The San Francisco 49ers are headed to the NFC Championship after knocking off the top seeded Green Bay Packers. A heroic night for the San Fran special teams was capped off by a game winning Robbie Gould field goal so seal the 13-10 victory on the last play of the game.

Niners offense need some help

Kyle Shanahan and the Niners knew the offense was going to need some help from the defense and special teams, but he would have never imagined just how much help he would get from both units in Lambeau on Saturday night.

Jimmy Garoppolo spent much of the week answering questions as to if he would play or not this weekend. He had a bone chip and torn ligaments in this thumb and a sprained throwing shoulder. His numbers weren’t great, and he did throw an interception at the end of the first half but he took a back seat as the defense carried the Niners all night.

Dillon's TD was first and last offensive one

Green Bay came out firing on a frigid night at Lambeu Field. Aaron Rodgers led the Pack on a 10 play, 69 yard drive that ended in an A.J. Dillon six yard touchdown run to give the home side their first and only touchdown of the night.

The Niners started the night with four straight three and outs, and had negative yards midway through the second quarter. The only time they built a drive in the first half was on the last drive of the second quarter. Jimmy G had the Niners in the red zone with under two minutes to go in the half, but threw his only interception of the night into the hands of Adrian Amos.

Rodgers hit Adam Jones on 3rd and 3 on the following series for a gain of 75 to put the Packers in scoring position in the final moments of the half. Mason Crosby’s field goal was blocked by Jimmie Ward to keep the score at 7-0 going into the break.

San Fran field goal break scoreless spell

The third quarter started with a field goal drive after a great kick return from Deebo Samuel. Samuel ended up with 44 yards receiving and 39 on the ground to go along with the 45 yard return. Robbie Gould have the Niners their first points of the night on a 29 yard field goal to make it 7-3.

The game would stay 7-3 until early in the fourth quarter when the Packers compiled on one of their best drives of the night, but were stopped inside the 10 yard line.

The defense kept hope for the Niners by only allowing a field goal on that possession and keeping San Francisco to within a touchdown.

Special teams saves the day

San Francisco marched down to inside the 20 midway through the fourth quarter, but they were stopped on 4th and 1 for their second red zone turnover of the day. But the special teams would save day when Talanoa Hufanga picked up a blocked punt and ran it six yards into the endzone to tie the game.

Rodgers and the Packers were held to three and out on the next possession, and that would be the last time Green Bay had the ball.

It took Jimmy G and the Niners nine plays and 44 yards to put Gould with in his field goal range. Gould drained the 45 yard field goal as time expired to keep his playoff streak to 20/20.

Garoppolo passed for just 131 yards on 11/19 passing while Aaron Rodgers was 20-29 for 225 yards. Rodgers is now 0-4 against the 49ers in the playoffs, while San Fran go to the NFC Championship for the second time in three years.

The Niners will have to wait until tomorrow to know their opponent. It will either be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or the Los Angeles Rams meeting San Francisco in the NFC Championship.

Will the Green Bay Packers special teams coach be fired?

“Special teams obviously hurt us, taking points off the board and giving them points," said Rodgers after the defeat. "In crucial, critical situations, we had obviously some issues.”

Others off the pitch were less than measured in their outcry as calls for the head of special teams coach, Maurice Drayton, grow.

Garoppolo hits Kittle on the slant for the first down on the opening play of the drive.

Here come the Niners, down by 7, with 11:23 to go, and to what this point has been a very inefficient offense.

The Rodgers pass to Lazard is like a hand off for Aaron Rodgers. What a luxury to have that option if you're Matt LaFluer.

The Niners have done a great job keeping the offense in the game, and they will need to do it again on this drive. Holding GB to a FG would be a win for SF.

We are on to the fourth quarter in Lambeau!

The Pack are going back to the running game and it's got them into SF territory.

Garoppolo was fortunate not to be picked off and then got wrapped up in the backfield on third down to give the ball right back to the Packers.

Scary sight for SF fans as Deebo stays on the ground after getting tackled short of the marker on third and long. We will keep you posted on any news on the Samuel injury.

as.com

A personal foul on Mitchell for offensive facemask back the Packers up to 2nd and 14 instead of 1st and Goal.

That's the second flag the Niners have had that has crushed their chances to punch the ball into the endzone.

as.com

The Niners are in the red zone after an 18 yard Deebo reception. Deebo is a gamer. Everytime the SF has needed a big play this season Samuel is there.

It has started to snow in Green Bay, how could that affect the game thorughout the next two quarters?

We are underway fin the second half, and the Niners get a big boost from Deebo on the 45 yard return to midfield.

A Bosa sack and near fumble recovery by the Niners forces a field goal and Crosby has his kick blocked to bring us to the end of the first half with Green Bay up 7-0.

