Editing Super Bowl XXIX (section)

==Aftermath==
As of the 2023 season, this is the only Super Bowl played between teams based in the same state.{{efn|Four years prior to this game, [[Super Bowl XXV]] was played between the [[New York Giants]] and the [[Buffalo Bills]].  Although both teams brand themselves as a team from a major city in the state of [[New York (state)|New York]], the Giants were (and still are) based just across the New York/New Jersey state line in [[East Rutherford, New Jersey|East Rutherford]].}}

It is also the most recent Super Bowl title to date for the 49ers. They would play in three more in the 21st Century ([[Super Bowl XLVII]], [[Super Bowl LIV]] and [[Super Bowl LVIII]]), but lost all of them.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Super Bowl XLVII - Baltimore Ravens vs. San Francisco 49ers - February 3rd, 2013 |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201302030sfo.htm |access-date=2024-06-17 |website=[[Pro Football Reference]] |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Super Bowl LIV - San Francisco 49ers vs. Kansas City Chiefs - February 2nd, 2020 |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/202002020kan.htm |access-date=2024-06-17 |website=[[Pro Football Reference]] |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Super Bowl LVIII - San Francisco 49ers vs. Kansas City Chiefs - February 11th, 2024 |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/202402110kan.htm |access-date=2024-06-17 |website=[[Pro Football Reference]] |language=en}}</ref>

As for the Chargers, the implications of their defeat were far worse in hindsight. This remains the only Super Bowl the Chargers have ever played in. Including the era before the [[AFL–NFL merger]], it is [[1965 American Football League Championship Game|the third championship game]] that the Chargers have lost. The [[1963 American Football League playoffs|AFL Championship in 1963]] remains to this day as the only major sports championship the city of San Diego has won (and also the longest championship drought for any city that has at least two major sports franchises), so even though they were heavy underdogs, the loss still had great significance.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Dwyer |first=Courtney |date=January 18, 2010 |title=Are San Diego Sports Teams Cursed? |url=http://www.sandiego6.com/mostpopular/story/Are-San-Diego-Sports-Teams-Cursed/p9gpzJyNPEWgxpIADJhOSA.cspx |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716002728/http://www.sandiego6.com/mostpopular/story/Are-San-Diego-Sports-Teams-Cursed/p9gpzJyNPEWgxpIADJhOSA.cspx |archive-date=July 16, 2011 |access-date=July 1, 2010 |website=San Diego 6}}</ref><ref name=autogenerated1>{{cite web|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1032492/4/index.htm|title=Thirteen years after missing a Super Bowl-winning field – 07.12.04 – SI Vault<!-- Bot generated title -->|access-date=January 15, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222080019/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1032492/4/index.htm|archive-date=February 22, 2014|url-status=dead}}</ref> The Chargers did not win another playoff game until the [[2007 San Diego Chargers season|2007 season]], when they reached the AFC Championship Game but lost to the then-[[2007 New England Patriots season|undefeated New England Patriots]], 21–12. Super Bowl XXIX would be their only appearance while playing in San Diego before they moved to Los Angeles following the 2016 season.
