matt and Jennifer later touch on former Patriots coach Bill Belichick's first-ballot Hall of Fame snub, and compare the 49ers to their division rivals who last week played in the NFC Championship and break down what steps San Francisco needs to take to match their dominance.
