A victory against the visiting San Francisco 49ers on Sunday would bolster the Green Bay Packers' playoff chances, send a conference rival below .500 and avenge a bitter playoff defeat.

Those seemingly rank in no particular order for the Packers (8-3), although they don't shy from living at leastpartially in the past ahead of a Week 12 showdown.
