SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The San Francisco 49ers are still alive in their quest for a sixth Lombardi Trophy. Barely.
The 49ers overcame a 17-point halftime deficit to the Detroit Lions, as third-quarter heroics by wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk and quarterback Brock Purdy helped San Francisco rally to a 34-31 victory over Detroit in the NFC Championship Game, denying the Lions their first-ever Super Bowl appearance.
Christian McCaffrey also scored twice for the 49ers, who will play the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII on Feb.
