If the Green Bay Packers want to recreate Super Bowl I, they’re going to need to do something. At this rate, the Packers need to just do anything different because at halftime, they are currently getting spanked 27-0 by the San Francisco 49ers.
The 49ers have been led by their defense, who has sacked Aaron Rodgers twice and got two turnovers. On the offensive side of the ball, the 49ers gameplan went through Raheem Mostert, who scored three touchdowns in the half.
His first was a 36 yard bolt of lightning into the end zone. Then his second TD was a nine yard run around the left corner, thanks to a crucial block by receiver Deebo Samuel.
MOSTERT. 36 YARDS. GONE.

Mostert then burst up through the middle for an 18 yard run for his third touchdown and almost already put the game out of reach for the Packers.
Can't stop Heem.

With Tevin Coleman out with injury, Mostert will need to step up if he has to miss playing time. With 160 rushing yards on 14 carries and running at an average of 11.4 rushing yards per carry in the first half, Mostert and the 49ers will be just fine.
