49ers vs Packers Preview
After a first-round bye, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers look to do something he has never done: beat the 49ers in the playoffs. Rodgers is 0-3 against the Niners in the postseason, but he did defeat them Week 3 of the regular season, 30-28.
“I think both teams are a lot better,” 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said heading into the divisional matchup, per 49ers Webzone. “It was early in the year for both of us, I think we hadn’t lost a game yet. I think they were .500 at the time. I don’t think either of us were executing as good as we are now, on both sides. We’ve both been through a lot versus then. And I think on both sides of the ball and in special teams both teams are better in all of the phases.”
That Week 3 contest was played in San Francisco in September — which is a far cry from Lambeau Field in January.
“Prepare to dress warm and prepare to get your mind right and if you do then it’s usually not a factor,” Shanahan added about how his team was going to handle the weather. “I think we’ll be alright. I don’t do well in cold, but I’ll be alright in a football game and I think everyone else will be the same.”
The Packers will be getting one of Rodgers’ favorite weapons back, as receiver Randall Cobb was taken off the injured reserve list on Jan. 20. “He’s coming along great. He looks good at practice so I would anticipate him playing in this game,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said about Cobb.
On the injury front for the Packers, left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) is questionable and wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (back) is doubtful. Cornerback Jaire Alexander is questionable, but he practiced all week, and he is expected to return.
For the 49ers, defensive end Nick Bosa (concussion) and linebacker Fred Warner (ankle) are both questionable, although Warner has publicly said he’s planning to play. Niners quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has been battling through thumb and shoulder injuries, but he’ll play.
Garoppolo had 14 turnovers during the regular season, and the Packers’ defense had the third-best turnover differential (+13) in the league. With two of Green Bay’s top pass rushers in Za’Darius Smith and Whitney Mercilus returning to the lineup in this game, putting pressure on a beat-up Garoppolo will be key.
