49ers vs Packers live stream: How to watch NFL Playoffs Divisional game online
The 49ers vs Packers live stream has Rodgers looking for a postseason first!
The 49ers vs Packers live stream is starting soon, and it has Aaron Rodgers looking for his sixth trip to a conference championship game.
Rodgers lost to his Saturday night counterpart, Jimmy Garoppolo, in the 2019 postseason as San Francisco was en route to a Super Bowl appearance. But this is a different and more dominant Packers team in this NFL live stream.
The 49ers vs Packers live stream is tonight Saturday (Jan. 22).

The 49ers (10-7) are proud owners of the wild card rounds’ only upset victory as they held on to beat the Cowboys, 23-17. The very versatile Deebo Samuel came up with a 26-yard touchdown run that gave San Francisco a 23-7 lead with 3:03 to go in the third quarter. The Niners then survived a late surge from Dallas to clinch the win. Samuel finished with 110 yards from scrimmage.
Despite the late push from the Cowboys, the 49ers’ defense came to play. Charles Omenihu, who had zero sacks through the regular season came up with a sack and half against Dallas. In total, the Niner D brought Dak down five times in the win. San Francisco is waiting to hear word on Nick Bosa who left the wildcard game after suffering a concussion. Bosa was fourth in the NFL with 15.5 sacks.
The Packers (13-4) are the NFC’s top seed and had the luxury of resting during last week’s opening round. Now they will start their quest in making a third-straight NFC Championship appearance. Green Bay has already been to five conference championship games in Aaron Rodgers’ 14 years as their starting quarterback. They’re just 1-4 in those games.
These teams did play in week three of the regular season with the Packers winning 30-28. Green Bay took a 17-0 lead into halftime before the Niners fought back in the second half and even took a 28-27 lead with :37 left on the clock. Then Rodgers hit Davante Adams twice for a total of 42 yards and that was all Mason Crosby would need to drill the game-winning 51-yard field goal.
The Packers are currently 5.5-point favorites against the 49ers. The over/under is 47. Temperatures in Green Bay Saturday night are expected to be below 10 degrees with wind gusts up to 18 m.p.h.
