Comments:
The Broncos reclaim the lead, thanks to the indirect power of having recently played the Ravens. Note the Bengals and Giants also both move up 2 spots.
This is the first time since the 1997 season that both home teams lost in the Championship round.
This is the third season in a row a 4th-seeded or lower team has advanced to the Super Bowl.
The 49ers win makes them 2-5 in their last 7 Conference Championships. Overall, this is just the 2nd time they've won on the road.
Both losing teams had a lead at halftime, and both were shut out in the second half.
So, Harbaugh vs. Harbaugh? Yeah, we're going to hear a lot about that in the next two weeks.
