NFL Playoffs 2022: 49ers defeat Cowboys, advance to NFC Championship Game to face Eagles.

Brock-Purdy rolled to his left and observed that his first possibilities were all taken. George Kittle, who had been going long, broke loose at the last second. Purdy threw across his body, and Kittle caught it while juggling, starting San Francisco's lone touchdown drive.

Thanks to a stifling defensive effort, that one huge play turned out to be enough to advance the 49ers to their second consecutive NFC championship game.

..........

On Sunday, Christian-McCaffrey completed that drive with a winning 2-yard run, and the defence tightened up after that to secure a 19-12 victory over the Dallas Cowboys.

The 49ers (15-4) wore out the Cowboys (13-6) in the second half with back-to-back lengthy touchdown drives, winning their 12th straight game. San Francisco will face the Eagles in the NFC championship game on Sunday in Philadelphia thanks to their victory..

The Cowboys suffered their seventh consecutive divisional round defeat and haven't advanced to the NFC championship game since the 1995 season, when they won their fifth Super Bowl championship.

Dak Prescott threw two picks, and Brett Maher's attempt to make his sixth extra point of the playoffs was blocked. Later, he scored two field goals.

Prescott's third postseason completion to tight end Dalton Schultz gave the Cowboys their lone touchdown of the first half. Samson Ebukam stopped Maher's low extra-point effort, though.
