Alex Smith completed a 14-yard touchdown pass to Vernon Davis with 9 seconds left, just after Drew Brees had put the Saints ahead as the San Francisco 49ers capitalized on five New Orleans turnovers for a thrilling 36-32 playoff victory.

Davis finished with seven catches for 180 yards. It was the most yards receiving by a tight end in a playoff game. Plus, he averaged 25.7 yards per catch.

Brees, whose team was coming off consecutive 600-yard games, completed 40 of 63 passes for 462 yards and four touchdowns and was sacked three times. He also threw two interceptions, his first in the postseason in five years, and New Orleans (14-4) fell short again in its quest to get back to the Super Bowl after winning it all two years ago. The Saints are still searching for the first postseason road victory in franchise history after falling to 0-5.

San Francisco, triumphed in their first playoff game in nine years, will move on to face either the New York Giants or the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers, who play Sunday. A win by the Giants would give the 49ers the home field.
