San Francisco 49ers

Few franchises have been as intertwined over the last quarter-century as the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers.

The excitement has been building all weekend.

The mayors' bet is more of a challenge. Both plan to volunteer in their communities regardless of Sunday's game outcome, but the mayor of the losing team must do so while wearing the colors of the winning team.

Buyer beware: 49ers ticket scammers and merchandise counterfeiters will be preying on unsuspecting fans this weekend.

Business is expected to be booming in the South Bay this week in anticipation of the NFC Championship game.

With a victory in the NFC championship game at home on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, the Niners will become the second team in NFL history to make the Super Bowl a year after losing at least 12 games.

For the Blue Chip Sports Lounge in San Jose, the NFC Championship Game is already a big win.

Lynch was honored for his role in helping transform the 49ers from a four-win season in 2018 to a 13-3 record this past season. San Francisco earned the top seed in the NFC for the first time since 1997 and is playing Green Bay in the NFC championship game on Sunday.

Players Ben Garland, Damontre Moore, Dontae Johnson and Daniel Brunskill tutored students at San Antonio Elementary School in San Jose Tuesday and talked about the importance of reading.

Tickets to the NFC Championship game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Green Bay Packers are officially sold out. 

The Niners ran for 186 yards and completely shut down Minnesota’s offense in a 27-10 victory in the divisional round Saturday in San Francisco’s first playoff game in six years.

The Niners (14-3) first playoff game in six seasons and first ever at Levi's Stadium turned into a lopsided one as top-seeded San Francisco turned a pair of second-half turnovers by Minnesota (11-7) into 10 points.
