On Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers secured a thrilling comeback victory over the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship Game, earning a trip to Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas. Beyond the opportunity to contend for their sixth championship, the 49ers achieved another impressive milestone this week.
San Francisco has now notched 38 playoff victories throughout its storied history, making them the franchise with the most playoff wins in NFL history.
Previously tied with the Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots at 37 playoff wins, the 49ers' victory over the Lions sets them apart from the competition.

Although the 49ers have reached two Super Bowls since the 2012 season, their last championship win dates back to the 1994 season. They hope to change that on February 11 when they face the Kansas City Chiefs at Allegiant Stadium.
The playoff win total underscores the enduring success of this iconic franchise. The 49ers have advanced to at least the NFC Championship Game in three consecutive seasons and four of the past five.
