Kyle Shanahan the day following his team's lo s in LIV. Despite holding a 20-10 lead with half a quarter remaining, Shanahan's surrendered 21 unanswered points to MVP and the , who won their first Super Bowl in 50 years while keeping the 49ers at five Super Bowl wins in the proce s. Shanahan, who lost Super Bowl LI as a member of the ' coaching staff, does not believe it will be hard for his team to rebound from Sunday's lo s." Bouncing back ," Shanahan told media after the game, via Pro Football Talk. "We'll lick our wounds, we'll get over this. We'll be fired up for next Kyle Freeland Jersey year. We got a lot of people coming back."I think we surprised a lot of people this year. We knew we had a really good team. I'm very proud of the guys and how much better they got throughout this year, and I expect to get almost all of these guys back and plan on adding a few more."We're going to rest a little bit, get over this, but we'll be very fired up for next year." History suggests that the 49ers' road back to the Super Bowl may be daunting. Only eight teams in history -- the 1971 Cowboys, '72 , the '73 Vikings, the '87 Broncos, the 1991-93 and the 2018 -- have returned to the Super Bowl the year after losing the Big Game. And out of those teams, only the '71 Cowboys, '72 Dolphins and '18 Patriots were able to hoist the Lombardi Trophy a year after being on the short end of the Super Bowl scoreboard.While getting back to the Super Bowl has proven to be a daunting task for the Super Bowl runner-up, simply making it back to the playoffs is also not a guarantee, as several recent runner-ups have failed to qualify for the postseason the year after playing in the Big Game. Here's a look at how the previous 10 Super Bowl runner-ups fared during the following season. The 2010 After winning 14 regular season games en route to an appearance in Super Bowl XLIV, the Colts slipped to a 10-6 record in 2010. While the Colts' offense, led Nolan Arenado Jersey by future Hall of Fame quarterback , was even better in '10 than it was in '09, the Colts' defense was in rapid decline, as they went from 8th to 23rd in total defense. Indianapolis was particularly bad against the run, ranking 25th in the league in that department during the regular season. The Colts' i sues against the run came to a head during the team's wild-card matchup with Rex Ryan's . While the Indianapolis defense held the Jets to just 16 points, they were unable to contain Jets running backs LaDainian Tomlinson and , who combined to rush for 152 yards on 35 carries while helping the Jets control the clock for over 33 minutes. Conversely, the Jets' defense held the Colts to under 100 yards rushing while also holding Manning to just 225 pa sing yards. After losing to the Colts the previous year in the AFC title game, the Jets left Indianapolis with a 17-16 win in what would be Manning's final game as a Colt. Manning would mi s the entire 2011 season with an injury, as the Colts won just two games Colorado Rockies Jersey before drafting with the first overall pick in the 2012 draft. The 2011 Despite going 12-4, the Steelers, who fell to the 31-25 in Super Bow LIV, had to play in the wild card round after finishing behind the in the AFC North division standings. Facing the 8-8 in the first round of the playoffs, the Steelers were famously defeated in overtime on Tim Tebow's 80-yard touchdown pa s to . The Steelers, who had appeared in three of the previous six Super Bowls, would mi s the playoffs in 2012-13 before returning to the postseason in 2014. While the Steelers boasted the league's top-ranked defense during the 2011 season, Pittsburgh's offense was just 21st in scoring. A late-season injury to also hurt Pittsburgh's championship hopes, as Big Ben was clearly not anywhere close to 100% health during the Steelers' wild-card lo s to Denver. The hits on Roethlisberger -- as well as the offense's dip in production -- led Pittsburgh's bra s to not renew offensive coordinator Bruce Arians' contract that offseason while replacing him with Todd Haley. While Roethlisberger went onto enjoy some of his best statistical seasons with Haley, the Steelers have appeared it just one AFC Championship Game since their last trip to the Super Bowl. The 2012 Patriots Unlike the Colts and Steelers, the Patriots would make another deep playoff run a year after falling short in the Super Bowl. Led by quarterback and third-year tight end Rob Gronkowski, the Patriots would win 12 games during the regular season on the strength of their top-ranked scoring offense. After putting 41 points up on the in the divisional round, the Patriots would host the Ravens in the AFC Championship Game for a second straight year. But after taking a 13-7 lead into intermi sion, the Patriots would get shut out during the second half, as three touchdown pa ses led the Ravens to a 28-13 victory. While credit should be given to the Ravens, the Patriots were clearly impacted by the lo s of Gronkowski, who was inactive after breaking his forearm the previous week against the Texans.While the Ravens would go on to defeat the 49ers in the Super Bowl, the Patriots would lose in the AFC title game again in 2013 before making it back to the Super Bowl in 2014. The 2013 49ers A year after falling just short in Super Bowl XLVII, the 49ers showed virtually no drop off in 2013, winning 12 regular season games while boasting the league's third-ranked scoring Chad Bettis Jersey defense. After scoring 23 points their playoff wins over the Packers and , the 49ers' offense scored just 17 points in their six-point lo s to Seattle in the NFC Championship Game. While 49ers quarterback gashed the ' defense on the ground (rushing for 130 yards on 11 carries), his two interceptions, including his infamous end zone interception with 30 seconds left, loomed large in the 49ers' 23-17 lo s. While their defense was still one of the league's best in 2014, the 49ers regre sed dramatically on the offensive side of the ball, ranking just 25th in scoring and 28th in red zone efficiency. San Francisco slipped to 8-8 in 2014, mi sing the playoffs in what was John Harbaugh's final season with the team. The 49ers won just seven games over the next two seasons before the franchise brought in Shanahan and GM John Lynch in 2017.2014 Broncos After an embarra sing blowout lo s to the Seahawks in Super Bowl XLVIII, Manning and the Broncos showed their resolve by winning 12 regular season games in 2014. Manning enjoyed another prolific season, while Denver's defense improved from 22nd to 16th in points allowed. But despite their defensive improvement, the Jake McGee Jersey Broncos' defense was still not good enough to stop Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, who led the Colts to an upset win over Denver in the divisional round. The Broncos' lo s was a team effort, however, as Manning completed just 56.5% of his throws in Denver's 24-13 lo s. The Broncos' defense saw a rapid improvement in 2015, as Broncos GM John Elway replaced former defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio with Wade Phillips. Whil
