SANTA CLARA — At approximately 5:15 p.m. on Saturday, 49ers kicker Jake Moody can be expected to tee it up inside Levi's Stadium and send the ball into play to open the NFC divisional round matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

After all, regardless of which team wins the coin toss, it seems likely the Packers will end up with the football to start the game.

Coach Kyle Shanahan said he would not even consider taking the ball if the 49ers win the coin toss.
