What happens when Green Bay, San Francisco meet in the playoffs

The San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers square off in the first 1 seed-vs.-7 seed matchup in NFL history. The two teams will set a record for their 10th playoff meeting, with the Packers looking to even a series that’s spanned 27 years. In a rivalry that’s racked up plenty of historic moments, here’s a look back at the nine previous iterations of Packers-Niners.

The defending champion 49ers fell behind early, digging themselves into a 21-0 hole by the second quarter. Steve Young attempted 65 passes, a playoff record that still stands today.

The Packers kicked off the campaign for their first Super Bowl win in 30 years with a blowout in the “Mud Bowl” against San Francisco. Edgar Bennett rushed for 80 yards and a pair of touchdowns, while Desmond Howard broke off a 71-yard punt return touchdown.

Green Bay fell short of back-to-back Super Bowl titles, but the Packers picked up their third straight playoff victory over the 49ers despite a 95-yard kick return touchdown by Chuck Levy.

Steve Young connected with Terrell Owens with eight seconds left for a 25-yard touchdown pass, in what would eventually become known as The Catch II.

Owens finished with three grabs for 73 yards and that score.

Hall of Famer Jerry Rice had only one catch for six yards in the contest.

Trailing 18-15, Niners QB Jeff Garcia was intercepted on a deep throw to Owens. Green Bay responded, capping off the scoring with Ahman Green’s nine-yard TD. Both teams were Wild Cards despite each winning 12 regular season games.

After throwing a pick-six early, Colin Kaepernick took over the game with 444 total yards and four touchdowns. His 181 rushing yards are a postseason record for quarterbacks.

Kaepernick pulled off a second straight playoff win against the Packers, leading the team in rushing and out-dueling Rodgers through the air.

Raheem Mostert took over the game with a 220-yard, four-touchdown performance to send Jimmy Garoppolo and the 49ers to the Super Bowl.

In a snowy, sloppy defensive battle, the game swung on a blocked punt touchdown by Talanoa Hufanga with less than five minutes to go.

Christian McCaffrey scored a 6-yard rushing TD with 1:07 left to give San Fran the lead — and the win.
