Frank Gore ran for a pair of second-half touchdowns and the 49ers rebounded from a 17-0 deficit to beat the Atlanta Falcons 28-24 in the NFC championship game Sunday, sending San Francisco to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1995.
San Francisco set an NFC Championship record with a 17-point comeback win by shutting out a Falcons team that put up 24 first half points. What it tells me is that this 49er team can win even when it's not playing its best football.
During the 2011 regular season, the Harbaughs became the only brothers to coach against each other in any NFL game (the Ravens beat the 49ers 16-6 on Thanksgiving Day that year). Now they'll be squaring off with a championship at stake in a Super Bowl
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick seemed to be floating through the hallway of the Georgia Dome on Sunday evening, making his way to the team bus, not a care in the world, the stamp of approval as a big-time quarterback now on his resume.
Bookmakers mostly have the San Francisco 49ers as 5-point favorites over the Ravens in the Super Bowl, amid expectations this could be the heaviest bet title game ever because of a monster matchup that pits brother versus brother.
The 49ers defense needed time to warm up, then shut out the Falcons in the second half and allow San Francisco to stage a record rally in the NFC championship game. Linebacker NaVorro Bowman knocked away a fourth-down pass intended for Roddy White with 1:13 left helped preserve a 28-24 victory.
Eddie DeBartolo, Jr. hasn't owned the San Francisco 49ers for nearly 13 years, but that certainly doesn't mean he's not a fan of the franchise. "This is a warm-up game" for the Super Bowl, Debortolo said from along the sidelines in Atlanta after the 49ers rallied for a 28-24 victory over the Falcons.
Joe Flacco outdueled Tom Brady, throwing three touchdown passes in the second half and leading the Baltimore Ravens to their first Super Bowl in 12 years.

Crowds spilled into the streets in parts of San Francisco's Mission and Excelsior districts Sunday afternoon following the 49ers' 28-24 victory over the Atlanta Falcons in the National Football Conference Championship Game, according to police.
When Billy Cundiff was released this week, the 49ers made it clear that they have confidence in David Akers to makes kicks for the rest of the playoffs. Or it could be that they have less confidence in Cundiff. Either way, the team did the right thing by letting go of Cundiff prior to the team's flight to Atlanta, letting Akers relax and focus on the game and not about being replaced.
Both NFC teams have to be pleased with their injury status' entering the biggest game of the season (so far). With no injuries forcing a player out of action, the NFC Championship will have both teams' full roster on display. There is one defensive playmaker on each side that that will be less then 100% though, and this could be important in a game in which both teams will need as much help as possible to stop their opponent from scoring.
The San Francisco Police Department said Friday night they are investigating 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree in an alleged sexual assault earlier this week.

When the Atlanta Falcons beat the Seattle Seahawks, they earned the first playoff win for both Matt Ryan and Tony Gonzalez. The entire franchise was able to breathe a sigh of relief, but will need to re-focus with San Francisco up next. With the winner heading to the Super Bowl, Atlanta must be careful to not suffer an emotional let down, and will face even more pressure as the stakes have been raised.
Often underappreciated and overlooked around the NFL, Frank Gore has carried the 49ers through good times and mostly bad the last eight seasons.
Four-time Super Bowl Quarterback Joe Montana delivered some news to Atlanta that they didn't want to hear. The San Francisco 49ers legend, in an interview on CBS Radio's 92.9 The Game in Atlanta about the upcoming NFC Championship Game, predicted that the 49ers will go all the way to the Super Bowl.
The Falcons have seen enough in San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick's eight starts to respect the versatile quarterback with the long stride and strong right arm.
Chip Kelly's announcement that he's leaving Oregon for the Philadelphia Eagles is another sign of big changes in NFL offenses. But John Madden said it's too early to say the read-option executed by 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and others will fundamentally alter the NFL.
There are a lot of things that will be needed to slow down the Atlanta Falcons offense in the NFC Championship Game. The 49er secondary will have their hands full chasing Roddy White and Julio Jones around, but the key match-up is going to be NaVorro Bowman and Patrick Willis vs. Tony Gonzalez. There is no doubt that Gonzalez is the greatest ever at the tight end position, but this is a match up that San Francisco can win.
This is the first time Colin Kaepernick has appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated, and the first time a 49er was featured on the cover since Jan. 23, 2012.
The Wall Street Journal reports 49er players have missed far fewer games due to injury over the last two seasons than the other three teams still in the playoffs. Some 49er players and other observers credit a stretching regimen the coaches won't talk about.
