New on SI: Packers vs. 49ers: NFC Championship Live Blog

Keep up with all the action as the Packers and 49ers battle for a chance to go to Super Bowl LIV.

The

San Francisco 49ers and Green Bay Packers are two of the NFL's marquee franchises. Throughout the league's history both teams have featured some of the sport's best players as well as its top coaches. Sunday marks the eighth playoff meeting between the two, but just the second NFC Championship. A Super Bowl appearance is on the line.

The two met earlier this season, when, on Nov. 24, the 49ers rolled through the Packers 37–8, holding Green Bay's offense scoreless until the third quarter. As the 49ers' defense stifled Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, Niners QB Jimmy Garoppolo completed 14 of his 20 pass attempts for 253 yards and two scores. The team's rushing attack was instrumental in the win as well, knifing through the Packers' defense for 112 yards and two scores.

Almost two months have passed since the teams last met and Green Bay hasn't lost since. Who will punch a ticket to Super Bowl LIV in Miami?
