The front-running 49ers showed off their comeback ability in their playoff opener
The San Francisco 49ers spent most of the season as dominant front-runners, racing out to early leads and putting teams away with relative ease. The Niners overcame a off night with a late-game touchdown drive that gave them a 24-21 comeback win over the Green Bay Packers in the divisional round on Saturday. Brock Purdy went from shaky to clutch late in the fourth quarter, completing six of seven passes for 47 yards on the game-winning drive that was capped by Christian McCaffrey's 6-yard run with 1:07 to play.
