SAN JOSE – Robbie Gould’s game-winning 45-yard field goal sailed through the uprights at Lambeau Field just moments before Sharks defenseman Jaycob Megna’s shot from the point found its way past Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Brian Elliott. When the final score of the 49ers’ playoff game with the Green Bay Packers was shown on the SAP Center’s JumboTron, a 13-10 San Francisco win thanks to Gould’s heroics, the cheers from the announced crowd of 14,193 were almost as loud as those for Megna’s goal, or anything else the Sharks did Saturday night.

For 33 years that game ball has been in and out of…
