Packers-49ers: Key moments from NFL playoff rivalry - ESPN

In the long and storied history of the NFL playoffs, many rivalries have been born and grown through sheer repetitiveness. There's no better example than the San Francisco 49ers and the Green Bay Packers.

It's a postseason rivalry that will be renewed Saturday night when the seventh-seeded Packers visit Levi's Stadium to take on the top-seeded Niners. This will be the 10th playoff matchup between San Francisco and Green Bay, setting a record for the most postseason games between two teams in NFL history.

The 49ers hold the all-time edge, winning five of the previous nine postseason meetings, and are riding a streak of four consecutive playoff wins against Green Bay, which is tied for the second-longest win streak against an opponent in NFL playoff history. A win Saturday would move the Niners into a tie with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the longest streak, as they've won five straight against the Indianapolis Colts.

The matchup will offer a different look than some of the others in the series. Green Bay arrives as one of the youngest teams in the league and playing with house money to some extent. The Niners, in contrast, are still trying to finish the job and win the Super Bowl after reaching at least the NFC Championship Game in three of the past four seasons.

There are plenty of storylines here, too, including the matchup of Niners coach Kyle Shanahan and Packers coach Matt LaFleur — former assistants together in Washington and longtime friends. Both teams will be led by two of the NFL's most interesting and productive young quarterbacks in Green Bay's Jordan Love and San Francisco's Brock Purdy.
