GREEN BAY — This is the live blog for the fourth quarter of the 49ers’ wild card playoff game against the Packers. I’ll update this frequently with information and analysis from the press box.

4:01 The Packers are going for it on fourth-and-2 from the 30.

4:02 It looks like Rodgers is getting sacked but somehow he escapes and completes a 26-yard pass to Cobb. First-and-goal at the 4.

4:03 Eddie Lacy gains 3 yards on first and goal and David Bakhtiari is down. Second-and-goal at the 49ers’ 1 when play resumes.

4:05 Kuhn runs up the middle for a touchdown on second-and-goal from the 1. 17-13 Packers with 12:06 left. They ran the ball 9 times on that drive. They’ve run the ball 26 times in this game.
