If recent history repeats itself, the Green Bay Packers’ season will be over late Saturday evening. No team has been a more consistent problem for the Packers in the playoffs than the San Francisco 49ers, both over the team’s storied history and specifically over the last 12 years.
The Packers and Niners will plan in an NFL-record 10th playoff game on Saturday, breaking a record that Green Bay just tied with the Cowboys last week. But San Francisco has won five of those matchups, giving the Packers more playoff losses than any other NFL team (the Cowboys have beaten the Packers four times).
