Packers Run Defense a Big Key to Defeating the 49ers

The Green Bay Packers will face a tough challenge on Saturday night when they open the playoffs against the San Francisco 49ers at Lambeau Field. One reason for this is that the 49ers strengths line up with many of the Packers weaknesses.

San Francisco is the one remaining team left in the NFC that does not have an offense that revolves around their quarterback. Jimmy Garoppolo started 15 games but threw just 20 touchdown passes this season while also tossing 12 interceptions. He is truly a game manager who is called upon to not make mistakes more than he is asked to make game-changing plays.
