“I am so excited that it is going to be a prosperous day,” said Erica Medina, who is the founder of the Capitol City 49ers fan club.

The faithful’s dedication was tested as the 49ers fell behind early against the Detroit Lions, sending shockwaves across the bar.

With each turnover created by the 49ers defense turned into touchdowns. Fans’ faith was slowly restored.

“A lot of people were saying game over,” said Forrest Coleman, a 49ers fan. “People were leaving and whatnot. It is about that Niner faithful.”

“I said if we stopped the run we will come back and win this game,” said Johnnie Gonzalez, a 49ers fan.

A win that will be remembered, which takes the 49ers and their fans one step closer to the ultimate prize.
