The Falcons will be playing in the NFC championship game for only the third time when they host the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, a matchup of teams that come into this game from very different historical perspectives.
For the 49ers, this is a chance to rekindle the franchise's glorious legacy, to follow in the footsteps of those magnificent teams that captured five Super Bowls titles in the 1980s and '90s, led by giants of the game such as Joe Montana, Jerry Rice and Steve Young.
The Falcons? They've never won even a single Super Bowl. Heck, they've only gotten that far one time, during the 1998 season when a charismatic bunch known as the "Dirty Birds" shockingly made a run to the big game -- and was promptly blown out by the Denver Broncos in John Elway's finale.
Here are the matchups for the NFC championship game Sunday at the Georgia Dome:
When the 49ers (12-4-1) have the ball:
A year ago, the idea was to stop RB Frank Gore (21) and force the 49ers to throw. While Atlanta still will key on Gore in the running game with OLBs Sean Weatherspoon (56) and Stephen Nicholas (54), the Falcons are extremely aware of San Francisco's other running threat: QB Colin Kaepernick (7).
The second-year pro comes off a record-setting postseason debut in which he ran for 181 yards and two touchdowns. By the way, he also threw for 263 yards and two more TDs.
When the Falcons (14-3) have the ball:
White (84) and Jones (11) are as dynamic a pair of receivers as any in the NFL. Throw in the wily Gonzalez in likely the final season of a record-setting run and the Falcons can make all the plays in the passing game.
That is, if QB Matt Ryan (2) gets enough time to find them against the NFL's third-ranked defense. DE-LB Aldon Smith (99) had 19½ sacks and must get extra attention in protection.
