Hey, @TripTP: How does the noise today compare with a typical game in the Superdome? (49ers were there Nov. 25)

by Matt Barrows via twitter 1/20/2013 7:57:49 PM
Less-than-electric atmosphere? Not today. The Georgia Dome is rocking … #49ers

Zac Brown Band getting ready for the National Anthem. Dome broke out in a thunderous "Let's Go Falcons" chant. #riseup #SFvsATL

by San Francisco 49ers via twitter 1/20/2013 8:08:00 PM
Very little room for Turner on that first down run. Stopped after a 1-yd gain. #RiseUp #SFvsATL

by Atlanta_Falcons via twitter 1/20/2013 8:11:44 PM
Broken coverage and it's 6-0 Atlanta; 49ers like to dig themselves 6-0 holes in the playoffs ... Goldson does not follow Jones downfield.

by Matt Barrows via twitter 1/20/2013 8:11:47 PM
Ryan completes 46-yard deep TD to Julio Jones. Falcons grab 7-0 lead with 11:24 left in 1st Qtr. #SFvsATL
