but the niners they get a huge stop. look at the chain gang short by just an inch and that momentum carried over to the next drive. san francisco goes 10 plays 58 yards and with a jimmy garoppolo george kittle 16 yard pitch and catch so it's 17 7 at this point. i'm starting to mentally prep out my super bowl plans not so fast. the rams drive 75 yards in 7 plays and with another cup touchdown pass. he was so good. now, here's one of those plays that will haunt the niners for some time to come. easiest interception of carts career drops. la would go on to kick a game. tying field goal. the niners defense continues to unravel. check this doubt that the makes the catch. jimmie ward. helmet to helmet. he did not have to do that. another 15 yards on the play ramp kick a field goal. they tied at 17. now trying to get the lead back. but the offense couldn't do anything. jimmy g running for his life. he throws incomplete to do michael hasty 3 and out for san francisco rams ball. more from this guy cut another huge play. 11 catche

jason, the niners had their chances. they just couldn't capitalize. >> and jonathan, tough, tough, tough ending for the forty-niners season and >> unfortunately, it's a story we've all seen before blown 4th quarter league and a poor quarterback performance. that was the nail in the coffin. we'll have full highlights later in the show bullish. so you some of the key plays in this one and they were calling so fy stadium levi south and for good reason. look at all the red that showed up 65%. >> of the fans of forty-niners fans. 3rd quarter, jimmy garoppolo. it's george kittle right here, though. niners are in control. it's 17 7. i'm looking at flights to la. we go into southern california. silly me. 4th quarter. 3 point game here. the forty-niners have a chance to steal back all the momentum. but your car dropped the easiest interceptions will ever seen in his life. the rams went on to kick from the tying field goal. la got the ball right back in with a minute. and 49 seconds left matt. it's the field goal 2017. still plent

now if the niners loose and then the saints win the niners season is over.stly between me and everyone watching here. option one and 4 are probably the 2 most likely the night is really have to get a win. but it's going to be tough game down in the southern california against the rams. the rams still have a whole lot to play for and then obviously the same time a lot to play for. you don't think they're going to lose to the falcons. alright list. look at trey lance once again, this was that interception. he had early on in the cover to he said after the game he just under through. it wasn't really a play where he had to go through reid. he's just season which wide receiver gets open on the field. here you see him and ibo. they had a nice little for we had that 45 yard pitch and catch. more tray. this one to brandon aiyuk him in. brandon. i u they hooked up a couple times. i think i had 4 catches today to lead the niners. we've been talk and a lot of yards after catch we're used to with brandon. i i think he settled in nicely. he was. if we're being honest wa

the actual forty-niners were off today. they're getting rested up and trying to focus on tomorrow's game. but for the fans today was almost as exciting as the game itself. that's because the team hosted an la invasion for visiting forty-niners fans at tom's watch bar in downtown la la live and believe me, the faithful lived up to their name and showed up to this one. there were hundreds of fans in lines spanning several blocks around la live. in fact, the people the back of the line probably didn't make it in the restaurant at any point of this. but once they did make it in the event, they were treated to a bunch of different stuff. photo ops of former forty-niners players a little bit of free swag in the most of all. a chance to hang out with hundreds of other forty-niners fans in town for the game. now i met people who came from just a couple blocks away from la live. but then others who had traveled from pretty far san jose sacramento, places close to the bay area that you'd expect. but even iowa, new jersey, virginia, b

but the niners not get the huge stop. check out the it short by an inch that momentum carried over to the next drive. san francisco goes 10 plays 58 yards and it ends with a jimmy garoppolo to george kittle 16 yard pitch and catch. so it's 17 7 at this point. i'm starting to mentally plan out my super bowl plans not so fast ramps drive 75 yards in 7 plays and end with another cup touchdown. he was so good. now, here's one of those plays that will haunt niners fans for some time. staffers airs it out to we're going other way. but he drops it. easiest pick of his career. la would go on to kick a game. tying field goal. forty-niners go 3 and out rams ball and it's that cup guy again. he absolutely shredded the forty-niners defense 11 catches 142 yards, 2 touchdowns. later in the drive for the night as you get 3rd down stop and the rams have to settle for a field goal. 30 yarder from one. 46 to play in suing drive after an incomplete pass and then a law for 3 3rd forty-niners. tried to escape the pocket. but it's know throw t

