Niner Noise goes back deep through the San Francisco 49ers archives and ranks out the top 10 NFL playoff moments the Niners have had in their storied history.

The San Francisco 49ers are no strangers to great playoff moments.

During that stretch 49ers fans have been treated to some special moments.

Niner Noise digs deep into franchise history to uncover and rank the 10 best single moments in team playoff history. These aren’t games, of which there are many too, rather specific plays where San Francisco added to its postseason lore.
