One team will get its redemption

The two teams that had their hearts broken will face each other Sunday at the Georgia Dome for a redemptive berth in Super Bowl LI.

No one needs a refresher on what happened to the Packers two years ago, how a 12-point lead and possession of the ball with five minutes to go in Seattle somehow got away in an eventual overtime loss.

Two years prior to that, the Falcons had their own meltdown, leading the 49ers 17-0 at home early in the second quarter and then by 10 points at halftime, only to get shut out in the second half thanks to a pair of turnovers and a final drive that ended 10 yards from the winning touchdown in a four-point defeat.
