49ers, who beat the Cowboys, will host the Packers in the divisional playoff round.
The 49ers are aware of their opponent for the NFC Divisional Playoffs next weekend.
After clinching the NFC’s top playoff seed, San Francisco had the luxury of staying at home for Super Wild Card Weekend and didn’t have to wait long to find out who it would play in the postseason.
The 49ers and Los Angeles Rams will play their official game at Levi’s Stadium the following weekend. On Sunday, Green Bay shocked the Dallas Cowboys by defeating them 48–32 at AT&T Stadium.
Running back Aaron Jones ran 21 times for 118 yards and three touchdowns, while quarterback Jordan Love of Green Bay burned the Dallas defense by completing 16 of 21 passes for 272 yards and three touchdowns.
Because Green Bay was the lowest seed left in the playoffs, they would have faced the top-seeded 49ers regardless of the results of the Detroit Lions vs. Los Angeles Rams game on Sunday night at Ford Field and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Philadelphia Eagles game on Monday at Raymond James Stadium. The Packers entered the playoffs as the NFC’s No. 7 seed.
After resting most of its starters in Week 18 and receiving a first-round bye, San Francisco will be well-rested and ready to take on a young Packers squad that will be hoping to end the franchise’s four-game postseason losing record to the 49ers.
While they wait to play their first playoff opponent, Deebo Samuel and the NFC’s top-seeded 49ers will enjoy watching the NFL’s Super Wild Card Weekend from the comfort of their own homes.
Two of the three NFC matches kick off on Sunday, starting with the Green Bay Packers vs. Dallas Cowboys at 1:30 p.m. PST at AT&T Stadium followed by the Los Angeles Rams vs. Detroit Lions at 5:15 p.m. PST at Ford Field.
The 49ers wide receiver joined Kay Adams on the “Up & Adams” show on Tuesday, where he was asked to give his prediction for the first matchup between the Packers and Cowboys.