well, well, 40 niner fans from all over the nation are going to head to la one, 40 niner fan club in los angeles says it's not all about the competition. that group says that their club makes it a point to try and have fun with the rams fans sometimes even joining them to celebrate. >> i'm a rams be in the never made >> that was one of the members of the la chapter of the 14, a fan club. the club members say they will definitely be at so-fi stadium cheering on the forty-niners on sunday. >> and as we get closer to the game, the kron 4 morning news team has placed a friendly little wager with our nexstar sister station in los angeles with morning team. take a look. >> james and looks like you guys haven't learned your lesson after the dodgers beat the giants in the nlds last year. but that's okay because we're game. we are. thank you. first of all, for the sour dough bread bowls with clam chowder. >> that we enjoyed from that. that this time we have a hankering for doughnuts. so when the rams beat the forty-niners this weekend, we'd like you to send us some of those famous apple fritt

the niners had. they lit aaron rodgers go. 42 yards in 6 plays and about 37 seconds to win that game. you remember that play? we're like what we're seeing in the newsroom, like what is going on. and that was the first time i think that there was some questions about kyle shanahan's play calling and clock management because it just seemed like football on a one to not give aaron rodgers that much time at the end of the game. but >> these things happen. the lot of people thought the forty-niners might have the upper hand coming into this game because of green bay having played poorly in week. one they were going to. i think, right? i think so. 1 one there, 1 one, but that the niners were 2 in oh, just came off a win in philadelphia. >> and yeah, and they just got down early. but then, you know, you check right here. 37 seconds, left niners, take the lead. we're all cheering and the newser we think is over. but aaron rodgers, he's the bad boy. yeah. going to be a tough one. and the weather. >> it's a be

but this is still fundamentally the fans love the niners, but the niners, let's face it. they are a business. so more than likely jimmy g will not be coming back. >> the niners, however, they hope to be back. and of course, go for their 6th super bowl ring. but they felt this close to coming back with a victory that close it was. but instead their season is over. everybody is obviously proud of the niners, but summer vacation against them right now. all right. so we'll and what do you think? do you believe these rumors that brady is going to tire that? >> that jimmy g would go replace him, which would be so strange like full circle. >> i think so, too. if i had to guess i think jimmy g goes down to tampa. but at this particular point, we broke this story over the weekend you know, we talked to tom brady senior and tom brady senior was like, no, my son didn't say anything about retiring so it can still be next season will just have to wait and see. but jimmy g as far as his time here, more than likely. i know a lot of people swoon over him more than likely his good looks w

the forty-niners news fans are flying to los angeles to watch the niners rams nfc championship matchuprow. kron four's gayle ong caught up with some of those fans at oakland international airport. >> now a caller from san francisco will be cheering the niners on from the stands at sofi stadium sunday and can't wait to get you know, we're diehard niner fan. >> born and raised. so this is just this is our moment. we want to take it. and she's not the only niners fan catching a flight to los angeles from oakland international airport. >> on team. mostly won't be at the stamp our door to the game. but i got to go down there be in the vicinity to give that energy. >> just like they've been given on the field. i'm a person that likes to watch it from from the can see every day. cheryl in rome now cannon have similar plans feel the energy around other 9 earth and then really the you know, all this. 9 whether it's watching the game live or being around like minded fans, the forty-niners fateful are hoping for another victory with the when you know it's best in the game. you you know. >> but th

forty-niners are in california anymore.e some good news to report the forty-niners announced the star defensive end. nick bosa has cleared concussion protocols and will be able to play both to finish the regular season. 4th in the nfl in sacks with 15 and a half. you will be critical in pressuring aaron rodgers tomorrow. the key for the forty-niners offense will be finding success on the ground. the packers run defense is suspect allowing an average 4.7 yards per carry, which is 3rd worst in the nfl running back elijah mitchell wide receiver turned runningback to boost annual need to have huge games. here's head coach kyle shanahan on the matchup. many guys are a little tired at the beginning of the week, but i think we're ready to >> don't mind the travel and you get a, you sit in a hotel room a lot more. you get a long plane ride. let me rest when you're at home, too. but people do have family and stuff that, you know, it's inside or sit there and zone out when whole around the whole said this in a hotel room. so i think

