The 2022 NFL playoffs continue with an action-packed Divisional Round today. It all starts with two matchups Saturday, beginning with the Cincinnati Bengals vs. the Tennessee Titans at 4:30 p.m. ET. Then, the San Francisco 49ers are slated to battle it out against the Green Bay Packers at 8:15 p.m. ET.
The 49ers are coming off a dramatic 23-17 upset against the Dallas Cowboys. Jimmy Garoppolo went 16-of-25 for 172 yards and threw a late interception that nearly got Dallas back in the game. The quarterback is fighting through injuries to his thumb and shoulder, but is confident he’ll play Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Packers had an extra week to rest after securing the No. 1 seed in the NFC and guaranteeing homefield advantage. That time could be the difference maker for banged up players like Aaron Rodgers, who has been playing through a fractured toe since November.

The Packers narrowly defeated the 49ers 30-28 back in Week 3, thanks to a 51-yard field goal by Mason Crosby. However, the rivalry is rooted much deeper than just this season. These teams have squared up in the playoffs eight times, with each team splitting wins at four apiece. “I’ve been around and played a lot of football. I understand the history of this rivalry, the history of us against them,” Rodgers told reporters. “But these are two different teams.”
