The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Green Bay Packers 37-20 to receive NFC Championship trophy and head to Super Bowl LIV in Miami to take on the AFC-champion Kansas City Chiefs.
Offensively, Raheem Mostert became the only player in NFL playoff history to run for four touchdowns and over 200 yards. His 220 yards (29 carries) were second only to Eric Dickerson’s record of 248 yards for the 1985 Los Angeles Rams. Mostert benefited from absolutely dominant blocking while showcasing his elite vision and speed (21.87 mph on his first touchdown run).
Defensively, the 49ers posted a first-half shutout (27-0), and that was just enough to offset a second-half scoring surge from Aaron Rodgers, the Cal product who fell to 0-3 in playoff action against his childhood team.
Now it’s on to Miami — specifically, Miami Gardens — and Hard Rock Stadium, which was known as Joe Robbie Stadium when the 49ers won Super Bowls there on Jan. 29, 1995 (over the San Diego Chargers, 49-26) and on Jan. 22, 1989 (over the Cincinnati Bengals, 22-16).
