TEAMS: San Francisco 49ers,  New York Giants,  New Orleans Saints

Or will it be a family affair featuring brothers as head coaches playing eachother for the first time in NFL postseason history? For Jim Harbaugh and his 49ers, they can't afford to look ahead past this week's opponent, the New York Giants.
