Packers vs. 49ers: History behind the rivalry ahead of NFC Championship

The San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers are poised to write the next chapter in a long, storied rivalry that has included many a playoff moment.

This, of course, with the Niners hosting the Packers in the 2020 NFC Championship game on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium. This clash of rivals will feature two 13-3 squads, and the top two seeds in the conference, battling it out for the right to represent the NFC in Super Bowl LIV.

While San Francisco’s own NFC West rivals, the Seattle Seahawks, may have dominated rivalry talk this decade, one could make the argument that Green Bay is actually a more significant foe.
