sunday night. i am sara donchey alongside my friend vern glenn. wow! vern, a lot of us woke up saying did that really happen? >> it is not supposed to be easy. this is my 6th super bowl. we have seen blown leads, we all have. i would of loved to have been a fly on the wall in that 9ers locker room at halftime because through the first two quarters of the game it did not look there were any answers. but i have been around the game a long time and to know a play or two, a couple fourth down decisions can flip a game. what happened? well, the 49ers, a race, a franchise second biggest playoff deficit are headed to the second super bowl in the last five seasons. 34/31 over the lions, this was not a movie. and there was no big halftime speech. >> we just kept fighting, man.

they got off to a hot start. you know, hats off to them. but, you go there at halftime, down 17 and win or go home situation what else is there to talk about? it is all about making playsa the that point. you do it or go home. >> i think we are pissed off. the first half was not just that we were down 17 it was the way that we would have been down. that would have been a rough way to end it. i was so proud of the guys. they did not care about anything but finding a way to win. >> yeah, great teams find a way to win. now, vegas, the sports books, they have the 49ers as a 1-1/2 point favorite to hoist the lombardi trophy as super bowl champs, if you can believe that. >> i know you have been talking on tv all day. this is the first time you are here on the 11:00 since this happened. how are you feeling at the end of the first half? >> i was concerned. i would be lying if i wasn't. i was

curious as to why they were not who they really are that we seen in the regular season. somehow, again, momentum changes. the 49ers took advantage. >> did they ever. >> outscoring the lions in the second half. >> you say all that matters in the end is. >> one point better than the other guy. that is all that matters >> vern we will have a lot to talk about over the next couple of days and we are going to do all of that, thank you very much. that was the scene in north beach last night when the 9ers purchased their ticket. fans spilled on to the streets from the nearby bars and kenny choi shows us over the next two weeks those bars will celebrate every bit as much as the fans. >> local bars are still desperate to hire and get back to pre-covid levels, the latest run for 49ers is fun for fans and a big boom for business.. >> reporter: taking over the pub nearly 30 years ago. it was

not long before the 9ers captured another super bowl ring. >> it was a big deal. i thought we were going to have super bowls every year. get to the super bowl but we lost a few. >> reporter: that was 1955, the 5th title. since then, he has a collection. he got to know the old timers that used to stop by and once played across the street at the 49ers first home. the success of the new niner gang is a boom for local sports bar and employees. >> i do see that on game days a lot of the bars around here do better as well because of the spin off from here. >> reporter: amy donovan has been working here for a little more than a year. >> people closeout their checks in a little happier fashion than when they lose. i say we make double the money than on another sunday. >> people tend to get exoited and spend more money and -- get whited and spend more money and buy drinks for their friends

and buy more food. it has been good. >> reporter: business jumps 40% for a big 9ers game. the super bowl will draw in more fans >> it is crazy 49er fans, yes. it is pumped. i love coming here for sporting events. >> reporter: butler say season ticket holder that went to the championship game with the lions but will not head to vegas. >> i would love to, after the game i looked and for the worst seats that is $8 or $9,000. that is ridiculous. >> reporter: that will mean a trip to the local bar for many fans >> this is the year let's hope. i think it might be the year. >> reporter: it is a win/win for pubs banking on the niners >> maybe the best way to capture the emotional roller coaster than fans went on last night is to show you two live interviews that our reporter da lin did with the same fan an hour apart. this is how matthew was feeling with the 9ers down >> i am thinking we need to play a lot better in the second

half. >> optimistic about a turnaround for the second half? >> i am always optimistic. a comeback is fun to watch but it is hard to live through. we will see what happens at the end of two more quarters >> that was an optimistic take. it turns out he only had to wait one quarter, he checked back in with him a few minutes after the 9ers tied. >> this is what we came for! [ cheers and applause ] . >> we are red hot right now. this is absolutely, everyone is feeling it. the energy is amazing >> that was not even an extreme example in the beginning. he was upbeat. in santa collar a fans back at levi's to get championship merchandise. diehard fan jesse mendez has been to a lot of games at levi's but thinks sundays was the best he has seen. >> i stopped screaming and tucked it all in. just

enormous, it was enormous, it was, it was unreal how loud and just the stadium was rocking. it was crazy. >> mendez says he can not wait to see how the faithful turn out for vegas in super bowl sunday. >> and 9ers fans were out in force last night. this was the scene at the west gate sports book in vegas when fans realized the team was heading their way. if you are hoping to see the big game in person, though, right here at allegiant stadium. brace yourself, the cheap seats were going for $7,000 to $8,000. the good ones are $30,000 to $50,000. that is not the flight or the hotel stay. >> we have a special with circus circus. these are the ones that are very close to the walk way to the stadium where you can do a walk through at

$960 for person including airfare. it will give you hotel and stay for three nights. friday to monday. >> that is still a lot of money, too. local travel agencies in san francisco say they have been busy helping fans get the best travel packages possible for vegas. some agents tell us the most faithful fans actually started booking weeks ago just in case their team won. one person who was already in vegas, hopefully partying at this hour, reid, he will be reporting live all weeklong on the morning edition right here on cbs news pay area. a wild ride through downtown l.a. as a woman clings to the hood of a speeding car. >> i did not know how it was going to end. i really thought i was going to plummet to my death. >> she put herself there on purpose but she had a reason. plus, how a small peninsula restaurant became a go-to hang

out for 49ers players, staffers and eventually fans. record warm temperatures across the bay area yesterday and today. things are about to change. a wind advisory in effect wednesday and wednesday night and a flood watch for the entire bay area. also wednesday, wednesday night as the latest atmospheric river will be heading our way. tracking that in the first alert forecast. later, a smaller big game. the pint size pup named after a niner's star representing northern california.

