him on the list pending the review. the nfl player's association intends to seek immediate reinstatement if he is not taken off the list by 5:00 p.m. eastern time monday and that's coming a head as the week unfolds. another situation keeping a close eye on is carson palmer, believed to have suffered a torn acl in the left neon sunday at home in that victory that drew stanton came in to lead after palmer was injured and appears stanton will be the quarterback for the cardinals for the balance of the season. >> interesting because the cardinals as we all know have the best record in the nfl at this point. we'll see if stanton can continue that pace more them with palmer apparently out for the rest of the year. thank you, mike. final score here once again the packers 55, bears 14. al is back to wrap things up from lambeau field right after this. alright guys. the usual. double wings, extra ranch.

our gang saying good night from green bay, wisconsin. whatta you wanna do first?

eat the chick-n-tater melt? or peel the sticker and play jack's munchie peel instant win game? what happens if i peel the sticker? you have a 1 in 4 chance of winning cool stuff

like flights on southwest airlines, skateboards, gas cards, neff gear, or free food! you just buy a munchie meal, like the new chick-n-tater melt, and peel. what happens if i do both at the same time? ahhhhhhhhhh! faith. by definition, it's something that is felt with strong conviction without tangible evidence of its existence. many claim to have it, but how

do we attain it? it can't be held. it can't be sold. but it can be passed down. faith is invaluable to those who feel it. how is it that this belief can unite us regardless of our differences? it's because of conviction. that feeling inside that links so many. from the far corners of the earth to the closest reaches of our neighborhood, faith is all around us. >> everything hangs in the balance now. >> faith springs from a glorious path to the future. they would inspire their brethren of today to reach such epic accomplishments. and all along, there are those who cheer. in their mind, they envision. in their heart, they believe. and because of that, they are

simply known as "the faithful." my husband is incredibly passionate about the 49ers. >> he's fairly obsessed. >> he's beyond help. he painted his walls red. i don't know many people that do that around here. >> i think i have seen him wear black shirt one day, but only because it was laundry gear. >> he is wearing his 49ers gear. that's faithful to me. >> professing your love for the niners or participating yo pain red. all of shows of faith for your team, but not out of the ordinary for anyone claiming to be a faithful. that is, unless, you live in louisiana. meet neal wilson. he is a faithful living far outside the bay area. originally from the quad cities this americaners grew up

watching brett favre in what is now the nfc north. but he has always loved the 49ers. born in 1981 when the 49ers secured their first world championship, neal's passion grew as he did. and with that, another passion grew which found him relocating to the pelican state. >> i'm a voice actor. i'm the voice of many radio stations from memphis to 101.7 in monterey. i have always been on jimmy kimmel. i have a show on the travel channel. i've been heard on discovery channel and smithsonian channel, the bbc. but i started in radio as a radio dj. >> working his way throughout the country, neal wilson finally decided it was time to take his career inhouse. with a studio decked out in his own style, he settled down in louisiana and made his own

fortune. >> so it's super easy for me to wake up in the morning and say, hey, you know, not only do i get to go and sit in this really cool room that i've put together of all my niners memorabilia, i get to be whoever i want to be with any given piece of copy. i love it. >> but as much as neal has excelled with the world of entertaining, his game day is just the opposite. >> my game day, i don't want anybody around. i don't want anybody who's going to bring any sort of negativity into the room. i don't exactly invite my friends over for football. i'm that guy. >> no. i've actually never watched a game with neal. he doesn't like to have folks around him while he's watching. >> he won't even return texts. i think he likes to be in his little bubble. >> i have never watched a 49ers game with him. he won't invite us over. >> am i a bad friend for that? >> his unwillingness could amount to a few things. as noted, he likes to avoid

negativity. he also may like to view the game without interruption. or it could simply be that he has a uniform way of observing his niners, supposedly. >> supposedly he gets in his full niners uniform, with the helmet and everything. >> he's got the pants. the socks. his gloves. >> i can't even explain it. when i saw him wearing the pants and jersey. >> grown man wearing a 49ers uniform watching the game so intensely. >> i thought i was dreaming. it was a nightmare. >> i wear a full 49ers uniform on game days when i'm at home. we all root the niners on in our own way. this is my way, and it works. >> being a 49ers fan in new orleans sometimes isn't very easy. >> the only drawback is my member is 3. my last name is wilson. think about that for a second.

>> he doesn't sit down during the games. he is front and center in front of that television with the volume all the way to the roof. >> yeah. it's not like it's like an unknown thing what i do on game days. i pace the living room. i wear my niners gear, and i sweat a lot. so shoot me. coming up on "the faithful," see how new orleans has historically been linked with some of the greatest games in niners history. - ( helicopter whirring ) - ( roars ) ( siren wails )

my whole life, i didn't have because it was too expensive. as a professional dancer, i tend to beat up my body a lot, and having health insurance is a priority for me. it's a relief to be able to keep the same doctor. i was born with a back condition that required surgery. i'm paying a fraction of what i used to pay. even with my back issues, i'm able to afford health insurance. i'm in. i'm in. i'm in. for the first time ever. over one million people found health insurance through covered california. join them starting november 15th.

the crescent city is located 2,200 miles from the home of the 49ers. because of the distance, new orleans and the bay area seem a lifetime apart. but that's not necessarily true. these two teams have shared a growing rivalry and have been a part of some of football's greatest games. fans like neal wilson, a faithful living in whodat nation, have experienced some of those great matchups. >> second down. snapped it. and running it the other way for the 49ers to the 30, 20, 10, 5, touchdown! >> however, the rivalry truly predates wilson and many of the faithful who reside in new orleans. in 1966, the saints became an nfl franchise. and in 1977, they became part of the nfc west, where they would

stay for 24 seasons. that meant the saints would square off against the 49ers twice a year and watch their foe in red and gold dominate. >> montana rolls to his right. throws! he's into the end zone. touchdown, 49ers! >> although it wasn't against a team that calls new orleans home, the 49ers also claimed world championships in the confines of the superdome and cemented their legendary status. >> touchdown, john taylor! >> 59 laser. >> pump fake by montana. oh, what a touchdown! 49ers, touchdown!

