The San Francisco 49ers are heading to the Super Bowl to face the Kansas City Chiefs after they beat the Detroit Lions in a 34-27 thriller on Sunday, coming back to outscore their opponent 27-3 in the second half en route to a victory.
In the win, the 49ers struggled in the first half, especially on the defensive side of the ball, but found a way to pull together consecutive stops and touchdown drives in an improbable second-half comeback.
Defensively, the 49ers managed to get two different fourth-down stands to stop the Lions from scoring in the second half, which could’ve been the difference in the game.
