Packers collapse on offense, special teams and lose to 49ers in divisional round

The Green Bay Packers fell apart on offense and endured another special teams meltdown, and the two forces combined to end the 2021 season for Matt LaFleur’s team well short of the Super Bowl.

The San Francisco 49ers blocked a field goal and returned a blocked punt for a touchdown, and Robbie Gould’s field goal as time expired allowed Kyle Shanahan’s team to upset the Packers and advance to the NFC title game with a 13-10 win at a cold and snow-covered Lambeau Field on Saturday night.

The Packers scored a touchdown on the opening drive but managed just 263 yards. Aaron Rodgers was sacked five times and completed passes to just four different receivers.
