The 49ers’ defense kept Aaron Rodgers under wraps after an opening touchdown drive and fueled the playoff win at Lambeau Field.
It was Aaron Rodgers in all his glory, leading the Green Bay Packers on a 10-play, 69-yard drive for a touchdown the first time he touched the ball.
Middle linebacker Fred Warner was angry. Warner is the 49ers defensive leader and has turned into the kind of spiritual voice that Ronnie Lott used to be when the 49ers were winning Super Bowls under Bill Walsh and George Seifert. What followed was a defensive masterpiece that ranks with anything in the history of a storied franchise. Rodgers, a first-team All-Pro and likely Most Valuable Player, got the ball nine more times with the following results: fumble, punt, punt, punt, end of half, punt, field goal, blocked punt, punt.