. tonight, a third body has been pulled from the water off of half moon bay near the site of where a small homebuilt plane crashed earlier this month. investigators have not confirmed this was one of the four people on board. the bodies of two female passengers were previously recovered the fourth person is still missing. >> this scene in l.a. was no hollywood stunt. the woman clinging to the hood of this car, she was trying to stop the driver from stealing her dog. she was eating outside and someone snatched her dog and

took off. >> i am like i am not letting this car go. i held on to the windshield wipers and before i knew it we were driving down the block and picking up speed and i was freaking out for my life suddenly. >> she fell off about a block later and as you saw in that interview she is okay. but the dog napper is still on the run with her pet. all right, this has been an interesting time of year to plan, paul, for what we are wearing. typically. we were in jabet mode. all of a sudden, suddenly nice outside. i know we are in for more changes. >> right. >> rain is going to return, colder temperatures are going to return, one more dry mild day to go tomorrow. it is nice to have this little taste of spring with us for the past couple of days, take a look at the big picture pattern and how things are going to change the storm system impacting our weather. off shore tomorrow that leaves with us dry conditions and temperatures not as warm as today. still, 5-10

degrees above average. then, the storm system directing an atmospheric river arrives on wednesday. that is the big story this week. let's track it with future cast. we have a mix of clouds and sunshine with us on tuesday. gradually thickening clouds during the afternoon. stay dry during the daylight hours, a chance for the north bay in the evening, not going to amount for much there. there is all of the rain hanging out of the coast. let's zoom in, here it comes, approaching the coast by sunrise on wednesday. the bay area, it should be dry in the morning commute. on wednesday, hitting the coast by late morning into early afternoon. and, once it moves in, we will be seeing bands of heavy rain moving in from west to east throughout the afternoon into the evening and even early overnight, the wednesday afternoon and evening commute is a salute mess. we have an option -- is it is a mess.

trekking across the bay area wednesday evening, the heaviest rain finally pushing off to the east after midnight on wednesday night. we still have lingering off and on showers in the forecast throughout the day on thursday. flooding potential and wind damage potential will be maximized in the wednesday afternoon and evening time frame. talking about an inch to 2-1/2 inches of rain on a widespread basis for higher in the north bay. even more than that in the coastal ranges of sonoma county and the santa cruz mountains, it brings in the possibility of localized flooding, the rain is falling in a short amount of time. the wind energy with this will be noticeable. the winds not strong during dat i tomorrow. picking up already as the sun comes up on wednesday with the strongest winds with the narrow cold front rainband. talking about 40-50 mile-an-hour rain gusts along the coast. be prepared for downed branches, entire trees, the possibility of power outages, it will be a snow maker in the sierra. high at first but dropping down in

the progression of the system. end of the week and the weekend, close to a foot of snow at lake level. the second system dropping more snow. talking 2-3 feet at lake level with 4-5 feet in the higher elevations. by the time it is all said and done with the next system coming in for the second half of the weekend. more rain and wind to the bay area. right now, warm out there. calm, the temperatures in the 50s to around 60. we will drop down to the middle to upper 40s to 50 degrees by tomorrow morning. a quick check of tomorrow's high temperatures as we will zoom around the map. mild, 10 degrees above average. reaching up into the lower 70s. other temperatures, mostly in the middle portion of the 60s. middle to upper 60s, inland, east bay. 68 for redwood city. 61 in half moon bay. coolest spot on the map. 60s in oakland and san francisco and middle portion of the 60s for the north bay as well. again, soak up the warmth while you can. cooler temperatures to go along with that progression of rain systems heading our way. dropping down to near normal

temperatures with all of the rain on wednesday and below average temperatures through the rest of the forecast. lingering showers on thursday and again on friday. one day of mostly driveway weather on saturday and then the next round of rain and even stronger winds potentially, moving through for the second half of the weekend on sunday. got a lot to monitor over the next several days, sara? >> we should do, paul, thanks. it is one of the oldest and most famous 49ers bar in the bay. how a simple offer to the team turned it into a institution. vern? straight ahead in sports, what about the detroit lions? after all, they had that huge lead. what about the quarterback? marin county's jarad goff. and the winner of the trophy goes to the nfc champs, the 49ers.

