That was 1957 when they lost the NFL Championship game to the Detroit Lions, 31-27. Their first ever appearance in the playoffs was 1949 when they were playing in the All American Football Conference. They defeated the New York Yankees, 17-7, in the semi-final game and then lost to the Cleveland Browns, 21-7, in the championship game. The AAFC disbanded after the 1949 season and the 49ers joined the NFL for the 1950 season.
