The San Francisco 49ers are off to Lambeau Field to face the No. 1-seeded Green Bay Packers in the NFL divisional playoff round.
The 49ers, who made it into the playoffs by virtue of an overtime win at the Los Angeles Rams a week ago, survived Sunday despite nearly blowing a 16-point, fourth-quarter lead.
Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who also had a bad overthrow of an open Brandon Aiyuk in the third quarter, finished 16-of-25 for 172 yards.
Deebo Samuel, the 49ers’ offensive catalyst, ran for 72 yards (10 carries) and added 38 yards receiving (three catches).
The 49ers have won their past three playoff matchups with the Packers, including a January 2014 wild-card win in Green Bay (23-20) and the 2019 season’s NFC Championship Game route (37-20) at Levi’s Stadium. The all-time postseason series is tied, 4-4.
