While Smith again failed to take the quarterback down, he turned in one of his best performances of the season by recording pressure seven times (2 Hits, 5 Hurries) and being a persistent nuisance to the Falcons’ running game, even though he recorded only one tackle. He was able to get penetration into the backfield to force redirects and helped ensure the Falcons could never control the tempo with the lead. Smith even spent some time in an interior alignment, over Peter Konz, late in the second quarter, and recorded pressure from there on the Falcons’ final touchdown drive.

– Ray Lewis isn’t the only one playing well through a potentially season-ending triceps injury. He may not be a force as a pass rusher (only two hurries in two playoff games), but Justin Smith is playing the run tremendously with three stops in each of the 49ers’ victories and plenty of disruption around those stops.

Since the AFC and NFC formed in 1970, this is just the 3rd time that both road teams won conference championships (1992 and '97).

Mike Iupati allowed 1 sack and 3 hurries. Rest of SF O allowed 0 pressure. I don't recall 1 player allowing 100% of the pressure before

Kaepernick was also 6-7, 88 yards and a TD when using play action yesterday. Perfect 158.3 rating.

Saw Mike Pereira at ATL airport. He said ref Terry McAulay got it right on review. Could not overturn Douglas catch; replay inconclusive.

To be fair to Terrell Brown I think he's got a pretty good case that pushoff hitch thing Julio Jones was running is OPI

Thank you!

Nielsen: 49ers-Falcons drew 42M TV viewers. Ravens-Pats drew 47.7M TV viewers.

Poor CBS (for the Super Bowl). :)
