The Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers meet on Saturday night in the NFC Divisional Round. The Packers are coming off a blowout road win against the Dallas Cowboys, while the 49ers enjoyed a bye week as the top seed in the NFC.
The Packers saw wide receiver Christian Watson return to play last week after missing the last five games of the regular season with a hamstring injury. The 49ers had the luxury of resting players in Week 18 with home-field advantage clinched and were able to allow players with minor injuries more time to heal.
