STREAKS, STATS AND NOTES - Fifth meeting between teams since 2012. … 49ers have won last four since Green Bay beat San Francisco 34-16 on Dec. 5, 2010, at Lambeau Field for eight-game winning streak in series. Three of last four 49ers’ wins decided by eight or fewer points. … Packers’ first visit to second-year, $1.3 billion Levi’s Stadium, home of 50th Super Bowl. … In short week, Green Bay plays on road after Monday night game for just fifth time since 2006. Packers 3-1 in those games. Also 9-2 regular season in California since 1990, 2-1 under coach Mike McCarthy. … In six starts vs. San Francisco including playoffs, QB Aaron Rodgers is 147 of 221 for 1,712 yards, 13 touchdowns, three interceptions and 103.7 passer rating. … 49ers gave up 90 points over two games for first time since 1980. Combined margin of defeat of 65 points is largest over two-game stretch since that 6-10 finish in ’80: 48-26 loss to Los Angeles Rams followed by 59-14 debacle against Dallas. … In first career postseason start, 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick set NFL single-game rushing record by QB with 181 yards and two TDs on 16 carries against Green Bay on Jan. 12, 2013, in divisional playoffs. … Kaepernick threw four interceptions in 47-7 loss at Arizona last week, with two pick-6s. … San Francisco sacked Rodgers 16 times in six total games. … Fantasy tip: To play or not play RB/return man Reggie Bush? It’s unclear how much and in what role Bush might play as he looks to return from two-game absence after left calf injury sustained in Sept. 14 season opener vs. Vikings.
