Remember those good old days? Packers vs. 49ers. Young and Owens burned the Packers in the late 90s after the Packers owned them in the playoffs.
----------WELCOME TO THE LIVE BLOG of 49ers vs. Packers----------
The San Francisco 49ers host the Green Bay Packers for their NFC Divisional game with kickoff at 8 p.m. ET. We have the live blog with scores and play-by-play for those who can't view the game live.
This matchup brings back memories of two teams that faced off numerous times in the playoffs in the 1990's.
Back in the days, the Packers had Brett Favre behind center, now, they have Aaron Rodgers who has been effective as the quarterback.
For the 49ers, they had a bit of drama in 2012 after Alex Smith was substituted at the quarterback position by Collin Kaepernick in the second half of the season.
The 49ers bring one of the best defenses in the team allowing the 2nd fewest points in the NFL as opponents averaged only 17 points per game.
The Packers present at best, an average defense all around. So this matchup on defense goes to the 49ers.
Rodgers has the advantage in the quarterback matchup. He's consistent and has one of the most accurate and strongest arms in the league. Kaepernick is good, but he needs more seasoning and this will be his first playoff start of the year.
The 49ers have the better running game with Frank Gore. The Packers had a tough time finding their identity on the ground all season long.
Now, let's get ready for this game. Refresh the page and scroll to the top of the article for the latest updates from this matchup.
This is their second matchup this season. The 49ers took that game 30-22.
