Vernon Davis was the best moment of professional attached to the bone-rattling collision with the New Orleans Saints Harper ROMANIAN safety. Forgive the end of the San Francisco 49ers tight if it seems confused about how long I dreamed of this moment drama.
"Since fishing," said Davis, who attended Dunbar High in the district and the University of Maryland.
Given that Dwight Clark made his descendants, and the launch received in 1981 and Davis was born in 1984, which seems likely to some extent.
But the feeling is very appreciated. 14-yard touchdown catch Davis in the laser-like throw from quarterback Alex Smith with nine seconds left in favor of stunning 36-32 victory over the sealed saints and placed in the 49ers NFC Championship for the first time in 14 years.
Davis touchdown, his second of the game, ending a series of four landing marked change of lead, two minutes each team in the final 4 2 seconds.
Took the first Saints, who trailed 17-0 at the beginning of the second quarter, and lead for the first time from 0.24 to 23.44 yards pick up Darren Sproles and implementation. But Smith, answered a playoff rookie and teased by his seven years with the 49ers, in the next group. And found Davis of the band for 37 yards, with a perfect pass on the shoulder. Three plays later, Smith and rolled around the left end and raced 28 yards for a touchdown and lead.
There is a need for Brees, who threw two interceptions, but completed 40 of 63 passes for 462 yards and four touchdowns, only four plays to regain the lead with a touchdown pass of 66 yards to tight end Jimmy Graham. Saints led 32-29.
With 1:37 to play, and got the ball on the 49ers offense. Got another deep pass to Davis 49ers in a position to tie the game with the goal of the field. But the 49ers do not play it safe. Will be called "post Vernon," a work which had been working all week in practice from the right side throughout the week, but decided to run to the left.
"I know that there are" fishing "," said Jim Harbaugh, the coach who became 6.10 afterthought in the power of NFC. "We do not know what to call it."
Davis titled quickly, "Thomas does not."
49ers will face the winner to submit to the Packers Giants game Sunday. If the Giants win the Super Bowl champions, will host the 49ers NFC Championship on Sunday at Candlestick Park.
After eight seasons of the playoffs, also issued a number of laughingstock of the league, he was overcome any wonder Davis with a passion after completion.
"The story was going through my mind," said Davis, who finished Saturday's game with seven reception for 180 yards and two touchdowns. "We are against the" no "against us" You can not. "It was a very emotional game."
Davis was also emotional for his quarterback for a long time, Smith. Smith and all his colleagues.
"It's suitable for all what happened," said Joe Staley deal. "To come face to face with Drew Brees and the Saints in New Orleans."
The result was a turning point on Saturday is unlikely and unexpected events in the season and the 49ers improbable and unpredictable.
Teams entered the game on opposite sides of the football universe. The aim is to accelerate Santos, and management record of the crime through their opponents. The Saints won nine games in a row and was coming off a playoff victory against Detroit, which were stacked in the record of a comma - 626 yards.
49ers are designed such as brakes - stop the other teams with their defense is strong and opportunistic. This is the way that won the most games this season, 13, and benefit from the mistakes of others, with the rate of rotation of the best player in the league for more than 28 countries. Is there any chance to defeat the Saints are expected to begin and end with the Ministry of Defence.
A large part of Saturday's game, script worked perfectly. A group of 49 to defend himself, racking up five assists and Santos opened 17 points.
The Saints have not won a playoff opponent on the stadium and lost last year in the Seattle Seahawks. It seems that the fresh air was bothering them again. But the saints and the team believes that there is a daunting 17-0 deficit, and launched Brees coolly after his return to his country.
When doubts about the 49ers and offensive capability to emerge.
However, Smith and Davis, two players who formed the nucleus of 49ers in difficult times, connected at its best. Made in the area corresponding to Clark that history - - the final for landing at the end of the day, to-date as the beginning of a new era in the history of 49ers.
"On the way, there was a lot of skepticism," said Davis.
