So, Who Had The Under?

7. One explanation for Rodgers play from the San Francisco Chronicle:

“We were disguising (coverages) really well,” said 49ers free safety Jimmie Ward. “And we confused him (Rodgers).”

Rodgers, 38, is a 17-year veteran who was making is 228th career start. Did the 49es really flummox him?

“I think the only way you can know for sure is to ask Aaron,” (49ers linebacker) Warner said.

“They did a good job of kind of getting me off the spot and a better job of taking away some of the quick game that we got going the last time we played them,” Rodgers said. “… They had a good plan, for sure. It was more of the pass rush. The pass rush was formidable.”

As for the 49ers, I think the Packers effectively shut down the 49ers running game, forcing Garoppola, with injured hand and shoulder, to throw. It worked.

Good games plans limited both offenses.
