The San Francisco 49ers return to the NFC Divisional Round for the second time in three seasons. They will travel to Green Bay and take on the Packers. This marks the ninth playoff matchup between the two teams, with the all-time postseason series tied at four wins each. San Francisco has won each of the past three playoff meetings against Green Bay.
The 49ers are coming off a 23-17 victory over the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium. They were led by their rushing attack, as the team carried the ball 38 times for 169 yards and two touchdowns. RB Elijah Mitchell finished with 27 rushes for 96 yards and one touchdown and WR Deebo Samuel added 10 carries for 72 yards and one touchdown. Mitchell became the fourth 49ers rookie to register a rushing touchdown in the postseason. San Francisco's offensive line did not allow a sack on 25 passing attempts by QB Jimmy Garoppolo.
On defense, San Francisco sacked Cowboys QB Dak Prescott five times. DL Charles Omenihu had a team-high 1.5 sacks, DL Arik Armstead and DL D.J. Jones had 1.0 each, while DL Nick Bosa, DL Samson Ebukam, and DL Kevin Givens each added 0.5 sack. CB K'Waun Williams finished the game with two tackles and one interception of Prescott. Williams' INT led to Samuel's 26-yard touchdown run.
San Francisco's special teams was led by K Robbie Gould, who connected on field goals of 53, 52, and 40 yards. He is a perfect 18 of 18 in his postseason career, including a 10 of 10 mark with the 49ers. Gould's 53 and 52-yard field goals are the second and third-longest in 49ers postseason history.