. >> kylen the niners are what? roughly 5 point underdogs in this game. it's obviously going to be frigid. do have a prediction. a final score. >> i think that the forty-niners were going pull off a huge upset. i think they're teamed up for one. they're totally different team that when they played green bay in week 3, they they're clicking right now. everything is working as far as the final score. that's so hard. i feel like it's going to be a high scoring affair just because you have aaron rodgers and the forty-niners offense has been saw also lightly. let me get back to you on that one grounded back tonight on the final score. i got to really think through my prediction here till 7 time, you can tweet it out as well and >> yeah, a lot of points. i would agree with that. kylen mills live for us tonight. appreciate that, kyra. i love that. with time. fog in san francisco, nothing new. but check out this amazing. >> time lapse video of the dense fog will roll into the bay area this morning. it shows the fog literall

with the niners as well. coach kyle shanahan john lynch. a great season for them. but for now, let me send it back to coach james mcveigh. i mean, wearing the niners. i skews me. the rams tied the james knows sean mcvay this is my warriors time because i'm turning my sights now on bay area team that could potentially win it all. look at this time. it was not a good look at what will is not buying >> different day. you're you're playing you, james. double agent. i would be surprised if you are rocking the rams gear. yeah. oh, yeah. the niners won. he would have been wearing his red tide this morning saying is is so smart. he has all the colors it. basically from a break viewers right we're just teasing. but yeah, he always looks so all right. thank james. we know you're a warriors fan. that's how horrible timing. yes, it just didn't work out that way for me. thank you very much. will it is a 12? we'll take a break. >> and all the change might i? still ahead on the kron 4 morning news thieves. >> they target an

forty-niners fans. we are so and from last game, fans at the airport going to green bay felt invincible against the cold and the packers. >> it slammed mean like what an experience going to see your team at lambeau. like for playoff game. that's a it's kind of a bucket list item that i can recall this. we're going to definitely win or come back with that w. >> they are. we don't not going all the way out there to the dep freezing cold today. and now we don't do that. >> yeah, i love that enthusiasm. all right. well, guess what? the forty-niners packers game tonight. it is currently the number one highest selling nfl game on stub hub this weekend. there's other games going on if you believe it or not. but take a look who's buying the tickets. the average ticket price, by the way, $331. and the most fans are coming from california represent. that's 23% coming from california followed by 17% fans in wisconsin. mine tickets and percent, illinois. so that's kind of interesting right now. there are currently

go niners. i would be about people that are excited as i am. i want niner fans around when we score and when we all manager freddy lim has been gearing up for the niners rams matchups with been here for 25 years. >> 25 years for a reason. this is original 49 or bar. you say the is this is crazy and this every 9 or play a game with >> and it's only hours before kickoff and hoping for another. >> that niners is all good fun. the promised land. you >> in berlin games. go for you. >> yeah, we'll be talking with more fans and have their reaction after the game. that's coming up tonight for you here on kron. 4 news at 8 in prime time. plus, sports director jason dumas school have an update on the game and the team that the niners or the rams will play in the super bowl coming up in just a few moments. but some other news tonight happening right now for thousands of comcast customers in the east bay. they can actually watch the game right now. they are without service tonight after bullets severed a fiber optic line this morning. this is a look at the

niners run game, run game. and this was the biggest run of the season right there. 37 from wide receiver by the wide receiver kyle shanahan has said if they can get the 30 rush attempts, they will be okay. 29 rush attempts in green bay alijah mitchell's growing up. but for our eyes there we see him again. great zone. run. guy. and you know that that's going to be the key to this forty-niners offensive deebo samuel had a rushing touchdown in both previous games against the rams this season. so take that for what you will look at. even jimmy jenkins kind of mark it up with everybody and get himself in the trenches. and you've got a lot healthy, too, though. yeah, big part of it. and it's this crazy what the boe has been able to do this season runs like that and you number one and everybody knows it. jimmy garoppolo. obviously we can't have froze like this all game. i mean, he escapes the pocket as we saw tries to find george kittle here. just not not great. you know, we call of the know throws he has to manage th

