Blowing a 10-point lead had put an end to the 49ers\u2019 two previous playoff appearances, but not this time.<\/p>\n

The 49ers let a 10-0 first-half lead evaporate Saturday, then they rallied to dispatch the Seattle Seahawks 41-23 in their wild-card opener.<\/p>\n

A second-half surge allowed the No. 2-seed 49ers (14-4) to recapture the lead, their confidence, and their momentum. They\u2019ll take an 11-game winning streak into next weekend\u2019s divisional round, where they\u2019ll host either the No. 2 Minnesota Vikings, the No. 4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers or the No. 5 Dallas Cowboys.<\/p>\n

It will be the Vikings if they win Sunday against the No. 6 Giants. If the Vikings lose, the Tampa Bay-Dallas winner will come to Levi\u2019s Stadium, most likely next Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe talk about the end game (of a Super Bowl quest), but you don\u2019t get there unless you win one, and I\u2019m proud of the guys that we won one today,\u201d linebacker Fred Warner said.<\/p>\n
