NFL GAMEDAY Week 20 SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS @ ATLANTA FALCONS PART 1 AS LITTLE JACK HARBAUGH CAN ATTEST, THESE NFL PLAYOFFS HAVE BECOME A FAMILY AFFAIR… HE AND HIS DAD WENT HEAD TO HEAD HOURS BEFORE IT WAS DECIDED THAT BROTHER WOULD FACE BROTHER IN THE SUPER BOWL. ON HIS WAY TO AN 11 CATCH AFTERNOON, JULIO JONES HELPED THE FALCONS BUILD A 17-POINT LEAD. “BETTER” WOULD DESCRIBE THE RECENT PLAY OF COLLIN KAEPERNICK. BY “ANY LIMBS NECESSARY,” HE RALLIED THE 49ERS. THE „NO-LONGER-FORGOTTEN‟ VERNON DAVIS SET HIMSELF UP FOR SIX. THE FALCONS TOOK A 10-POINT LEAD INTO THE HALF. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS @ ATLANTA FALCONS PART 2 NO TEAM HAD EVER COME BACK FROM A 17-POINT DEFICIT TO WIN AN NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. THE 49ERS MOUNTED THEIR THIRD STRAIGHT SCORING DRIVE OF 80 YARDS OR MORE.// AND AGAIN CLOSED WITHIN THREE. THE FALCONS STILL LED BUT THEIR GRIP WAS SLIPPING. SAN FRANCISCO‟S COMEBACK WAS NEARLY COMPLETE. THE 49ERS GOT ANOTHER CHANCE./ AND THIS TIME, WERE DETERMINED TO POWER AHEAD. Page 1 of 2 BALTIMORE RAVENS @ NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS PART 1 PERFECT POCKETS PROVIDED THE FIRST TOUCHDOWN DRIVE OF THE AFC CHAMPIONSHIP. ON A DRIVE JUST BEFORE HALFTIME TOM BRADY RAN TWICE, AND HIT TWO THINGS HE SHOULDN‟T HAVE. BALTIMORE RAVENS @ NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS PART 2 TOM BRADY WAS 67 AND 0 AT HOME WHEN LEADING AT HALFTIME. BUT THE NFL‟S TOP-RATED OFFENSE WAS BATTLING RAVENS MUSCLE / AND THEIR OWN MISTAKES, INCLUDING A DRIVE KILLER AT THE START OF THE THIRD QUARTER. IN THE SECOND HALF, THE RAVENS ACCELERATED THEIR ATTACK, LEANING ON A QUARTERBACK WHO HAS ELEVATED HIS GAME IN THE PLAYOFFS. (RADIO – PITTA HIT AND TD) THIS POSTSEASON, JOE FLACCO HAS EIGHT TOUCHDOWN PASSES, AND NO INTERCEPTIONS. (RADIO – BOLDIN TD; FUMBLE) FOUR PLAYS AFTER THE FUMBLE RECOVERY, FLACCO EXTENDED BALTIMORE‟S LEAD. (RADIO – BOLDIN TD; “CAN‟T RELAX ON BRADY FOR A SECOND”) BUT THIS WASN‟T VINTAGE TOM BRADY. FOR MUCH OF THE GAME, HE WAS OUT OF SYNC, AND OFF TARGET. (RADIO – 4TH DOWN INCOMPLETION; FLACCO SIDELINE) WITH EACH DEFENSIVE STAND, THE RAVENS WERE A STEP CLOSER TO NEW ORLEANS. (RADIO – ELLERBEE INT.; CLINCHING INT.) THEY HAVE BEEN SO CLOSE, SO MANY SEASONS. // NOW, THIS GROUP OF RAVENS THAT HAS BEEN CHASING A CHAMPIONSHIP, CAN FINALLY END THAT CHASE IN THE SUPER BOWL.
