The San Francisco 49ers advanced to the NFC Championship Game on the back of one of the greatest offensive in team playoff history. They didn't match their Super Bowl point totals against the Broncos or Chargers, but they did set a single game franchise postseason record for total yards, amassing 579 total yards of offense. The previous record was 537 yards against the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl XIX.

The game saw a variety of records fall, most notably several rushing records. Colin Kaepernick scrambled for 181 yards, which set the franchise rushing record by any player, passing Roger Craig's 135 back on January 1, 1989 vs. the Minnesota Vikings. His rushing yardage also set the record for most rushing yards in any game (regular or postseason) by an NFL quarterback.

Michael Crabtree and Frank Gore each got in on the act, as the 49ers became the first team in NFL playoff history to have two 100-yard rushers and one 100-yard receiver. Gore finished the game with 119 rushing yards and a touchdown, while Michael Crabtree hauled in 119 yards and a touchdown. It marked both player's first 100-yard game in the playoffs.

The 49ers claimed their 27th postseason victory, good for fourth most in history. The game marked the 49ers 29th home playoff game, which is tied second all-time with New York/New Jersey and Pittsburgh. Miami/South Florida holds the record of 32, and that is padded by neutral site Super Bowl games. If the Seahawks defeat the Falcons, the 49ers will move into sole possession of third place.

Here is a rundown of a variety of notable stats from the game.
