The San Francisco 49ers made history on Sunday night.
After falling behind 24-7 to the Detroit Lions at halftime of the NFC Championship Game, the 49ers became the first team to overcome a seemingly insurmountable second half deficit.
San Francisco opened the second half with 27 consecutive points to take a 34-24 lead, en route to the 31-34 victory. Their 17-point comeback is the largest halftime deficit overcome in a conference title game. It is also tied for third-largest comeback victory in conference championship history.
