SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Christian McCaffrey scored his second touchdown on a 6-yard run with 1:07 to play, and the San Francisco 49ers mounted their first second-half comeback of the season to beat the Green Bay Packers 24-21 in a divisional-round playoff game. After spending all regular season as front-runners, the Niners needed to come from behind for a change and Brock Purdy and McCaffrey did just enough on the last drive to send San Francisco to its third straight NFC championship game. Dre Greenlaw sealed the win with his second interception of Jordan Love.
BALTIMORE (AP) — Lamar Jackson threw two touchdown passes and ran for two scores and the Baltimore Ravens pulled away in the second half for a 34-10 win over the Houston Texans to advance to the AFC championship game. Jackson helped the Ravens take control in the third quarter after the teams entered the half tied at 10. His 15-yard scoring run put Baltimore ahead to stay. C.J. Stroud had a solid, composed first half for Houston, but the Texans ultimately couldn’t turn enough promising drives into points. Now Baltimore will host the AFC title game for the first time since January 1971. The Ravens will take on the winner of Sunday’s matchup between Buffalo and Kansas City.

The 14-4 Cyclones never trailed even though they were without injured leading scorer Tamin Lipsey. Jones made his first start in Lipsey's spot. But they blew almost all of a 12-point lead in the final 4 1/2 minutes.

It was Shiffrin’s fifth slalom win of the season and her 58th in total. She can secure the slalom season title at the next race on Feb. 11. Olympic slalom champion Petra Vlhova crashed and tore ligaments in her right knee in Saturday’s giant slalom.
