Tie-53. December 23, 2013 The Pick at the Stick
The 49ers should have lost the final regular season game ever played at Candlestick Park.
The Falcons trailed 10 points with 5 left, scored, successfully made an onside kick, and drove to the Niner 10. Their win expectation from that spot with a little over a minute left was 66%.
Then a Tremaine Brock deflection/NaVorro Bowman pick six reversed the Niner fortune, giving San Francisco a playoff spot and keeping the Niners in position to possibly play postseason football at home.
With Willie Mays and Jerry Rice both looking on, Candlestick provided one last great moment and the Niners beat the Falcons 34-24
