The San Francisco 49ers held serve at home, beating the Minnesota Vikings 27-10 at Levi's Stadium on Saturday in the NFC Divisional Round.

The 49ers are in the NFC Championship Game for the first time since 2013, the last of their three straight trips to the conference title round.

Minnesota's wait for a first Super Bowl title extends for another season. One playoff win probably isn't the return the Vikings expected through the first two years of Kirk Cousins' three-year, $84 million contract.

The 49ers took an early lead with a three-yard touchdown reception by Kendrick Bourne on their first drive of the game.
