YOUR San Francisco 49ers are playing in Los Angeles next Sunday for a shot to represent the NFC in Super Bowl 56. Yes, you read that right, the very same 49ers that were boat raced at home by a Colt McCoy led Arizona Cardinals team, and who sat at 3-5 at the midpoint of the season will play the Rams in Los Angeles in what will be their 5th conference title game since 2011.
To get there, the 49ers had to march into the unofficial cathedral of NFL football at Lambeau Field on a blistering cold January evening and outlast the number one seed on their home turf in a game that the 49ers remarkably never held a lead during regulation in.
