ATLANTA (CBS / AP) — Make way Joe Montana and Steve Young. Colin Kaepernick is leading a brash new group of 49ers to the Super Bowl.
San Francisco is ready to start a new dynasty in the Big Easy with a familiar formula: The clutch quarterback, the genius coach and the big-play defense.
Kaepernick and Frank Gore led the 49ers to a record comeback in the NFC championship game Sunday, overcoming an early 17-0 deficit to beat the Atlanta Falcons 28-24 and send the 49ers to their first Super Bowl since 1995.
Gore scored a pair of touchdowns, including the winner with 8:23 remaining for San Francisco’s first lead of the day, and the 49ers defense made it stand up. A fourth-down stop at the 10-yard line denied Atlanta another stirring comeback after blowing a big lead.
“Everybody does a little,” 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said, “and it adds up to be a lot.”
