MQ Chess Match Ep. 9 – Packers vs 49ers (NFC CG)

In this episode of MQ Chess Match, Coach A. breaks down the NFC Championship game between the Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense versus the 49ers defense. Though Rodgers had a decent game on paper (31/39 330+ & 2/2), the ‘9ers were able to keep him relatively in check. Most understand the dominance of the 49ers’ front line, but the ability to manipulate coverage helped them in the game as well. Coach A. goes over each sack (3) and interception (2) thrown in the game.