. one peninsula restaurant should be particularly packed on super bowl sunday. they got

its start in the '70s when the 9ers could be best described as awful. the owner made the team an offer and as john ramos reports, it cost him a lot but paid off big. >> reporter: he noticed an abandoned 7/11 across the street and thought it would make a good location for a restaurant. it was 1972. >> all of those were deli cases, empty, full of slurpy cups. >> reporter: he opened the canyon inn, serving up hamburgers that his customers loved. his love was reserved for the 49ers. he remembered watching his heroes playing at kezar the team never had a lot of success. in 1981 he offered to host a rally for the team in his parking lot to stir up local spirit. >> he says, you know tim? the only way you will get these guys up here is if you give something away. i started

thinking geez, i am trying to help these guys. a free meal for anyone in the organization, including office staff on weeks the team won. >> what do i have to lose, they only win three games a year, right? that was the year they went to the super bowl. 16-3. the rest is history. >> reporter: talk about timing. but it worked. players and coaches began frequenting the place. harrison still has the free meal card issued to jack hacksaw reynolds, now the restaurant has a burger named after him. >> how much did it cost you to feed these guys for free. >> it turned out to be a lot. quite a bit. i never really stopped to add it up. $10,000? >> those are old '81 prices, you know. >> reporter: for what it cost him he got much more in return. the bar flourished with fans and he became close to many on the team. displayed on the wall say personal invitation from the family to attend bill

walshes funeral. >> it has been a great ride. here we are. 42 years later. hoping for another one. >> those are good friends to have in the bay area. >> fans, got to love the fans. i will tell you a quick story. i personally know a member of the faithful who left at halftime of a watch party, quit on the team, it was too much. i wonder what she is thinking right now? >> you know. i wondered about it. there have to be many of those, many of them >> i would say so. all right, let's talk about the 49ers. talking about them all day and night. the players earned themselves a few days off this week. why not, it has been 29 years since they hoisted the vince lombardi trophy as nfl champs. after set backs to the rams and the eagles last january, they have another shot to win a 6th title after the 17 point deficit to beat the lions. george kittle and nick bosa are two of them >> i am very happy for this

team, organization, franchise to get back and get this opportunity. losing nfc championship is not fun. you put an extra two weeks in and you lose. that stings. >> it is special. we have been here before. we are, we are trying to get some other confetti. >> so, lost in the celebration for the 49ers is the heartbreak in detroit. this was the best lions season in over three decades. the lions are the only team in the 58 year super bowl era to not make it. that includes the quarterback. jarad goff. >> what are my emotions? >> i don't know. it sucks, pretty devastated. you know, a state of shock a little bit. hard to juggle the emotions of being proud of what we have done this year and dealing with the heartache of the loss. >> goff is one of five quarterbacks to lead two different franchises to

conference championships. he joins brady, brett favre, kurt warner and peyton manning. >> i know it was a tough loss, even 9ers fans appreciate how devastating that was for lions fans >> it is going to take time >> yes to get that through their system. >> we have been through heartbreak here too in the bay area. hoping for the best. we got a lot of sports to talk about before the big game. >> oh, yeah. >> you will be here for all of it, i am sure. final mission for endeavor. the ambitious lift down south

. it is up, up, up and stay for space shuttle endeavor. tonight about 90 minutes ago the california science center

in l.a. started hoisting the shuttle into ready for lift off mode. it will be the first and only shuttle on display vertically. now to a majestic symbol of the america west. the mighty buffalo whose size and strength celebrate it in song and verse. the poets probably never saw one move like this. we added the sound effects because we could innocent not. he was trying to follow his herd when he became the but of all of their jokes for the rest of winter. even if you are not a football fan there is a hero we can all get behind. they call him bark purdy

it goes without saying 9ers fans and yes, chiefs fans, are happy about the match up going into super bowl sunday. there is a group of people with no interest in football whatsoever that is usually still excited about the big game. and that is dog lovers because they have the puppy bowl to look forward to.

>> animal planet's puppy bowl come super bowl sunday will be the biggest ever. 131 puppies participating. oh! >> they will need a few hoses. 73 shelters participating across three dozen states boosting this stat, they will have the smallest pup they ever had who weighs less than two pounds and their biggest, that is levi, a great dane who is 80 pounds, vote for your favorite put for the starting line on line. you saw one of the pups is bark purdy. >> oh! >> bark purdy. there is bark. >> go get him, boy. >> here is something that could be good for the 9ers, there is a puppy bowl player named patrick mabones from iowa. he lost in the first round of fan voting to be a starting puppy. he still gets to play, though. >> i mean. >> i saw one of the breeds looked like they were from the

detroit franchise. >> i was going to say. i knew that was coming. >> i knew there was going to be something of a joke about the similarity between this game and the coaches comments which definitely shocked me what i heard it. what is wrong with that man? [ laughter ] >> we went to the same school. >> you did? >> yes, he is an aggie. yes. texas a&m. >> we were there at the same time >> i wonder if you ever hung out >> i doubt it. i think i would remember a person of that size. >> did they call him dan gamble back then? >> not at that point. >> puppy bowl and super bowl >> yep. >> and rain for you. >> yes. rain,
