To open the divisional round of the postseason, the Green Bay Packers came out swinging against the San Francisco 49ers on the opening drive of the game.
After winning the toss and electing to receive the ball, the Packers drove down the field and into the red zone. Following some strong runs from Aaron Jones and a costly penalty on Ambry Thomas, Jordan Love and the Packers were threatening. However, the 49ers’ defense stood strong when it mattered most.
On third down, All-Pro corner Charvarius Ward came up clutch. With Love targeting Romeo Doubs over the middle of the field in the end zone, the veteran defensive back flew in for a timely pass breakup. Following Ward’s stop, the Packers opted for a field goal on fourth down.
