brock purdy finds george kittle in the end zone. a little tap dance and stays in, 49ers take a four point lead. the raiders answer before the end of the first half. a toetapping catch of their own. adams is incredible and a native so you've got to like him. 17-14 raiders at the break. they were up 10 in the third. mccaffrey with an ice block. a 14 yard touchdown, within three. tied at 27 in the fourth. jordan mason, they call him the closer, his first career touchdown. a 14 yard score. he is going to keep that ball forever. stidham wasn't done, he goes deep to adams again and how does he hold this in? incredible catch. it may have hit the ground but there wasn't enough evidence to overturn it. a short touchdown for the raiders after that. robbie gould for the chance, 41 yards out, and the veteran misses the cake. raiders win the toss and get the ball first in overtime. a wobble into hands. the defense comes through in the biggest moment. a shot at redemption and he nails the game-winner from 23 yards out. the 49ers win 37-34. an epi

george kittle makes an amazing catch to keep a drive going in the 49ers would go on to score and stay ahead the rest of the game. final score 19 to 12 niners win ktvu joe fonzi was at the game at levi's and tells us what players say there's no question about the fact that playoff football is different, and things don't always work out the way you game plan. in the case of the 49ers, they stuck with the plan that's worked for 12 straight weeks now and as a result, by the end of their game over the cowboys, they were exerting their will on both sides of the football. you got to stick to the plan. at the end of the day, we didn't waver. from what what our plan was in the beginning. like i said, we have to make second half adjustments. we made the adjustments and then we got on top of it. once we talked about it, you know as a team and coming to halftime, man, we just make our adjustments, man. we continue to push and continue to fight. definitely cause some problems for us earlier. i was happy with the way our guys just responded and kept going. one play at a time and had a couple of lon

christian mccaffrey and deebo samuel, brandon aiyuk, elijah mitchell, a solid offensive line and george kittle. the offensive production has actually improved with purdy at quarterback going from averaging 22 points a game to 33 points a game with purdy. that shows you that purdy is not just along for the ride either. so, yes, purdy will be under an intense microscope when the playoffs open saturday against the seattle seahawks in levi's stadium but his quiet confidence and cool demeanor should make everyone trust that he was built for these kinds of pressure situations. >> the cool demeanor like joe montana. let's see what happens saturday. >> let's see what happens. >>> jessica aguirre joins us now with what's up next at 6:00. >>> at 6:00, a silver lining to all these relentless storms that has brought dramatic change to the drought conditions. california has been downgraded from extreme drought category, but is it enough to reverse the drought altogether? >> reporter: i'm damian trujillo. a stray dog attacks a man walking his dog at a san jose park. police had to use deadly force. coming up

for the most part, purdy has not looked like a rookie since taking over, but george kittle revealed that purdy did have some jitters leading up to the 49ers first playoff game earlier this month. >> he came in during our two-minute drill at the end to get the field goal and he played so fast, noticing a person heard it. >>> this was bound to happen. check this out , meet rocky. that's a pretty crafty play on the brock purdy image. brock purdy is under center for this team and he will run into a solid rock in the form of the philadelphia eagles defense. >> as a reporter, there, are you going to support the red in the phillies territory? you will shine and let them know you're here? >> i have to go neutral, i'm a journalist. >> wade, now. >> this isn't fresno, this is san francisco. you got to be a pro about it. >> you always are. i will not be. thank you so much. >>> this is eric nunez, the roseville native, he has been to every 49ers playoff game so far this year. now he is getting ready to go to philly. maybe he is on the same flight as vern. he was so confident in the red and gold beat

. >> george kittle came up big for san francisco. he had 95 yards receiving including an amazing juggling catch. a late score by christian mccaffrey was enough for the 49ers to hold on the cowboys are eliminateded, 19-12. >>> an emotional moment for the bills. damar hamlin less than three weeks after, cheering from the press box with a hearst. >>> the bengals smothered buffaloes' offense and they're heading back to the afc championship game with a win, 27-10. >>> and then there were four there is a rematch of the afc championship game as the chiefs look for revenge against joe burrow and the bengals and the eagles have a chance for a spot, on the line. >>> let's get a first check of the weather on this monday morning with angie lassman. >> good morning, guys. a soggy start for some and even snowing especially in places like blunkton and upstate new york that's where we're dealing with plenty of snow as a coastal low moves off into the atlantic. you can see the rain hugging the coast as well. still 14 million people under windchill we

