And in the second half, San Francisco overcame a 17-point deficit by scoring 27 straight to punch its ticket to the Super Bowl, on Sunday in the NFC Championship Game.With the win, the 49ers advance to the Super Bowl for the first time since the 2019 season. It will be San Francisco's eighth appearance in the title game, Dallas Keuchel Jersey  and if they win, it would be their sixth championship, tying them with the and for the most ever.ADVERTISEMENT  After an uneven first half, the 49ers got a gutty performance from quarterback , who finished 20-of-31 for 267 yards and a touchdown. He also had 51 rushing yards on scrambles that kept the chains moving.Purdy was 13-of-16 for 174 yards and a touchdown in the second half."We all knew what we had to do," he said when asked about what was said at halftime in San Francisco's locker room. "The seasons on the line. So, I think everybody stepped up, and we played really good, complementary football from there."San Francisco also benefited from some fortuitous bounces in the second half, including a 51-yard reception by that bounced off the face mask of Detroit cornerback before settling into the talented receiver's hands. That momentum-changing play led to an Aiyuk 6-yard catch for a score two plays later, cutting Detroit's advantage to seven points midway through the third quarter.Dave Helman  Josh Reddick Jersey breaks down 49ers' win over Lions      On the ensuing po se sion, safety stripped Detroit rookie running back of the football and defensive tackle recovered at Detroit's 24-yard line.Four plays later, ran in from a yard out to tie the game at 24-all with 3:04 left in the third quarter. McCaffrey finished with 90 rushing yards on 20 carries and two touchdowns.The  Nolan Ryan Jersey 49ers took the lead for good on a 33-yard field goal with 9:52 left in the game and pushed their lead to 10 with an touchdown run with just over three minutes left. After Lions QB threw a 3-yard touchdown pa s with 56 second remaining to cut the score to 34-31, Niners tight end recovered an onside kick to put the game away.Goff, a Bay Area product, completed 25-of-41 pa ses for 273 pa sing yards, with a touchdown and no interceptions. He is now 0-6 in his past six meetings against the 49ers.Dave Helman and Carmen Vitali break down how Detroit blew a big lead       Detroit bowled over San Francisco's typically stingy defense to the tune of 184 rushing yards. finished with 93 rushing yards, while Gibbs added 45 and scored on a 42-yard reverse on the opening drive."You got two running backs like that, its thunder and lightning," Gipson said. "Gibbs is just lightning fast and Montgomery is a heck of a player. He doesnt get enough credit, obviously. When youve got two guys like that changing pace, its definitely tough."But weve got all-world guys like , and . And once the game finally settled down, we were able to play our brand of football."After struggling to slow down Detroit's explosive offense in the first half, the 49ers twice stopped the Lions on fourth down and held them to just seven points in the second half. Defensive coordinator Steve Wilks made the adjustments at halftime to slow down innovative Detroit offensive coordinator Ben Johnson's scheme.The No. 1 seed in the NFC, San Francisco proved its resiliency once again by winning a game in which it had to come from behind for a second straight week.Brandon Aiyuk after the 49ers' momentous win over the Lions      San Francisco's frontline players like , Bosa, McCaffrey, Aiyuk and Kittle stepped up when the game mattered most in the second half. Samuel finished with eight Preston Tucker Jersey  receptions for 89 yards. Bosa totaled two sacks, four quarterback hits and three combined tackles.

"They have a hell of a coach, hell of a quarterback, hell of a defense. I havent gotten to see them that much this year, because we havent got a whole lot of cro sover tape. But we already have a pretty good idea of how its going to look. Theyve already been doing it for a while. Since we met them in the 2020 Lance McCullers Jersey  Super Bowl , it seems like theyve been there ever since."Weve been trying really hard to get back to that moment. Weve been close a number of times and this time we got it done."Eric D.
