After convincingly defeating the second-seeded Dallas Cowboys in the first round of the NFL playoffs, the Green Bay Packers face another tough matchup this weekend.
Jordan Love and his teammates head to Levi’s Stadium in the Bay Area for the game against the San Francisco 49ers. While the Packers face another difficult task, this time against the best team in the NFC, they are also dealing with multiple injuries to key players.
Four players are currently listed as questionable for Saturday’s NFC clash in the Bay Area, per Rob Demowski of ESPN. Of those, Jaire Alexander and AJ Dillon stand out the most on Green Bay’s injury report. While the 49ers are currently likely to win this playoff matchup against the Packers, the consensus is that San Francisco is clearly the more complete team and will enjoy home field advantage.
Despite this, the Packers showed remarkable resilience throughout the season, emerging as one of the hottest teams in the NFL at the end of the regular season and pulling off a huge upset win over the Cowboys in the postseason at AT&T Stadium.
While the 49ers are expected to win out and advance to the NFC Championship Game, the Packers could inject an element of intrigue if they can successfully overcome these injuries and keep them from becoming insurmountable obstacles.
