NFL playoffs, San Francisco wins on last drive
Puddy, 49ers QB, decisive in the match's last drive
San Francisco will play NFC Championship Game, the fourth in the last five years. A pass won at the end of a battle that was, sportingly speaking, epic. The 49ers, at Levi's Stadium, prevailed over the surprising Packers 24-21 but at the last gasp. At the start of the fourth period, Green Bay was ahead 21-14. Puddy, San Francisco's QB, shifted gears in the late game.
"We needed a win like that" said defensive lineman Nick Bosa. "It had been a long time since we won in a comeback". Even clearer is Puddy, finally convincing when the ball is really hot: "We knew about the importance of the game. 'This è our season…", we told ourselves. It's been great to win with a game like this", his words reported by ESPN.
In the other playoff game, valid for the pass to the AFC Championship Game, convincing victory for the Ravens who swept the Texans with a bombastic 34-10. Game never in dispute with Baltimore taking the lead after halftime with a heavy partial (24-0) that sent the Texans to the mat. Super performance by Jackson (four TDs).
