The Green Bay Packers fanbase thinks the league “rigged” the San Francisco 49ers win in the Divisional Round Saturday night after a questionable video appeared during the game.
The seventh-seeded Packers gave themselves a chance to upset the 49ers, but San Francisco scored a game-winning touchdown on their final possession. As he did in training camp this August, Packers quarterback Jordan Love threw an interception in the two-minute offense to seal a 49ers win.
Some Calls went against the Green Bay Packers
However, the Packers had several tough calls go their way all night. A photo appeared showing the 49ers lining up offsides on a short-distance play. A video surfaced on social media of Love appearing to convert a first down on a fourth-and-short play in the red zone early in the second quarter. However, the league did not overturn the spot, and the Packers lost a chance to score a field goal or touchdown on the drive.
WOW… AN AWFUL SPOT BY THE #NFL REFS.
The #Packers had the first down. Matt LaFluer is not happy.

WRECKING A PLAYOFF GAME.

The Packers lost the game by three points.
Packers fans call the game rigged for the San Francisco 49ers
The Packers had their chances to win. Rookie Anders Carlson missed a crucial kick that would have kept the game tied for their final possession of the game.
However, many Packers fans feel the NFL helped the 49ers win. There’s a viral conspiracy that the 49ers and Baltimore Ravens have been picked to play in the Super Bowl due to their team colors matching the Super Bowl logo.
Here are the best takes of Packers fans calling the game rigged.
49ers need the refs to beat the packers🤣🤣🤣

Clearly a 1st down. Fix is in. No point in playing the rest of the game

The Packers are sore losers. The refs make bad calls from time to time, get over it. Everyone else has to.
Not a first down poor angle. Need different view.
