LaFleur acknowledged his situational need of faith during their divisional playoff match against the San Francisco 49ers, according to Fox Sports analyst Matt Rinaldi. 'I'm not sure what happened to Matt LaFleur when he spoke to him about it, but I just pray,' Rinaldi said on the broadcast. LaFleur's prayers were not heard as Carlson missed the most when it mattered most. In the fourth quarter, the Packers were up 21-17, extending their lead to seven. His attempt was unfortunately unsuccessful, barely missing the target from 41 yards.

With Christian McCaffrey's second touchdown stealing the win from Green Bay and leaving San Francisco one win away from the Super Bowl, the 49ers win by a whopping late 24-21 victory over the Packers

On Saturday night, the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Green Bay Packers 24-21 in an epic divisional playoff matchup, with Christian McCaffrey scoring two touchdowns to lead his team to a dramatic victory. The Niners (13-52) needed to come from behind for a change after spending all of the regular season as front-runners, and Brock Purdy and McCaffrey did just enough on the last drive to send San Francisco to its third straight NFC championship game. For a spot in the Super Bowl, the Niners will host the winner of Tampa Bay's game against Detroit next weekend. After a 29-yard field goal from Anders Carlson that gave them a 3-0 lead that lasted through the remainder of the first quarter, the Packers became the first team to earn a spot on the scoreboard.
