What a way to close down Candlestick Park. The last regular season game to be played there was on Monday Night football. The 49ers still have some hope to play a playoff game there also, but they need some help. One thing the 34-24 victory over the Falcons did is clinch a playoff berth.
Candlestick went out in style as they brought back all the greats from the football and baseball side who played there. Jerry Rice, Steve Young and Willie Mays were in attendance just to name a few.
With the 49ers up 27-24 the Falcons executed a great onside kick that Bowman let get under him and was recovered by Snelling. With the momentum in the Falcons favor all signed pointed to at least the Falcons tying the game. What happened next will always be talked about amongst 49ers fans, I know it was a regular season game, but I don’t care, Brock jumped the route, knocked the ball up and Bowman grabbed it with one hand and ran 89 yards for the game clinching pick six. I was hype, but I had to control my excitement because I was the only one up.
Hell of a way to shut down Candlestick Park, this play just adds to the dope memories.
