49ers book first Super Bowl trip in 18 years

[2013year]

    ATLANTA -- Make way Joe Montana and Steve Young. Colin Aldon Smith White Jersey Kaepernick is leading a brash new group of 49ers to the Super Bowl. Frank Gore scored a pair of second-half touchdowns and San francisco, after falling behind 17-0 by the first play of the second quarter, pulled off a record rally for a 28-24 victory over the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC championship game Sunday. Kaepernick didn't put up the same dazzling numbers he did in the divisional Aldon Smith Black Jersey playoff against Green Bay. But he was solid enough to justify coach Jim Harbaugh's decision to bench Alex Smith and go with the youngster. The 49ers' defense did its part, shutting out Atlanta in the second half and making a big stop in the final two minutes. San francisco (13-4-1) moves on to face either New England or Baltimore at New Orleans in two weeks and will try Aldon Smith Red Jersey to join Pittsburgh as the only franchises with six Super Bowl titles. It could be a brother-vs. -brother matchup, too, since John Harbaugh coaches the Ravens. "This is what we play for. We play for this moment, " said 49ers tight end Vernon Davis, who hauled in a touchdown pass from Kaepernick. "We put in all the hard work and get the opportunity to play on the big Colin Kaepernick White Jersey stage. So, it's not about me. It's all about the team. "Montana led the 49ers to four Super Bowls wins and Young took them to No. 5. It's up to Kaepernick to get No. 6 when the 49ers play in the NFL title game for the first time since 1995. The second-year quarterback who runs like a track star guided San francisco on a pair of second-half scoring Colin Kaepernick Black Jersey drives that wiped out Atlanta's 24-14 lead at the break. Gore scored on a 5-yard run early in the third quarter, then sprinted in from 9 yards out for the winning score with 8: 23 remaining after both teams made crucial mistakes to ruin potential scoring drives. Both times, the Falcons had to worry about Kaepernick running it himself out of the spread option, and they barely even Colin Kaepernick Red Jersey touched Gore on either of his scoring drives. The 49ers pulled off the biggest comeback victory in an NFC championship game, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The previous NFC record was 13 points -- Atlanta's victory over Minnesota in the 1999 title game, which sent the Falcons to what remains the only Super Bowl in franchise history.
