The wait for the Detroit Lions and their fans has been far longer, with the success-starved franchise one step away from their first Super Bowl appearance. Either the Niners will avenge title game losses from the past two seasons or the Lions will win in their first appearance on this stage in 32 years when the teams meet today in the NFC Championship Game.
