On this day in 2014, the 49ers beat the Packers in Green Bay in their own wild card game

Saturday’s final wild card game is going on right now and two more games are left to go on Sunday. It’s hard to be a fan of a team not in the playoffs, but I do have something to provoke some better feelings. Today marks the five-year anniversary of when the 49ers beat the Green Bay Packers in Lambeau Field to advance to the divisional round.

Why is this so important? Well for many 49ers fans, the Packers were the source of childhood nightmares. Several times in the 90s the 49ers would face the packers in the playoffs and get sent home.
