On Saturday, the 49ers and Packers will meet in primetime…

The divisional playoff schedule is decided by the NFL. This Saturday, January 20, in primetime, kicks off at 5 p.m. PT for the San Francisco 49ers. After Jordan Love led the Niners to an unexpected victory against the Dallas Cowboys, they will now face the Green Bay Packers.

Playing the 49ers against the Packers on Saturday in the playoffs has been successful for them in the past. On a Saturday evening in 2022, Robbie Gould scored the winning touchdown against the Packers. On a Saturday, Colin Kaepernick defeated Aaron Rodgers, the current MVP and a past Super Bowl winner.

The NFC Championship game will take place on Sunday, January 28 at 3:30 p.m. PT, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Here is the divisional playoff schedule along with the channel information for each game:

The NFL had no intention of scheduling the Eagles and Buccaneers game winner to play on a Saturday. The Packers will thus have a disadvantage during rest. But after what Green Bay did to Dallas, they’ll be entering Levi’s Stadium on a high note.

The greatest thing that can happen to the 49ers is the Packers winning in the manner that they did. They will have to concentrate intensely and not take the No. 7 seed lightly as a result.

Over the course of the week, we’ll discuss a few fascinating narratives in this game. One is Steve Wilks, who spent the weekend interviewing for head coaching positions with the Falcons and Chargers in an effort to expand his portfolio. There’s no better way to establish your value than to take on an offence that just finished with more than 40 points.

SAN FRANCISCO According to a source with knowledge of the transaction, the Washington Commanders have a deal in place to appoint San Francisco 49ers executive Adam Peters as their next general manager.

Since the club had not yet made the move public, the source talked to The Associated Press on Friday on the condition of anonymity. Going forward, Peters will oversee all football operations for the organisation.

The Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders expressed interest in the 49-year-old Peters as one of the best prospects available. He worked with the Niners for seven years, the first three as an assistant general manager under John Lynch and the first as vice president of player personnel.

Peters won three Super Bowls before moving back to his hometown of the Bay Area: two as a scouting assistant with New England and one in Denver during his eight-year tenure with the Broncos. Peters and Ian Cunningham, the AGM of Chicago, were the other two contenders for the position.

After firing Ron Rivera, owner Josh Harris and his search committee delivered on their promise to identify and recruit the new front office director in a “thorough but rapid” manner. Peters and his team will now go through a lengthy list of applicants to choose the future coach for Washington.

“We’re looking for the best people to build an elite franchise that’s going to consistently compete and win championships,” Harris said at a press conference Monday.

In more than thirty years, Washington has only triumphed in two postseason series. The 49ers have seen much more success recently, finishing 12-5 to secure the top seed in the NFC this season and making it to the conference championship game the previous two seasons.

During Peters’ tenure in San Francisco, veteran NBA executive Bob Myers was instrumental in turning the Golden State Warriors become four-time champions. In order to help with the searches, Harris recruited Myers, and he plans to keep the two-time basketball executive of the year on staff for at least the next several months.

In addition to selecting a coach, Peters will have to rebuild a team that lacks key players after four years of subpar draft selection under Rivera’s direction. Among them are defensive end Daron Payne and wide receiver Terry McLaurin, both veterans of the former coaching staff.

With the No. 2 choice in the draft, two picks in the top 10 of the second round, and over $87 million in anticipated salary cap room, Peters has an alluring opportunity.

Peters is the newest quarterback to attempt to find a long-term answer at football’s most crucial position for a team that has had a revolving door at that position for decades, after 12 different quarterbacks have started for Washington since the 2018 season began.

Sam Howell is likely to return after starting every game this season as the Commanders finished 4-13 after dropping eight straight games. However, the second selection presents an opportunity to draft either Caleb Williams of USC or Drake Maye of North Carolina, two of the best college prospects. Another possibility for a free agent may be Russell Wilson, or Peters and his front staff could search the trade market.
