You have to control the game script to beat Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. That usually means getting out to a fast start. Unfortunately for the 49ers, Green Bay had the ball first and marched 69 yards on 10 plays for a touchdown.
The Niners had Green Bay in a couple of long-yardage situations but forgot to cover Davante Adams, who had three first-down receptions on the drive. Two of them came against Dontae Johnson, who also missed a critical tackle that went for a first down.
JaMycal Hasty’s 32-yard kick return gave the offense the ball at the 40.