the niners. got to play saturday. we're going to be in frigid green bay. this is not the place to simulate that weather, but hey, guys on the practice field, jimmy g's shoulder looks pretty good. jason dumas, our sports director has reaction from george kittle and the crew about playing in the tundra and one persistent coaches is interviewing for a coaching job. is there a distraction? >> plus, to fans of opposing teams now for ever bonded how a fast-acting bengals fan jumped into action to save a life. when a truck hit my car, the insurance company wasn't fair. i didn't know what my case was worth, so i called the barnes firm. i'm rich barnes. it's hard for people to know how much their accident case is worth. let our injury attorneys help you get the best result possible. your eyes. beautiful on the outside, but if you have diabetes, there can be some not-so-pretty stuff going on inside. it's true, with diabetic retinopathy, excess sugar can damage blood vessels, causing vision loss or even bli

that niners. they've on the rams for the last 3 years winning 6 consecutive games and this will be game 7. they hope to do that. they have history on their side because since the year 2000 that is happened 7 times and it could happen many more times as the record is 8 straight time. so yes is hard but very doable. and they will rpbe fully equipped because the niners are coming down there with a full staff, all of their injured players they use this week to either hit each other lightly just to knock off some of the roster, just dressed all together. so when they hit the field, jimmy g and the game will be at full strength. we try to take on the niners. they will not be alone because we are hearing that 45% of fans in northern california as far as the niners fans of the ticket sales that is coming from northern california and then the other 20% of this ticket sales on 3rd parties, party sites coming from southern california altogether. that adds up. if you're not good with math, that adds up to 2 o

should be cowboys versus forty-niners and packers versus forty-niners and it's awesome to be a part of it. get any kind of feeling about how >> historic rivalry is. a need to state not really. >> well, the votes not we are right more to come on red and gold zone. let's break down the game with an expert. we talked with sports illustrated writer grant cohn. he gives us his keys to a possible forty-niners win next. >> welcome back bull's own our second playoff edition of red bull's own grand comb from sports illustrated is here to help us. it's packers game coming up on saturday evening. grant, always great to have you here with us. but last dallas game because that was absolutely crazy. crazy. good to go. how longer do you think the forty-niners can sustain the last really? >> what i look at it is it's taxing. i mean, the one in la was an overtime game. this game against the cowboys really should have been done midway through the 3rd quarter. but then jimmy garoppolo miss that long past. sealed it and there were a bunch of just mistakes along the way that. gave the cowboys life. now loo

now, the niners have another day of practice today and then we'll head down to l a and so our niner fans, they're planning on traveling to cheer the team on kron four's will tran is standing by live out of sfo hope and have chatted with a few. have you seen any yet? i know it's little little early. will. >> it's a little early. but, you know, like our producer richard said, if they're cheap tickets, you go when you go. and so for right now, it is quiet. you can see just the lack of activity behind me. remember last week when i was here, we saw so many niners fans take off the green bay. but this time, unlike last week, they have the option to drive. but the bottom line is, james, this is probably the start of getaway weekend for niners fans either. they will be driving or flying starting today. and when they go, obviously they have their tickets on their phones or literally the paper ticket themselves because this is the hottest ticket in town, meaning they built its or whatever. here and make so fy stadium in los angeles, a home game for the san francisco forty-niners early estimations.

that niners. they've on the rams for the last 3 years winning 6 consecutive games and this will be game 7. they hope to do that. they have history on their side because since the year 2000 that is happened 7 times and it could happen many more times as the record is 8 straight time. so yes is hard but very doable. and they will be fully equipped because the niners are coming down there with a full staff, all of their injured players they use this week to either hit each other lightly just to knock off some of the roster, just dressed all together. so when they hit the field, jimmy g and the game will be at full strength. we try to take on the niners. they will not be alone because we are hearing that 45% of fans in northern california as far as the niners fans of the ticket sales that is coming from the other 20% of this ticket p- sales on 3rd parties, party sites coming from southern california altogether. that adds up. if you're not good with math, that adds up to 2 out of 3 seats at so fi stadi

