Niners Battle Back, Hold Off Pesky Falcons In Candlestick Park (Regular-Season) Finale, Clinch Playoff Berth; Still Can Win NFC West And #1 Playoff Seed

At San Francisco:

In the final regular-season contest at Candlestick Park on Monday night, linebacker Na Vorro Bowman ran back an interception 89 yards for a touchdown with 70 seconds remaining as the San Francisco 49ers (11-4) locked up their third consecutive playoff berth with a 34-24 home win over the Atlanta Falcons (4-11).

The 49ers can still win the NFC West Division title with a road win at Arizona, coupled with a Seattle loss at home to St. Louis.  Should these two things happen and Carolina loses (or ties) at Atlanta, the Niners can still claim top seed in the NFC playoffs.