>> 49ers in one of the greatest football games ever played by one team become the first team to win back-to-back super bowls since the pittsburgh steelers. >> one of the greatest games against the saints, however, did not take place in new orleans. nor was it during the championship season. it was in 1980, when a team that was trying to find its way also found itself in a significant hole. >> before you knew it, it was 35-7. and we were getting our butts kicked. >> things were just not going our way defensively or offensively. and bill called us up and said, look, guy, don't embarrass yourself. let's try to build something going forward to the end of the game and get something going positive to get us into next week. >> bad as the first half was, the second half was that great.

personally, what i remember is every point counted. you could just feel the momentum shift. >> all of a sudden, we're only two touchdowns behind. and before we knew it, it was tied, and we were going into overtime. after the game, you know, we couldn't believe we had come back and won. but bill's point at that juncture of the situation was, you know, men, we'll pull from this game for the rest of our careers. we'll know that we're never out of a game because we just came back from 28 points behind the greatest comeback in nfl history. when you think you're down and out against anybody else in the future, remember this game. and remember we can come back and win. >> and like it often does,

history repeated itself on that very same field against that very same opponent 31 years later. bill walsh was not alive to give words of encouragement before the 2011 divisional playoff game. but if we were there, his words would have stood true like they did decades earlier. >> that game right there was an emotional roller coaster. it was the most i've ever seen a game go up and down, up and down. >> it's drew brees and the saints. and great receivers. >> that team that we had played that year had set i don't know how many kind of records on offense. and i don't know how many people were giving us a chance. >> give me everything you've got! everything you've got! play with heart! let's go, man! win on three! one, two, three! win! >> fumble. >> at the 1 yard line. is there a fumble?

>> there was a fumble. >> a fumble. >> flip 2-5-6. >> alex back to throw. and he's in! touchdown, 49ers! >> throws it quick left. spots. crabtree, touchdown! >> hey! >> coach, i saw it. come on. i show up. i show up. come on. >> and they come back, and they

come back, and they come back. and suddenly it's a competitive game. >> it was a headache. i couldn't believe it. it was just stressful. they would score, we would score. they would score. it was just pushing and pulling. pushing and pulling. >> third and a long seven just inside the new orleans 28 yard line. saints bring extra men out. boots to his left and runs! 20, 15, and 5, touchdown! do you believe it? what a play! [ laughter ]

>> unbelievable! >> with 1:37 to go, new orleans leads again 32-29. >> those final four minutes, i think, live in nfl history as one of the great closing acts of any postseason game. >> we put it into production or put it on the assembly line, tweaked a few things here or there, feeling like it would be a good play. >> new orleans was starting to just open up the middle of the field. and they were trying to take things away outside. but they continued to play that cover two defense. >> blitzing us all day. we were just hedging our bets that they would be playing cover two. >> we're all thinking field goal. kick the field goal. we'll go to overtime. and thankfully for the 49ers, the coaches didn't think that way. >> we made the decision we were going to go for the win. we didn't want to go to

overtime. we wanted to win the game then. >> the last time my number was called that day. >> third down and the ball was at the 14 yard line of new orleans. >> the 49ers are down three. third down. alex with the snap. looking. >> come on! >> touchdown! touchdown, 49ers! whoo! >> bernie davis with the play of his life! alex smith with the play of his life! and the 49ers are nine seconds away from playing for the nfc championship! >> looked at alex. he looked back at me. i took off. after about 10 yards, planted my left foot. as soon as i could turn, the ball was right on me. >> vernon got jarred, held the

ball, and delirious. >> the entire stadium exploded at once. i got up. all i could feel was tears running down my eyes. it was an epic play. >> that really was the end to an epic game. >> the post to vernon was a new beginning. it was the new 49er era officially being born.

at shell, we believe the world needs a broader mix of energies, to move, to keep warm, to make clay piggies. that's why we are supplying natural gas, to generate cleaner electricity, that has around 50% fewer co2 emissions than coal. let's broaden the world's energy mix, let's go.

my wife didn't grow up in a household like i did that was a sports household. it's helped me kind of turn her into a niners fan. >> i was a saints fan early on in our relationship. but watching neal's passion is hard not to feel that passion and want to root for the niners as well. >> if she's not a niners fan by now, there's no hope for her. >> neal and terry live in prairieville, louisiana, in the

heart of whodat nation, where the saints rule the land. but in the wilson household, the gold that normally dominates the region is joined by 49ers red. >> let's put it this way. my office or my studio is my happy place. guys, we know. we all get one room. some take the garage. some take the basement. i don't have that luxury. i have a studio. all right. so this is my voiceover booth. i'm usually the only person in this room. but you'll notice that it is also 49er themed. it's more harbaugh themed, because i like the intensity. i feel like i'm coached every time that i'm doing my voiceover work. it's black and khaki, and of course the black tucks into the khaki. but i've got some work to do, so pay attention.

a man can be -- can be destroyed but he can't be defeated. defeat does not define you. you must use it. >> fight! >> as motivation. >> you're a damn good football team, all right? >> as fuel. >> we just keep working. >> as the drive. the 49ers announced -- they did a contest called the baseball film maker. i had become friends with a video producer. he produced the video, and i produced the audio, and we ended up winning. to overcome. i got the email from the niners' marketing people that you won, you get to walk on bill walsh field. i got