he was also at the afc championship game, where the niners won. and headed to the super bowl where the quest for six went unfulfilled. but that year mario did something more important. he decided to start twitter, facebook, and instagram opinions about the niners in spanish. >> just facts. >> reporter: news about the niners in spanish was hard to find. so mario reached out to the man in charge, the team's owner. >> i dm'd him, and he answered me. i asked him for more content in spanish. >> reporter: yorkly applies, we will get on that. and they have. >> every year there is more information in spanish. i love it. >> the first memory to have a football with the niners and the dallas cowboys. >> reporter: carlos himself kbru up a 49er fan in mexico. being a part of the team that was part of my childhood for me is a dream come true. >> reporter: now he says the number of faithful fans in mexico has exploded. >> there is growth in how many fans are because people who love the niners they have been teaching their kids. >> reporter: kids who love social

the forty-niners have the recent edge here. they beat the rams twice already this season that made it 6 straight wins in the series. and kyle shanahan is 7 in 3 all time as a head coach against la as coach sean mcvay in a conference call this afternoon. shanahan said the fact that these 2 teams know each other so well just makes the game even better. >> we've been through this so over the last 2 years. so it's not much seeing the 3rd time as it was a second time. that also is the first time, you know, just what the coaches that's been the same i don't think there's many there's not much things we can surprise them with and staying with them. what doesn't which i think is kind of the most fun way as 2 really good teams was a really good football game can't really trust each other. you got to go out and got to go out and beat somebody. >> i can envision both these coaches having a few tricks up their sleeve. so we'll see. but here's one more cool note. this will be the 17th conference championship appearence for the forty-niners

well, forty-niners fans are still making their way out to la to watch the niners rams nfc championship matchup this sunday kron four's gayle ong caught up with some of them over at the oakland international airport. >> now a caller from san francisco will be cheering the niners on from the stands at sofi stadium sunday and can't wait to get you know, we're diehard fan. >> born and raised. so this is just this is our moment. we want to take it and she's not the only niners fan catching a flight to los angeles from oakland international airport. >> on team. mostly won't be at the stamp our door to the game. but i got to go down there be in the vicinity to give that energy. >> just like they've been given on the field. i'm a person that likes to watch it from from the can see every day. cheryl in rome out canon have similar plans fill the energy around other 9 earth. and then really the law wrapping all this. 9 whether it's watching the game live or being around like minded fans, the forty-niners fateful are hoping for another victory with the when you know just you know. >> but the last

kylie. >> hey, jonathan, just enough big night for the forty-niners near fans. kickoff happened about 45 minutes ago. the forty-niners and packers game well underway and the dramas unfolding in chile, northern wisconsin right now. it is a 14 degrees in green bay. temperatures expected to drop to 10 degrees by the end of the game with chances for snow. also talk about some top conditions. the forty-niners are battling it out to score right now. 7 zip packers with the lead as we begin the 2nd quarter. green bay scored in the opening drive of the forty-niners struggle to get any offense going. luckily they did recover a pack, ul packers fumble rather and the defense came up big on the packers second possession of the game and they were able to prevent potentially a second packers touchdown and prevent green bay for going up by 2 scores. so they're not too much of a hole right now. 2nd quarter just getting under way. so there's still plenty of time. we will have an update on that score coming up in sports in just a bit. we'll send it back to you in the studio. all r

the niners in the headlines. we've got all kinds of stuff for you and weather and traffic to which are cooperating. i think so far so good. and john is following weather and the roads for filling in. >> double duty. still still doing the double amputee and is still looking at some fog out there, which is kind of an impact on both the weather this morning. just a little misty cools, a start. and then you're driving through that fog. you can see the golden gate bridge barely pier in up out of that fog that settled into the bay. very dense for the south bay in portio

grant the niners have had the rams number for so long.ust i'm hard pressed to believe they would lose it. niners more physical team out takes an for san francisco. there we go. all righty. appreciate you. cuyler. >> and still to come on, kron, 4 news at 8, 2, young boys saved their neighbor's dog from a burning house fire. they share the details of this heroic rescue. go see it. 2 quick thinking. boys in rhode island came to the rescue of their neighbors. dogs trapped inside a burning house. >> she okay. house covid look up 911, call 9, 1, 4, >> quick thinking quick acting anthony lombardi and kamela were riding their bikes past. there. but he's house. this is new year's day. the video just out now they heard the fire alarms going off and barking coming from inside the house doorbell camera footage here shows us the 2 approaching the home opening the front door after being given the security code by their friend's father and then to the dogs right now. but a puppy was locked inside his crate. so one of the boys quickly ran inside to let t

