The next three games for the 49ers won’t be easy, and the stretch begins Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers –  the current No. 2 seed in the NFC. This game is oozing with talent from both sides with Aaron Rodgers and Jimmy Garoppolo leading the charge. All the matchups to watch in this one effectively stem from the two signal callers.

Here are the matchups that will decide the Sunday night clash between the 49ers and Packers:

Richard Sherman vs. Davante Adams

Sherman had an interesting week last week when he got called for pass interference three times against Cardinals second-year receiver Christian Kirk. On Sunday he’ll face possibly the best receiver he’s lined up against this season. Adams missed four games earlier in the year with a toe injury, but still leads Green Bay with 57 targets. He’s by far Rodgers’ favorite pass catcher, and the star quarterback won’t hesitate to go after Sherman like some others have this season. Sherman will need to do his best not just covering Adams, but also covering Adams with less physicality than usual to prevent those big penalties.
