| 49ers Defeat Saints 36-32 In Wild Playoff Thriller Vernon Davis' 14-yard touchdown reception with 9 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter lifted San Francisco to a wild 36-32 victory over the New Orleans Saints on Saturday. The Saints took the lead on a 66-yard touchdown reception by Jimmy Graham with 1:37 remaining. Alex Smith's 28-yard touchdown run 34 seconds earlier had lifted San Francisco to a 29-24 lead. San Francisco, which took advantage of five New Orelans' turnovers, built an early 17-0 lead but had to rally back after the Saints took at 24-23 lead on a Darren Sproles touchdown reception with 4:02 left in the fourth quarter. The 49ers will play the winner of Sunday's New York Giants-Green Bay game in the NFC championship on Jan. 22. Source: Associated Press |
