GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers looked unstoppable in last year’s playoff game against the 49ers.
They raced down the field for an opening touchdown and were on their way to more points when disaster struck at the hands of one of their most reliable and respected players.
On a first down from the Niners’ 42 with about 4 minutes left in the first quarter, Aaron Rodgers completed a short pass to Marcedes Lewis. Lewis was hit by linebacker Fred Warner, who jarred the ball loose for a game-changing turnover.
Even with a dominant defensive performance, the Packers never fully regained the momentum.
