In this story:

Last week, the Green Bay Packers became the first No. 7 seed to win a playoff game since the NFL expanded the playoff field in 2020. With a win at San Francisco, they will become the third No. 6 or 7 seed to advance to a Conference Championship in the past ten years, joining San Francisco in 2021 and Tennessee in 2019.

The Packers, who need to slow down the San Francisco 49ers, the league's third-best scoring offense, are seeking their third Conference Championship appearance in the past five years, having also reached the NFC title game in each of head coach Matt LaFleur's first two seasons (2019 and 2020).  

In last week’s victory, running back Aaron Jones rushed for 118 yards and three touchdowns. It marked his third career playoff game with multiple touchdowns. With at least two touchdowns on Saturday night, Jones will become the sixth player in NFL history to record multiple touchdowns in four or more postseason games, joining Pro Football Hall of Famers Emmitt Smith (seven ), Thurman Thomas (five), and Terrell Davis, Franco Harris, and John Riggins (four each).

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, if he wins Saturday night, will become the fifth quarterback in NFL history to win a playoff game in each of his first two seasons, joining Joe Flacco (2008-2009), Ben Roethlisberger (2004-2005), Mark Sanchez (2009-2010) and Russell Wilson (2012-2013).
