The San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers are two of the most historic and longest-tenured NFL franchises, having won nine Lombardi trophies between them. They have matched up nine times in the postseason, with a record-setting tenth scheduled for Saturday at Levi’s Stadium. The first four matches occurred consecutively between the 1996-1999 seasons, with the first three coming in the divisional round. San Francisco’s first postseason win over Green Bay was in the wild-card round in 2002. By 2014, the two teams had been postseason opponents six times. In 2020, they met in the NFC Championship Game, but lost three straight postseasons. In the 2022 divisional round, San Francisco beat Green Bay 13-10. The Niners have one more win than Green Bay heading into Saturday’s matchup.
