GREEN BAY, Wis. — Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love doesn't hide the fact that the playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers lingered with him throughout the offseason. Love can gain some measure of revenge Sunday when these two teams face off for the first time since the Packers squandered a fourth-quarter lead and fell 24-21 to the 49ers in last season's NFC divisional round. Love says that "just knowing that that's the team that knocked us out, we're definitely hungry for this game."
