The San Francisco 49ers were not going to be denied. Despite facing a 17-point deficit at the halftime of the NFC Championship Game against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, the 49ers managed to rally back and claim a 34-31 win that will see them return to the Super Bowl.

The 49ers will now face Kansas City in Super Bowl LVIII, a rematch between the two teams that faced each other in Super Bowl LIV.

Despite entering the game as big favorites, the 49ers quickly got picked apart by the Lions’ high-octane offense. The Detroit team scored two touchdowns in the first quarter and added 10 more points in the second. Meanwhile, San Francisco managed to put just seven points on the board to finish the half down 24-7.

However, the second half saw a completely different game. The 49ers came out on the field with new-found resilience, and it immediately got them going. After scoring a field goal on their first drive of the third quarter, their second drive finished with quarterback Brock Purdy finding wideout Brandon Aiyuk in the endzone to make it a one-possession game.

From that point onward, the 49ers got into a rhythm, scoring on three more consecutive possessions.

Their defense also stepped up, closing the lanes for the Lions and keeping them scoreless for much of the second half.

The Lions managed to punch in another touchdown to make it 34-31 with less than a minute left of the clock. However, Detroit’s onside kick failed, allowing the 49ers to run down the clock and keep their Super Bowl hopes alive.

“The guys didn’t want today to be the last day,” said 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan after the game.

The 49ers are now looking for their first Super Bowl win since 1994. They have made two Super Bowls since then but lost in both.

The San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams is expected to be activated in time to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Listed as questionable, Williams returned to practice on Thursday and Friday on a limited basis.

Williams suffered a right ankle sprain during the Week 6 19-17 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Although 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed that the player is not dealing with a high ankle sprain, the injury cannot be considered a low sprain due to the left tackle’s history of injuries to the right ankle.

Jaylon Moore, who played during the last two games in Williams’ stead, is expected to start should the injured left tackle not recover sufficiently in time to play against the Jaguars.

Sources have confirmed that the Washington Commanders traded Chase Young to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for a third-round draft pick. 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said general manager John Lynch had been working on bolstering the roster but was unsure of whether players would be interested in joining a team on a three-game losing streak.

“If we think there is a chance to improve us, we’ll do it,” Shanahan explained. “It doesn’t sound like there’s a lot of options out there but doesn’t mean for sure no. I know we’ll look up that all the way up to the deadline and see if anything changes.”

Young’s injury issues discouraged the Commanders from picking up his fifth-year option. The defensive end missed this season’s opening game due to a neck injury and tore his ACL and ruptured his patellar tendon in 2021.

The San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy may clear concussion protocol in time to play in Sunday’s clash with the Cincinnati Bengals. After participating in practice in a limited capacity on Thursday, Purdy was cleared to do full team training on Friday.

While Purdy is officially listed as questionable for Sunday’s game, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan explained that he could feature if he passes the final step of concussion protocol on Saturday. “That’s the last thing he’s got to do. Just one step left … He was full go today; he’s just got to pass that tomorrow,” Shanahan explained.

Purdy will need to be cleared for full contact by a Niners team physician as well as examined by an independent neurological consultant. Both the independent neurological consultant and the team physician will have to agree that Purdy’s concussion has been resolved in order for the quarterback to play in Sunday’s game.

The San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey could be fit in time to play for his team against the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night, league sources familiar with the matter revealed late on Tuesday.

McCaffrey suffered an oblique/rib injury during the 49ers’ loss to the Cleveland Browns last Sunday. Injured during the third quarter, the running back returned to the field for one more play after going down injured. After a six-yard run with just three minutes left on the clock, McCaffrey was forced off the field yet again, this time leaving for the locker room before being ruled out of the final quarter entirely.

After undergoing an MRI on Monday, it was determined that the 27-year-old player’s injury was not as bad as first feared, ruling out the likelihood of a long-term absence. This development comes as left tackle Trent Williams and wide receiver Deebo Samuel both look to make their returns to the team on Monday night after suffering injuries of their own.

It appears that running back Raheem Mostert might have a future with San Francisco 49ers after all. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Mostert and 49ers’ organization talked and cleared the air regarding the player’s recent trade talks.

Back in early July, Mostert asked for a trade from 49ers after unsuccessful talks about an improved contract. The 28-year-old’s agent Brett Tessler said at the time that the decision was made after “months of unproductive talks” between two sides.

However, things changed in recent weeks as Mostert and “high-ranking member” of the 49ers organization had a conversation about resolving the issue. When reached out for comment, Tessler also expressed optimism about the matter.

Raheem Mostert had a breakthrough season in 2019, leading the 49ers with 772 rushing yards and eight touchdowns. He was also exceptional in the postseason, helping the team to a Super Bowl appearance by rushing for 336 yards and five TDs.

Based on this, Mostert decided to ask for an adjustment of his $2.57 million base salary he is set to earn in 2020. The 49ers’ highest-paid RB at the moment is Tevin Coleman, who is scheduled to receive $4.55 million this year.
