Even Santa Claus was stunned by what happened.
Thanks to a stunning sequence of events, the defending NFC champion 49ers clinched a playoff spot and sent their fans home happy in (perhaps) the final game ever at Candlestick Park.
The Falcons didn't make it easy. Tony Gonzalez scored what looked to be the final TD in the stadium's history with just over two minutes remaining.
Atlanta was now down by only three and team owner Arthur Blank was PUMPED.
The Falcons then recovered one of the most fortuitous, bounciest onside kicks in NFL history. The ball just went under Navarro Bowman's right arm — and into Jason Snelling's for the recovery.
