The last time Green Bay and San Francisco met, the Packers orchestrated a win from behind thanks in part to Jimmy Garoppolo and Aaron Rodgers. Garoppolo and the Niners marched down the field and scored a touchdown with 37 seconds remaining to put them up 28-27.
While 37 seconds may not seem like a lot of time, it was more than enough time for Rodgers to get the Packers into field goal range and for Mason Crosby to hit a game-winning 51-yarder as time expired.
That was in Week 3 of the regular season; A lot has changed since then for both teams. The Packers went 11-3 afterward when Rodgers threw for 31 touchdowns with just two interceptions in that span. San Francisco went further up and down. The Niners went 8-6 and Garoppolo had 16 touchdowns against 11 interceptions.
As the season progressed, the identities of both teams also began to form. Green Bay became one of the best offenses in the league and San Francisco built one of the best defenses. The Packers ranked 10th in total offense and scoring offense, while the 49ers ranked 9th in scoring defense and 3rd in total defense.
However, this game could very much depend on who is healthy and how healthy they are. Garoppolo is dealing with thumb and shoulder injuries and star defensive end Nick Bosa is still recovering from the effects of a concussion. For Green Bay, All-Pro offensive tackle David Bakhtiari and All-Pro defensive back Jaire Alexander are listed as questionable with knee and shoulder injuries, respectively.
