The Niners won an all-time classic over Aaron Rodgers and the Packers with a gritty, imperfect performance that should be celebrated for ages.
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Playing inside a snow globe, surrounded by air that felt as if it had zero degrees of warmth, the 49ers’ stressful but successful season found its trademark moment.
But for all their shortcomings, they also had a whole lot of guts, plenty of guile and a bit of luck on their side. San Francisco might not have been the better team Saturday, but they were the stronger team, no doubt, and that strength was the foundation of the Niners’ 13-10 win over the Packers to advance to the NFC Championship Game for the second time in three seasons.
And they needed all of that earned callous, all that fortitude — both mental and physical — to overcome the elements, the Packers and even themselves on Saturday. By the end of the game, it was 11 degrees, the wind was whipping, and the snow engulfed the field. This was the kind of cold that you could feel in your bones just standing in place. One can only imagine how painful it was to play. Sure enough, the bodies piled up as the game progressed.
