SANTA CLARA -- The 49ers know it is not going to be as easy as it was in Week 12, when they got off to a hot start and never let the Green Bay Packers into the game.
This time, the teams meet in the NFC Championship Game at Levi’s Stadium.
And the 49ers’ 37-8 victory of Nov. 24 is a distant memory.
The 49ers and Packers have 14 wins apiece. In order for the 49ers to pick up another to advance to Super Bowl 54 in Miami, they need to get solid performances from a mix of proven veterans, youngsters and players on the rise.
