What time and channel is the Packers playoff game today vs Niners?

At 3-6 through their first nine games, few expected the turnaround to be so dramatic that the Green Bay Packers would even sneak into a Wild Card slot in the NFL Playoffs. Do that they would, even taking down the Dallas Cowboys, who looked at times like a Super Bowl threat.

The Packers are officially onto the NFL's divisional round of the playoffs. As the lowest remaining seed in the NFC, they'll have another tough challenge: The 12-5 San Francisco 49ers who were perhaps just an injury away from making it to the Super Bowl as the NFC representative last year. The Niners, securing the No. 1 seed, had a bye for the Wild Card round.

Jordan Love, after clear early jitters, appears to have settled in, found his groove, and captured a great deal of confidence in just his first full season as the Packers' clear and sole franchise quarterback. In the post-Aaron Rodgers world, the Packers making it this far should be seen as a huge win and reason for optimism for what's next.