so that's very good omen for the forty-niners and the team that swept. >> the season, the forty-niners they have won 3 out of 3 games, right? so the undefeated as far as that statistics that also favors the forty-niners. and then one thing that we really need to talk about. rest rate. the niners played on saturday. the rams played on sunday 12 times. they faced each other in the conference finals. and that record is 16 8 favoring the team that played on saturday, giving them one extra day rest, right? we i think points to the forty-niners coach kyle shanahan says no way, way, way way. we still have to play that. we have to make sure we don't take our foot off the gas pedal. >> i mean, every time reading came word that we talk about and how quickly all these things can change and how quick game can get out of hand. go back to our first game this year with detroit and being a 41 to 17 with them in a 58 left and we went by 8 points and they have the ball them or experience you get on that. you start to realize you should never be comfortable should never be comfortable to that game. and t

and that's why one 40 niner fan has kept his niners themed light display up as a good luck charm aheade. check it out. yeah. this out of sacramento, this homeowner puts up a replica forty-niners football field. the forty-niners logo, the jersey up on the garage. even a model golden gate bridge too. the owner of the house has been putting up this forty-niners team display since the 1990's back in the golden age of the forty-niners in each year. he sets it up around thanksgiving just in time for the holidays. this year, though, he says he's keeping it up to bring the niners some good luck in the playoffs and to bring a little bit of joy to the community. >> i like people to enjoy it. i just feel like i'm i'm helping. yeah. maybe lightning up to out of here people's out. you know that we feel right now. it is. but it is pretty dark times right now. hopefully help this and plus a plus we're supporting forty-niners over. get >> right. you thought the outside was impressive, you're going to have to take a sneak peek inside to check it out. >> this is the room that bruce ellsworth calls his f

the niners have had the upper hand on this division. their division rivals in recent memory kron on's will tran has more on what's going on today. >>they are going to hit each other today for the first time this week. they got an advantage by playing early on saturday. the last time that the rams were here, they but weapon when they played the forty-niners, they lost 31 to 10 and then couple weeks ago when they play this sunday, it will be exactly 3 weeks when they had a meltdown for the ages when they were up 17 points against the niners and then they let the niners come back in when and why was that so important? because had the rams won, the niners would not even be in the playoffs altogether. the trends, if you want to based on history is for sweeping a team in a regular season facing each other for a 3rd time. history says that the niners should win, but that's why they play the game. there's that phrase any given sunday. nobody knows that better than coach kyle shanahan who says when they hit the field, it is just pedal to the met

the forty-niners really love to use in short yardage situations.has been healthy for most of the season so that they'll be able to have some answers for him if he's not able to play kylen live at sofi stadium in la kate rooney kron 4 sports. >> pretty good news on the injury front, kate. so the team is leaving tonight, even though it's a short trip to l a what is kyle shanahan said about leaving on friday instead of saturday for this game. >> well, a group of players came up to him earlier in the week and asked if they could leave on friday instead of saturday. and the reason for that is because they want to be locked in if they get to la early, it just allows them to drown out everything else they're used to dealing with at home and focus on football. focus on the game ahead. so that's the plan they're supposed to arrive here around 10, 30 11 o'clock tonight. shanahan said he expects that they'll all just go straight to that. >> straight to bed straight to business. i like it. kate, thank you so much. we'll be checking in with her later on tonight

then the forty-niners, which is why the forty-niners with a wild card team. but the forty-niners they have gold literally. >> you know, i've had a lot of very close games with these guys. we've had some lopsided games on both sides of the other day. it's literally about playing our brand of football do you want to see them in the playoff? sure, like there's a lot of great teams. obviously, nancy, and i'm not shocked that they're in the nfc championship by any means. and we're familiar with them. they're familiar with us to be a great game. where was the gun right at the right time? and that's what? >> that's what the whole. that's what the season's about what that football is about. as you've got to make sure your you're playing at your best. your best is and so we're going near everybody's best come sunday. >> the niners, they're very happy that fred warner is able to play. remember, he was injured close to the end of the game against the packers, but he should be ready to go. trent williams, he didn't practice yesterday and he's basically lock and key for t

