49ers’ defense offers red zone, 3rd down opportunities for Packers

The Green Bay Packers will try to exorcise some recent demons on Sunday afternoon when they host the San Francisco 49ers. The two teams have met repeatedly in both the regular season and playoffs over the last several years, and though Matt LaFleur’s team is 2-1 in regular season meetings against Kyle Shanahan (all of which came at Levi’s Stadium), his old boss has won all three playoff meetings between the two teams.

This year, however, the Packers get to host a regular-season meeting, and there are some reasons to think that a few issues that LaFleur’s offense has struggled with this season could get straightened out a bit.
