The Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers have interesting NFC playoff records.This is the third meeting between the two teams in 2020, and the 49ers will win each. Previous games were led by Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers and San Francisco’s Jimmy Garoppolo.
However, since he doesn’t currently play for the Packers or 49ers, the playoff matchup will look a little different when Jordan Love takes on Santa Clara’s Brock Purdy in the divisional round. But the directors know each other well. Matt LaFleur and Kyle Shanahan were head coaches in the previous round and both worked together in Washington before moving on to their new jobs. So while the quarterbacks are very different, the leaders of both teams are still the same.

Love made his playoff debut last week and led the Packers to a near perfect victory over the Dallas Cowboys. He did it with a field of relatively inexperienced pass catchers composed almost entirely of first- and second-year players.
Meanwhile, Purdy will continue to work with outstanding skill position players, including running backs Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle and wide receivers Deebo Samuel and Brandon Ayuk. San Francisco earned the No. 1 seed. 1 via a first-round bye. The 49ers finished the year with the third-best offense at 28.9 and also produced the second-most yards.
San Francisco has allowed the third fewest yards this season: 17.5 yards. The 49ers will have to deal with Love’s offense, which is averaging just 22.5 points per game this year but is averaging 31 points over the last four games of the year.
