NFC Championship: Packers, 49ers Injury Report
The Green Bay Packers are in the Bay Area to face the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game. Here's who is out for both teams.
SAN FRANCISCO, CA — The Green Bay Packers are in the Bay Area to face classic schoolyard bully the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game. The winner goes to Super Bowl LIV. The last time these two teams played, the 49ers handed the Packers a 37-8 drubbing on Nov. 24 in San Francisco.
In that game, San Francisco quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo threw two long touchdown passes and the defense harried Rodgers in to one of his most forgettable games. Rodgers was sacked a total of five times. He managed to complete 20 of his 33 passes with a touchdown, but yielded just 104 yards through the air. The Packers netted 117 yards on the ground on 28 carries.
The story was the San Francisco defense, however. Including sacks, the 49ers totaled a whopping 12 tackles for negative yardage against the Packers in that game.
The Packers defense is going to have to contend with all-pro tight end George Kittle, who caught six passes for 129 yards, including a 61-yard touchdown.
