49ers lose tight Championship game in overtime

The New York Football Giants beat our hometown San Francisco 49ers Sunday night in overtime by making a winning field goal, 20-17.  As a result, the Giants are the National Conference Champions and will advance to the Superbowl to face the New England Patriots in Indianapolis on February 5.  Giants Quarterback Eli Manning predicted a great Superbowl.  Manning was sacked six times and experienced twenty knock-downs during the five quarters of play with a tough San Francisco team, playing in rain at Candlestick Park throughout the game.
