Deebo Samuel and the San Francisco 49ers are fresh off of knocking the Dallas Cowboys out of the NFL playoffs. After being written off by most, they pulled off a massive upset on the road. Now, the question is, can the 49ers make a deeper playoff run after an amazing start to the postseason?
Next up for the 49ers will be a date with the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. That is not going to be an easy game. Going up against Aaron Rodgers in the cold confines of Lambeau is a tough task for any team.
Following the big win over the Cowboys, Samuel did not waste any time making a massively bold prediction. He stated simply that he believes the 49ers are on their way to the Super Bowl.
Granted, the 49ers picked up a massive win over the Cowboys. Nobody can take that away from them or discount the win. However, playing the Packers is a much different test than playing Dallas.
In recent years, the Cowboys have been notorious for disappearing come playoff time. It has not mattered how good of a regular season the Cowboys had. They simply have not been able to win the big game in the playoffs.
Samuel put together a massive performance for the 49ers this week. He caught three passes for 38 yards, but carried the ball 10 times for 72 yards and a touchdown. The 49ers have a playmaker that can impact the game in so many different ways.
Looking ahead to next week against the Packers, the 49ers are going to need Deebo Samuel to put together another big-time performance. They will need to bring their best game to Lambeau Field. All roads lead through Lambeau Field right now and the 49ers will see if they can rise to the occasion.
Expect to see a good game next week. The Packers beat the 49ers earlier this season on a last-second field goal. While the 49ers are flying high right now, talking about the Super Bowl this early is very bold indeed.
