NFC Championship Game Photo Gallery: San Francisco 49ers are Super Bowl-bound
The San Francisco 49ers have shocked the world (or at least Atlanta)
No one ever said it was going to be easy. Pee wee football players dream of winning a championship, but very, very few understand the type of one-pointed drive and unending determination it takes to simply earn the right to play for the Lombardi Trophy.
On Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers, led by all-everything second year quarterback Colin Kaepernick and a defense that takes no prisoners, came back from a 17-0 deficit to beat the Atlanta Falcons in the Georgia Dome.
Kaepernick completed an uber-efficient 16-of-21 passes for 233 yards and a touchdown. He made headlines with his legs against the Packers in the conference semifinals, but he only needed two rushes for 21 yards to help lead the way in this one.
The franchise's career leader in rushing yards, Frank Gore, piled up 90 rush yards on 21 carries and two scores. His backup, LaMichael James, scored his first career postseason touchdown as well.
After giving up those 24 first-half points, the stout San Francisco defense held quarterback Matt Ryan and Co. scoreless the rest of the way, proving their championship mettle.
And sending the Niners to their first Super Bowl berth in 18 years.

On Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers, led by all-everything second year quarterback Colin Kaepernick and a defense that takes no prisoners, came back from a 17-0 deficit to beat the Atlanta Falcons in the Georgia Dome.
Kaepernick completed an uber-efficient 16-of-21 passes for 233 yards and a touchdown. He made headlines with his legs against the Packers in the conference semifinals, but he only needed two rushes for 21 yards to help lead the way in this one.
The franchise's career leader in rushing yards, Frank Gore, piled up 90 rush yards on 21 carries and two scores. His backup, LaMichael James, scored his first career postseason touchdown as well.
After giving up those 24 first-half points, the stout San Francisco defense held quarterback Matt Ryan and Co. scoreless the rest of the way, proving their championship mettle.
And sending the Niners to their first Super Bowl berth in 18 years.
This team is officially Super Bowl-bound
No one ever said it was going to be easy. Pee wee football players dream of winning a championship, but very, very few understand the type of one-pointed drive and unending determination it takes to simply earn the right to play for the Lombardi Trophy.
