Another No. 1 seed has fallen on Day 1 of the Divisional Round.
Thanks to a clutch Robbie Gould field goal, the San Francisco 49ers are heading back to the NFC Championship Game after stunning Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers inside Lambeau Field on Saturday night.
A standout performance by the 49ers defense kept Rodgers, Davante Adams, Aaron Jones and the Packers offense in check for much of the contest as Green Bay scored fewer than 17 points for the first time since Week 9.
The 49ers trailed for much of Saturday’s game until Niners safety Talanoa Hufanga recovered a huge blocked punt in the fourth quarter and hurried into the end zone to tie it at 10 a piece. A big defensive stop on the ensuing Packers possession helped set up Gould to bring it home for San Fran.
Around the NFL will have more shortly.
