49ers mash Packers on the ground, win NFC Championship Game rematch 37-20

When Mike Holmgren arrived in Green Bay, the San Francisco 49ers were the standard to which any NFC team was measured. Beating San Francisco in the 1995 announced the Green Bay Packers as legitimate players in the conference. After a Super Bowl in 2010, Mike McCarthy’s team fell behind a Bay Area bully, chasing the Jim Harbaugh 49ers fruitlessly until that core eventually fell apart. In Week 12 beatdown, Matt LaFleur’s green and gold again failed to measure up to the conference’s gold standard in 2019. After yet another impressive, dominant performance over the Packers in a 34-20 win in the NFC Championship Game, the 49ers cemented themselves as the team to beat in the conference, the team the Packers are chasing.
