this was the field goal that ended the 49ers dreams of a super bowl and coach harbaugh could not disguise his disaappointment in tonight's heartbreaking loss at candle stick. good evening everyone i'm heather holmes. >> and i'm ken wayne. it wasn't supposed to end this

way. after a dramatic win, many 49ers fans were looking to go to their sixth super bowl. you can hear it from kyle williams who botched two critical plays. made them eat e giants to beat their words but came up short. now that the giants are heading to super bowl xlvi, the 49ers clean out their lockers and look forward to next season. >> they were wet and they were weary and they were probably disappointed at the end. the 49ers were terrible in third down situation. they did not throw the ball well. fans may remember one person in the loss to the giants. they are one victory away from san francisco's first super bowl since 95. niners start the night with a

lightning strike. vernon davis races down the sidelines. davis scored twice tonight. punt returner gets too close to the bouncing ball. it actually hits him. at the 49ers 29-yard line. quarterback eli manning makes them play. mario to manning ham, giants take the lead 24-14. niners are able to tie the game and force overtime. they're about to get the ball but guess what, it's kyle williams again. it's deep in 49ers territory once again. williams will remember this night forever. pynes sends the crowd home, giants go on to play new england in super bowl xlvi. ouch, joe fonzi was at the game and in the locker room afterward. i'm sure they're trying to tell

the players a 14-6 season is something to celebrate. it's pretty difficult to tell them right now. >> reporter: i agree with you. the way the 49ers won games all yearlong was the way they lost tonight. they led the league in turnover differentials. they forced four turnovers last week. and it's turnovers that killed them today. williams had the lead and all the momentum in the game. then in overtime the punt that was fumbled that set the giants for that game winning field goal. it's something that kyle williams will be thinking about for a long time. but his teammates were taking it as a team. >> it's tough it had to end the way it did. especially with the momentum of the defense and the turnover on special teams. just a tough situation. we have to let k know that we love him no matter what. we're a team, we all went out

there together. just because he fumbled the football, we don't treat him any differently. >> for me, we're one of 13 in third down. i know it's tough for him. he's obviously thinking about those two punts. punt returns for quite a while. but we didn't lose the game there. we lost the game across the board. we weren't good offensively. we didn't get it done. >> after all it's a group game. it's on all of us. the team to team to team. we point the finger at nobody. we just take it for what it is. give credit where it's due, new york won and they're going to the super bowl and we didn't. >> reporter: it was a great season for the 49ers. it just doesn't feel like it tonight. we have more coming up in sports, until then reporting live, i'm joe fonzi back to you. >> more tonight in sports wrap. the highlights, more sound from candle stick.

but let's face it it wasn't just kyle williams that had problems today. >> it was a tough game. the 49ers had their chances just couldn't capitalize. >> defense was able to force the ball back to them. they had a chance, the ball was in their court literally. 14-4. come on. >> not bad. >> let's go. >> let's go next year. thanks fred. almost 70,000 fans jammed candlestick park for the game and many watched it right here. debra villalon is at one of the bars where fans must be drowning their sorrows. >> reporter: super bowl dreams die-hard. we watched the game here in the mission where the only consolation is visions of next year. the crowd here was a little over the posted limit. standing room, barely describes it. packed like so many bars and restaurants across the city.

full of people and full of optimism, even in nail biting overtime. >> alex smith needs to get a touchdown. >> it doesn't get any better than this. >> niners. >> reporter: instead it got worse fast and as the super bowl slipped away, this fan found his hands shaking. >> it hurts, it really hurts. >> the true interceptions we were supposed to have, the kyle williams fumble. that's what kept the niners finally back. if those things were not to happen, the niners would be in the super bowl right now. >> i'm having a little bit of a roger craig flash back. uncanny but hope for next year. hope for next year. kept me at the edge of the seat, you can't ask for more. >> reporter: it was a heart

pounding game with a heartbreaking outcome. the only comfort the team's turn around this season. >> at least they played a good game and they played their hearts out. so you win some you lose some. they've come so far this season. it's just been, been really great. the energy is back. >> i'm really proud of the niners either way. we made it this far and the legacy continues, so we'll get it next year. >> reporter: tonight we saw tears of disappointment where last year they were tears of joy. so much pride in this 49ers team transformed. we're live in san francisco, debra villalon, ktvu channel 2 news. while things can't quite turn out the way 49ers fans had hoped. today's game was viewed quite differently by fans of the new york giants. that was the scene at aces bar in san francisco, giant supporters watched their team

do battle with the niners never losing hope they say. >> i thought we were going to win in overtime before the game even started and i was right. i was right. >> san francisco got an economic boost from the niners revival with bars, restaurants and' tells all of them seeing an up tick in business over the last two weeks. the team's remarkable run this season just made tonight's loss more painful. we used unique steps officers used to keep peace among the fans tonight. rain showers have been picking up across a good portion of north california. our next storm cueing offshore. you will notice its presence over the next few hours. the latest right now on live storm tracker 2. the presence
