49ers Defeat Packers in NFC Championship, Advance to Seventh Super Bowl

The 49ers entered the postseason as the No. 1 seed in the NFC, and they lived up to the billing in Sunday's 37-20 romp over the Packers in the NFC Championship.

Green Bay tallied a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns against San Francisco, but it was too little, too late for Aaron Rodgers and Co. The 49ers bullied the Packers for nearly 300 rushing yards on Sunday. Jimmy Garoppolo completed just six passes. Kansas City reached the Super Bowl behind a superhuman quarterback. The 49ers took more of an old-school approach.

Aaron Rodgers cleared 300 passing yards on Sunday, and he connected with star wideout Davante Adams on a 65-yard bomb in the fourth quarter.
