Undrafted running back Raheem Mostert was the highlight of the night, putting up a career-high 220 yards on 19 carries to go along with four (yes, four) touchdowns. Mostert became the only player in NFL history with 150-plus rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns in a single half of a playoff game. Mostert is the first player with three-plus rushing touchdowns in a playoff game since LeGarrette Blount did so for the New England Patriots in the 2013 Divisional Round against the Indianapolis Colts. Mostert is also the first player in NFL history to score four rushing touchdowns in a Conference Championship game. “according to https://www.49ers.com/news/the-san-francisco-49ers-are-headed-to-super-bowl-liv