george kittle is as great as brandon aiyuk spin this year. i think it starts with him and then i expect pete carroll to throw some some pre snap stuff and then post snap, switch it up for the young rookie. i mean, this is one of the legendary defensive coaches in the history of the game in pete carroll, a national champion, a super bowl champion. i expect hem to have some trickeration in terms of how his defense sets up pre and post snap for the rookie. now, speaking of that rookie, he spoke today at his presser and just cool, calm and collective as usual. grant cohn throws him a little curve ball. he handled it like a 12 year vet. >> are we being pumped? does this kid have like a fake birth certificate? if you really like 36, what's going on? >> there's some people in life that are just why souls, right, jason? i mean, if you see this all the time, it is just the board with the forces. we like to say the star wars force l a all the great quarterbacks in the league. tom brady mahomes. you name it. josh out there are going to have clunkers at

. >> now if it wasn't for this catch from george kittle in dallas, maybe the 49ers season would be in jeopardy. a ten play 91-yard drive that led to san francisco's only touchdown of the game in the divisional round. kittle wasn't even the primary receiver. >> he gave me a catchable ball. i was just trying to be dramatic. for tv. get the ratings up. >> i was confident he had it and then he bobbled it twice. >> it seemed like it was ten seconds of bobbling. >> hockey. the sharks midpoint in the road trip gave detroit a try. into the second period, sharks down all over the goalie. tried again. and coture finally found the net. look at this onslaught. andrew caught by james reimer and the red wings won it a final of 3-2. oh, how the mighty have fallen. the sharks just swimming around the bottom of their division. they used to be one of the elite teams in the whole league. >> oh man. what a bummer. at least we have the niners to look forward to. i'm a little bit nervous. >> that's normal. you should. that means you care. >> a hostile crowd is perhaps an understatement. >> maybe. >> true.

what deebo samuel christian mccaffrey, george kittle and brandon who were even big factors in that lasttheir thing. there's no reason with this forty-niners defense. the matter should not come away with another, in my opinion, the easy win. >> maybe the best thing to come out of wild card weekend for the forty-niners is that they're healthy. only injuries. the kyle shanahan talked about today. word juan jennings and sampson ca- both dealing with ankle injuries. they're both going to be day to day. but hey, that is a pretty clean slate, right? how invaluable is it for the forty-niners to have these 2 extra days of rest than their opponent for the divisional round. >> i think it's a big deal. i people remembers recently as last year, the number 2 seed a bye. so getting the number 2 now we didn't get anything. the trip home field until your conference championship game. if you're still standing in the one he does not. so it's a big deal that not only do they get the extra day of rest, but they also are going end up with the whole rest of that saturday. you know, they were the early game on

george kittle has a take on that. >> maybe that's just coming out to a hot start and putting some points on the board so we are not playing from behind her having to make the article plays at the end of the game. we had opportunities to win those games at the end but if you make plays early enough, first, second quarter, you might not put yourself in those situations. >> the 49ers offense might have to hear some chirping from the eagles defensive end brandon graham. graham started trash talking to the giants last week before the game even started. >> yeah, boy. were running right at you. right at you and you knock on a run this way. i'm on the throwing arm all day, hey. >> eagle center, jason kelce, your thoughts. >> i was not happy about that. i told him hey, you're talking -- to the defensive tackle. i will handle this guy. i don't need him more revved up than he already is. >>> the nba star steph curry has been named all-star starter for the ninth time in his career. february 19th in salt lake city. jordan poole with the game-winner last night, beating the grizzlies eric curry was not

dow george kittle. i got to tell you guys, he will be happy once the game starts because he's already mentioned that for the past 4 days, his house does not have powers. i wouldn't be surprised if he's probably walking around the building right now, taking a shower or charging up his cell phone. he's excited for the game. fans are excited. well, coach kyle shanahan not so excited. he is entering it. fearful of the worst, but hoping for the best >> yeah, i was so down game 3 and a half hours. the playoffs. i look ateall people. something like say, but playoffs. why some play last session >> right. so the weather could make it difficult for both teams. the niners are so loaded and that could slow them down a little bit. the niners swell their quarterback. everybody knows him by now. brock purdy. he will make history when he takes the field tomorrow being the lois drafted rookie quarterback and everybody knows by now he's mister irrelevant. drafted last in last season's draft. he will make history as the l
