The reminders continue: it will be all hands on deck and zero tolerance for violence in San Francisco during and after the 49ers' appearance in the Super Bowl.
Super Bowl XLVII will only be played once, and it will be on the field in New Orleans. But with two weeks to fill in between the championship games and the Super Bowl, there's some time to run some numbers.

Joe Flacco has been one of the most criticized quarterbacks in the history of the NFL. And he isn't even 30 yet. That's a pretty impressive feat.

Flacco shows up in big games and gets the job done. It's what makes him elite.
Aldon Smith has not recorded a sack in 5 games, and after recording 19.5 through 13 games, there is of course questions as to why the 49er's single season sack king has failed to get to the quarterback as of late.

In a game where 3 points could mean the difference between a win or a loss, the 49ers hope that Akers is the reliable kicker he has been for most of his career, and not the player as of late, who is anything but consistent. by Jerrell Richardson

The Super Bowl is suppose to be the best two teams in the NFL battling for football supremacy as well as bragging rights. While there may be questions as to if the two best teams from each conference are playing, there is no denying the talented filling both rosters. In a game with so many Pro Bowlers on the field, it's often an unlikely hero that can help swing the outcome of the game in their team's favor. There are several players who can make a name for themselves on Super Bowl Sunday, but the player most likely to do so, is LaMichael James.
