Phil Dawson kicked a 33-yard field goal as time expired, and Colin Kaepernick threw for 227 yards and ran for another 98 to lead the San Francisco 49ers past the Green Bay Packers 23-20 on Sunday night.
49ers defensive tackle Justin Smith is as tough as they come, and even he might wear sleeves for what he estimates would be just the second or third time in his 13-year career. Josh Boyd isn't into making a fashion statement, and he doesn't think he needs to go sleeveless to show off his toughness.
The Green Bay Packers' playoff game Sunday against San Francisco could be one of the coldest in NFL history, rivaling the subzero temperatures of the 1967 Ice Bowl, so fans are taking plenty of precautions.

Last year, the 49ers made an improbable run to the Super Bowl, before falling one play short of reaching the ultimate team goal. They lost to the Baltimore Ravens, a more experienced team that rode momentum all the way to a Championship. This year it's San Francisco who fits this description and unlike last year, the Niners have everything in place to get past the rest of the NFC.
Freezing temperatures are expected at Green Bay's Lambeau Field for the 49ers-Packers playoff game Sunday. John Madden said that's good news for the Packers. "You don't get used to cold," Madden told the KCBS Radio morning crew.
Two of the NFL's most decorated franchises will meet this Sunday when the Packers and 49ers meet in a NFC Wild Card matchup. The winner will move on in the playoffs, while the loser will face a disappointing end to a season that started with much higher aspirations.

Despite their dearth of recent success, all eyes will be on the Cowboys. For the karma and the drama, for better or worse, they are America's team. Mostly for worse. Just watch on Sunday.
The 49ers could still win the NFC West if they beat the Cardinals and the Rams beat the Seahawks in Seattle Sunday. "(A Rams win in Seattle) is a long shot," John Madden told the KCBS Radio morning crew.
The Oakland Raiders have never been worse in franchise history, and for a team that used to pride itself on its winning ways, it's been a long time since the Raiders have won anything.
The 4-11 Oakland Raiders can't keep the 12-3 Denver Broncos from winning the AFC West, but they might be able to stop their division rivals from claiming the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC playoffs if the Silver and Black can end a five-game losing streak.