routing the niners and they are big niners fans. and if you can't pass along good try to do a lot of things getting blamed. you know, we drive my best with what we can blame their mom. you know, that make you can forty-niners fans. >> saw it. but as you started holding up that jersey yoli pushed the camera and on the forty-niners logo behind you because she big 40 niner fan too. and i know we'll she's born and raised there, yours absolutely. and will been getting a lot of flack online for being a dallas cowboy fan. that's fine. folks, relax. he's not malicious. he's just misguided. we're still working on thank it's going make a chime in social out to our general manager jim rose. >> he's from everybody said, are you a niners fan because he lives here as well. i remember when he showed up and became our boss, he said. >> i'm a pittsburgh steelers fan. that's where he's from. so you know what? you have to own it. there is nothing more the newsroom's and then they move. they're all of a sudden they become the fans because they have to

this is likely his final year with the niners. let's start in 3rd quarter, though, to give you some context. it looks like this is going to be a blowout. deebo samuel sees the field beautifully. he scores on the run in the niners. >> go up. 23 to 7. i'm thinking, hey, this one is over. but the cowboys scored 10 quick points after a jimmy garoppolo interception and they gave himself a chance. final sequence right here with wild dak prescott. he scrambles and tries to spike the ball. but as you can see, looking at getting back to the line of scrimmage runs into the rest. the rep asked the reset the ball and the clock runs out. they didn't get it off in time. the niners win. 23 to 17. they will now face the green bay packers at lambeau field. next week. they lost to the packers back at home in september all week 3. that was a wild game ended on a long field goal for the packers. so should be a good re max. that game is next week. we'll have full highlights later on in the show. >> what endemic phase of a firewall infection means is t

should be. >> cowboys versus forty-niners and packers versus forty-niners and it's awesome to be a part of it. >> it isn't just the cold. the forty-niners have to worry about in lambeau. of course. in fact, the actual opponent is a lot more from edible. >> future hall of fame quarterback in aaron rodgers. check one of the top receivers in the league. devontae adams. yep. a 1, 2 punch on the ground with aaron jones and aj dillon. yeah, they've got that, too. and the packers are working on getting some of their best defensive players back from injuries in time for the game. but green bay will still have its hands full with the forty-niners in particular the run game. check this out since 2000, 19, san francisco is 23 in one when carrying the ball, at least 30 times. the niners were 7th in the league in rush yards per game during the regular season. and they're not so secret weapon. deebo samuel is where the packers will be putting most of their energy on saturday. >> he's capable of taking it the distance, whether it's in the pass game weather is the pass game weather is getting a jet swe

niners fans flooded so far. look how annoyed they are so much so that it prompted players wives to take the twitter pleading rams fans to buy some tickets for this game. this time around. kelly stafford was simply dumbfounded that her husband had to go to a silent count in his own building. the organization they actually restricted ticketmaster sales to credit cards with la zip codes. they denied it and then day later that restriction suddenly disappeared. you know what i say? stand on your actions. cowards. some other nfl news. let's go around the league. sean payton, this guy, he's calling it quits. he announced that he is stepping down as saints head coach after 16 long years in his first year in the big easy, he was named coach of the year. for years later, he won a super bowl in 2010. he beat peyton manning in them down in rainy >> remember that game? the colts gave up a touchdown late on a pick 6. he stressed that retirement is not the right word for this. but >> he says he does not plan to coach another t

at that 0, 23 to 17 the niners. if you watched the game, you know, they had a chance to clock when it all out. here's a play that had me jumping. from my couch and look like george kittle bumble of the ball with the cowboys recovering with 5 minutes no, but look at this. upon further review. the ball touches the ground and ruled incomplete. the niners. they did not manage to run out the clock. they punted the ball and that set up for this play here that everybody will be talking about along with the catch prescott instead of throwing a hail mary. he runs right up. the middle slides tries to get back up. but instead giving the ball to the ref, just gives it to a center clocks. the ball. game over clock. time runs out. that's biden's move on to face green bay packers. the packers. i mean, the cowboys like me and all the other fans left wondering what happened. we're not the only ones, even the niners in victory saying what just happened. >> so trying to figure out where i'm at it was pretty emotional out. there lots o

