Brandon Aiyuk says that ladybug made the miraculous catch that led to the 49ers’ comeback win over the Lions in the NFC championship.

They won, 34–31, thanks in large part to Kindle Vildor’s facemask, which helped them come back from being down 17 points at halftime and earn a spot in the Super Bowl.

In the third quarter, the 49ers were down 24–10 to the Detroit Lions, and Brock Purdy looked deep for Brandon Aiyuk on first-and–ten from the 45-yard line.

The replay proved that Aiyuk did catch the ball after it hit Vildor’s helmet and bounced back.

He missed his mark with a cross that Vildor could have caught. Vildor’s hands and facemask didn’t catch the ball; instead, Aiyuk dove and caught it at the 4-yard line.

Before Aiyuk met the ground, Vildor touched him. It wasn’t a passing touchdown, but the pass went 51 yards. After three plays, Purdy found Aiyuk within the end zone to make it 24–17 in favor of Detroit.

The 49ers didn’t play well in the first half, when Detroit led 24–7, and this score was huge for both him and his team, who are negotiating a new contract without him this season.

It was also a type of play that changed the course of a game where going towards the Super Bowl was on the line.

On Detroit’s next possession, San Francisco forced a fumble, which was then used to set up a touchdown run by Christian McCaffrey.

A 17-point lead for the Lions was gone in an instant. After that, they scored a field goal and an Eli Mitchell touchdown, as well as the 49ers never fell behind again.

“Before the match, a ladybug dropped on my shoe,” Aiyuk told Erin Andrews on Fox. “You all know what this means.” Good luck. Today, God was with us. Good win. Niner gang, bang! “That’s crazy.”

Aiyuk did a great job of staying focused to make an all-time catch, ladybug or not. Without it, the 49ers certainly wouldn’t be in the Super Bowl. It is already set: they will play the Chiefs of Kansas City in the Super Bowl for the second time in five years.

If you miss the game, Aiyuk made a great catch within the third quarter that put the 49ers back into the game. Brock Purdy, the quarterback, threw a bomb into the field when his team was down 24–10.

At first, the football hit Lions CB Kindle Vildor in the head. Aiyuk did dive for the ball, though, and caught it when he came down.

Aiyuk then caught a touchdown pass from 6 yards out, making the score 24–17. He didn’t have a lot of catches, but the ones he did have were important.

It took three catches for Aiyuk to get 68 yards and a touchdown. Two of these catches was the ones we already talked about.

The Detroit Lions got off to a fast start and looked like they were on their way to the Super Bowl over the very first time in the team’s history.

But in a bland second half, bad luck that had been so good during this playoff run finally turned bad. Drops and a untimely fumble stopped the offense from moving forward, which had been building up early on.

At the same time, the defense couldn’t make any stops, which let the San Francisco 49ers score 27 straight points. So, from having a 24–7 lead, they lost 34–31.

Once he got the ball on a reverse activities, the second-year wide receiver was blocked well by Frank Ragnow and Sam LaPorta.

He then cut back upfield. Dre Greenlaw tried to tackle him, but he stayed on his toes and ran 42 yards over a touchdown.

Williams didn’t catch his first pass until the fourth quarter, when Goff threw one to him that was 22 yards long. At the end of the game, he scored another touchdown by catching a 3-yard throw from the old quarterback.

This guy made a great catch in the third quarter of the game. Erin Andrews for FOX Sports asked him to talk about it during an interview.

She was shocked when Aiyuk told her that a ladybug had landed on his footwear before the game began. He said that was because luck was on his side today in this game.
