Packers Only Had 10 Men on Field to Try to Block 49ers’ Game-Winning FG

There are good days at the office, and there are bad days. Then there’s the day that the Packers special teams had on Saturday night against the 49ers.

With snow falling and temperatures dropping, the San Francisco offense never touched the end zone during the divisional round matchup, but somehow emerged with a 13–10 win on a walk-off field goal by Robbie Gould on the final play of the game. The 49ers were able to be in that position thanks to several special teams breakdowns throughout the game, highlighted by a blocked Mason Crosby field goal attempt at the end of the second quarter and a blocked punt returned for a game-tying touchdown with under five minutes left in the game.
