Driving To The Red Zone

NBC Universal, Inc.

The 49ers are heavy favorites over the Detroit Lions entering Sunday's NFC Championship Game at Levi's Stadium, but that doesn't mean San Francisco can cruise to their second Super Bowl appearance in five seasons.

There are concerns surrounding the 49ers, especially after their shaky performance in nail-biting 24-21 win over the Green Bay Packers in the NFC divisional-round playoff game last weekend.