the niners to even raider fan.ing to be a great day for the game. the weather down there. that's going to be perfect as it usually is at this time of year. >> in los angeles, a beautiful stadium there, downtown game time beginning at 03:30pm, in the afternoon. the temperature just about perfect, 70 degrees outside sunny skies and warm. >> and just a very light breeze. so should be a great game in southern california back in the bay area. we've got beautiful sites along the golden gate bridge. skies are staying clear. now you see the flag. boeing will in the when they're actually going back toward the coastline that is the offshore wind that has been keeping skies nice and brought us some very nice temperatures around the bay area of the one thing that has suffered a bit their quality. you've seen that the haze out there today as high pressure sits over head, not much in the way of wind down below sure, not see much mix in the atmosphere and that leads to some poor air quality. moderate amounts includes building up

like the forty-niners great niner day. and let's take a look at what we can expect for your take-home forecast because it is the weekend after all it at donner summit. >> we're tracking fortunately above average snowfall. so this year's snow packed still tracking about 111% of normal. as far as that average goes for the snow pack. so even though we've had a dry spell for the last couple of weeks, fortunately still holding steady. i love to see it above 100%. still can't get over that. let's take a live look at radar we are starting to cool down into the 40's, far inland valleys in the east bay, but still in the upper 50's for downtown san francisco. overall, great weather. if you're out celebrating the forty-niners win because this is just huge. i was so excited watching the game to radar for, though, for south lake tahoe, very dry, calm conditions. lake wind advisory no longer in effect for this year. and we're tracking not only that, but also a lot of sunshine for the 2nd half the weekend. temperatures warming up into th

the forty-niners side. we'll start at about $2000. but how about the cost of flights to la? well, right now, prices hovering around 40 excuse me, $70. that's still not bad. $70 for a one-way from sfo to la x friday night. that ticket at least is fairly cheap. now to our 4 zone forecast. i let's look live at la x. that's a pretty shot in a few. 40 niner fans have already been arriving wanting to make a week of it could getting ready for sunday's game cheaper to fly there and back it in the building are from joining us now with a look at the forecast for sunday in la how we doing rebecca hayward and good. that is if you temperatures that feel more like summer time, a high near 70 for sunday's game. not so we're expecting. >> in la kick at 3.30, mostly clear skies. so it is going to be nice and warm air. and of course, forty-niners were used to this california weather, right? so hopefully once they take on southern california feel pretty much like home. well, back at speaking of the weather here, golden gate b

fans with area was a sea of red. 2 out of 3 seats were occupied by niners fans and that helped the niners just. the low out. the door is pretty. early in the game. maybe they were ahead 10 to 7 at halftime. and then one point, james and they were had 17 to 7. it looked like they were ready to just stop on the rams, especially after george kittle caught a touchdown going into the 4th quarter. all they had to do was maintained the lead and that was point. matt stafford almost gave the niners the kill shot. >> for the self-inflicted wound. we need through a lame duck up in the air to cost the tart had a chance to come down with the interception. you will never have an easier chance to catch the interception. instead, it drops. the rams continue down the field. they score. they close the gap. and then they kicked the field goal to go ahead. that gave jimmy g some time to go down to the field down the field to either bring it to overtime or even when the game altogether. but unfortunately, for the niners and their fans, he scrambled. the lefty was grabbed by aaron donald. he try to make a play

first, we'll start with some forty-niners injury updates.d coach kyle shanahan says all pro offensive tackle trent williams is dealing with an ankle sprain. his status is unclear for the nfc championship game this weekend. losing him would really hurt the o-line on the positive side starting cornerback ambry thomas is recovering quickly from a bone bruise in his knee. there is a good chance he'll play this weekend after sitting out against green bay chan said he's hopeful thomas can practice in some capacity tomorrow. that would be a nice boost to the secondary. as for the matchup against the rams, the forty-niners are very confident heading into this game. they've won 9 of their last 11 games, including an overtime win over the rams in la just 2 and a half weeks ago, they were down 17 zip at one point in that game but managed to battle back. the rams have not be in the 40 niners since 2018 losing the last 6 straight. why is it that the forty-niners seem to have the rams number? our kate