The Niners have to be feeling quite lucky that they are down by just a touchdown after a half where they had just one productive possession.

as.com

INTERCEPTION!!!

The one thing Jimmy G couldn't do in the final minute, he evades the rush, extends the play but is picked off by Amos at the GB 4 yard line.

as.com

Devastating holding call on Williams on 1st and Goal. That will back the Niners up to the 18 yard line.

as.com

Niners going run again out of the two minute warning. This time to Deebo who takes it up the gut for a first down, that's their 4th first down of the drive and 4th of the night.

as.com

What a drive for the Niners, who take it all the way down to the two minute warning. San Fran certaily wanted points on this drive, but you have to think their priority coming into this drive was not giving GB the ball back with a chance to score before the half.
They have done that and more with this long, effective drive, now can they finish it off?

as.com

That one pass got the run game started. SF is in Packers territory after the big gain and a couple of nice chunks on the ground by Mitchell

as.com

The Packers show that they were going for it on 4th and short from around midfield, but they were always looking to draw the Niners offsides.

Good move there by coach LeFleur, who will pin a San Fran team that hasn't been able to move the ball all night.

as.com

There's a much needed first down for the Packers, and of course who does Rodgers look for when he needs to move the chains? Adams, of course.

as.com

All this talk about the Niners defense, but the Packers D came to play. They have SF's offense with minus 10 yards of total offense.

as.com

Rodgers is sacked by Ebukam on third down, and the Niners D does it again!!! The Pack really haven't built up a drive since that first possession.

Is this the Niners time to turn on the offense?

as.com

Jimmy G needs to get going. The Packers are going to stuff the box until the Niners can prove they can move the ball through this cold Wisconsin air.

Those two drops by Kittle and Jennings aren't helping things too much. SF punt for the third straight possession.

as.com

Green Bay are held to a three and out for the first time tonight. They have had a great response after giving up the touchdown drive to open the game.

as.com

The Niners have -6 yards through two drives.

as.com

The Niners offense is sturggling to start this game. The defense needs to keep them in this game until Jimmy G and the gang get grooving

FUMBLE!!!

Can you believe it? The Packers get the ball back two plays after the Lewis fumble after Ayiuk coughs up possession and it's recovered by Barnes who returned it 21 yards to the SF 40.

as.com

FUMBLE!!!

We talked about the Niners needing some big special teams plays, but even more than that they will need some game changing defensive plays like they got with that Lewis fumble that was recovered by Greenlaw.

San Fran take over from their own 42 yard line.

as.com

Dillon with the opener

as.com

First play of Green Bay's second drive and who do they go to? Adams of course. He's already got 4 catches.

as.com

Smith with the sack on Jimmy G, and what a welcome back for Smith, who hasn't played since week one.

The Packers couldn't have asked for a better start. TD on the opening drive, and a quick stop of a Niners team who wants to wear out the Green Bay D.

as.com

Great return by Hasty, and if the Niners are going to win they will need some big plays with their special teams. That's a good start for San Fran, who start their drive from the 40.

as.com

TOUCHDOWN PACKERS!!!

Dillon punches it in to the endzone to cap off a perfect drive led by Rodgers. The 6 yard TD run puts the Pack up 7-0 after the first drive.

as.com

Adams already has 3 catches for 35 yards. The Niners need to lock in on him and let anyone else beat them. He had 12 catches in the first matchup betwee these teams.

as.com

Rodgers is off to a great start. He hasn't made too many long throws but he's putting his receivers in a great spot to pick up yards after the catch.

as.com

Rodgers ready

Broken toe forgotten...

as.com

Rodgers to Adams for the first first down of the game, and if there is anyone who knows how to throw in this kind of cold, it's Aaron Rodgers.

as.com

We are underway from Green Bay!!! The Packers get the ball first and Aaron Rodgers will lead the Packers on the opening drive of the night.

as.com

Uh oh... trouble for SF..

Teams from California are just 2-12 at Lambeau in Dec/Jan, and they are averaging 13 points a game.

Niners keep winning

The Niners started the year 2-4, and were a team looking for direction with a rookie quarterback that many people expected to get time in his first year out of college. Jimmy Garoppolo has handled the pressure better and better as the weeks go by. San Fran was one of the hottest teams at the end of the season, but still had to beat the Rams on the last week of the regular season to get into the playoffs.

Rodgers almost perfect this season

The Packers have been the best team in the league for every week other than the opening week of the season. They got blown out by the New Orleans Saints to welcome the season, but lost just three games after that. In those three loses Aaron Rodgers played in all four quarters in just once. That loss came against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 11. Rodgers is on pace potentially win the NFL MVP for the second straight year.
