The Packers vs 49ers live stream begins at 8:20 p.m. ET/ 5:20 p.m. PT Thursday, November 5 on FOX, NFL Network and Amazon.
It’s game time! The Packers vs 49ers live stream is here to show football fans how much can change in a season. In February, the San Francisco 49ers were Super Bowl contenders. This season, they are limping along with a 4-4 record, coming off a drubbing by the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, and Nick Mullens is now standing in Jimmy Garoppolo's shoes as their new QB, which feels like a wild x-factor.
The 49ers crushed the Packers at Levi's Stadium during both the regular season in 2019 and in the NFC title game in January. Playing at home again, this time San Francisco is expected to lose narrowly to Green Bay in this NFL live stream.

What happened? It's impossible to discount the ravages of injury on the 49ers, especially to the offensive line. They are currently down over half a dozen players, including wide receiver Deebo Samuel (hamstring injury) and running backs Jeffrey Wilson (high ankle sprain) and Raheem Mostert (ankle). Viewers of the game against the Seahawks also saw early departures by tight end George Kittle (foot), running back Tevin Coleman (knee) and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who's been struggling with an ankle injury since week 2.
Not that Garoppolo was playing so well before he left the field. With a QBR of 62.5, he's ranked just 20th in the league. He's scored 7 touchdowns (27th) and thrown five interceptions (tied for 12th). In fairness, Garoppolo is running out of targets, given the high injury toll. And Garoppolo's loss due to a high ankle injury will set the team back even farther.
The 5-2 Packers are in a much stronger position overall. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is having a stellar season, with 20 touchdowns and just two turnovers. He's ranked second in the NFL with a QBR of 83.5. Rodgers still has reliable targets on the field, especially wide receiver Davante Adams, who with seven touchdown catches is tied for first in the NFL. Adams has a worthy rushing counterpart in running back Aaron Jones, who with 5 touchdowns of his own is tied for 6th among NFL ball runners.
