admin
The San Francisco 49ers produced a exciting fightback to set up a Super Bowl rematch with the Kansas City Chiefs in Las Vegas.
Defending champions Kansas City won the first of Sunday’s Conference Championship games, beating the Baltimore Ravens 17-10 to reach the NFL’s big game for a fourth time in five years.It took four years and a historic Sunday comeback — but the Niners finally made good on Kittle’s promise.But the veteran-led Niners didn’t bow out, sparked by receiver Brandon Aiyuk’s 51-yard catch off a deflection from Lions cornerback Kindle Vildor’s helmet, and rattled off 17 points in an eight-minute span to tie the game. The Niners took their first lead with 9:52 left on a 33-yard field goal from kicker Jake Moody to make it 27-24.With their stunning 34-31 come-from-behind win against the Detroit Lions in Sunday’s NFC Championship Game, the 49ers are not only returning to the Super Bowl but will get a chance to avenge that loss to the Chiefs on Feb. 11 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
