Green Bay Packers 21-24 San Francisco 49ers: Christian McCaffrey seals thriller as 49ers reach NFC Championship Game

Christian McCaffrey’s second touchdown of the game and Dre Greenlaw’s interception in the closing stages saw the NFC No 1 seed San Francisco 49ers advance to the Championship Game

Christian McCaffrey’s touchdown with 1.11 remaining and an interception from Dre Greenlaw helped the San Francisco 49ers avoid an upset and snatch a 24-21 win over the Green Bay Packers to advance to the NFC Championship Game.

George Kittle’s second-quarter touchdown was enough to give the 49ers a slender 7-6 lead at half-time in the pouring rain of this Divisional Round clash at Levi’s Stadium, with two field goals from Anders Carlson accounting for the Packers’ points.

However, the game sprang to life in a wild third quarter which saw Green Bay establish a seven-point lead on the back of touchdowns from Bo Melton and Tucker Kraft, plus a successful two-point conversion, which sandwiched one from McCaffrey.
