Add that in to the absurd catch Jauan Jennings made - David Tyree style, plus the bounce-off-facemask catch by Aiyuk and this team was able to overcome a Lions team that despite all the adversity and bad luck, fought to the very end. All the props to Brock and the 49ers. What a performance! One of the best NFC Title games ever, IMO

@cperry7267ANBFPro I understand what you mean. It's like the guy who laid out the idea of always going for a 2-point conversion after every TD scored, because statistically if you miss, you can always make a few points up with a field goal. So the best thing would be to become good at converting those plays. That would be good for any team if their success rate was 95% and up. However, no team has ever, or will ever play like that.

You’re wrong you’re so wrong. These “gambles” are always judged based on results not the wisdom of the decision itself. You remember the “Philly Special”? That was on its face one of the stupidest gambled of all time in a Super Bowl. Snapping it to a RB who pitched to a TE who threw it to a QB running a route? That’s idiotic and stupid. The only reason it’s called one of the most amazing play calls ever is because it worked. Sean Payton onside kick was objectively dumb. If it doesn’t work you give Peyton Manning a short field to go score easily. It’s known as super courageous because the Saints recovered it. Yes Dan Campbell is bold but that’s what got the lions here there’s no reason to stop now. If they had not gone for those 4th downs and the 49ers still win DC would’ve been clowned as shrinking in the moment and going away from the strategy that brought Detroit here to begin with. Yes the calls were risky no doubt but they were good plays that simply didn’t work out.

You’re wrong you’re so wrong. These “gambles” are always judged based on results not the wisdom of the decision itself. You remember the “Philly Special”? That was on its face one of the stupidest gambled of all time in a Super Bowl. Snapping it to a RB who pitched to a TE who threw it to a QB running a route? That’s idiotic and stupid. The only reason it’s called one of the most amazing play calls ever is because it worked. Sean Payton onside kick was objectively dumb. If it doesn’t work you give Peyton Manning a short field to go score easily. It’s known as super courageous because the Saints recovered it. Yes Dan Campbell is bold but that’s what got the lions here there’s no reason to stop now. If they had not gone for those 4th downs and the 49ers still win DC would’ve been clowned as shrinking in the moment and going away from the strategy that brought Detroit here to begin with. Yes the calls were risky no doubt but they were good plays that simply didn’t work out. Stop playing MMQB and give DC credit for taking chances keeping his foot on the pedal and giving his franchise a chance to win in the end

The San Francisco 49ers were in the NFC Championship last season. They lost Brock Purdy to injury and they failed to make the Super Bowl. One year later, they’re in a 24-7 hole. This looked like a Lions win, but Brock Purdy made some clutch throws, the defense got a takeaway, and the Lions failed 4th down conversions gave the game away. The Lions were so close in reaching their first Super Bowl, but they couldn’t get it done. The 49ers win sets up another match with the Chiefs, whom they lost to in Super Bowl 54. Four years later, they meet again.

[@richardpotter712]

Going for it on 4th and 3. Stupid decision with what was on the line.

[@andrewg.3281]

​@daviegriffin3539 Hard disagree. 2 and 3 are definitely doable so it's not like it was obvious it wouldn't work or anything. The first one was admittedly far too risky in my opinion, but it's not like doing that one is stupid or anything. Would have been better to just grow the lead with a field goal, but they were up 14 so it wasn't too bad. The second on tho was definitely a good play to make. A field goal would have tied it up, but then it goes to the 49ers and they could just get another field goal to win. The touchdown there would have given them enough leeway so they would win even with another field goal from the 49ers.

I’m from a Rugby playing nation and saw they didn’t go for that first field goal in the 3rd qtr and I said straight away “you idiots!” Came back to bite them in the backside alright.

What a comeback. And in their own stadium. The utter excitement must from the crowd must have been through the roof.

I've been rooting for the Niners for quite a while and really hope they destroy Mahomes&Co...... did Campbell know something that we didn't before that 3Q 4th&2 attempt??? the Niners had scored 10 points for 2 1/2 quarters!! the game might have been essentially over with a successful FG, absolutely inexplicable 😮😢

There is no roof in that stadium

Brock Purdy as Mr. Irrelevant going to the SB for his 2nd years is crazy after loss to Eagles last year due to injured.

Hats off to the 49ers they didn't fold even when things didn't go their way. That's the mark of championship DNA.

As of 49er fan.. I got to give so much respect to the Detroit Lions, you guys had a great season and a bright future and as for the 49ers.... I couldn't be any more proud for our 49ers... The road to the super bowl wasn't easy and the second time in the playoffs they make it come back win.... Now we have a rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs who are a very talented football team and it will take almost to play a perfect football game against it the Kansas City Chiefs....
