49ers slow down high-powered Packers offense

"It's difficult to take him (Willis) off the field," 49ers defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said after the 49ers' 30-22 victory over the Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday. "But it's either that or he has to line up on a receiver sometimes, which he did a couple of times."

Nose tackle Isaac Sopoaga played just four snaps in the entire game. Instead, the 49ers decided to employ extra defensive backs throughout the game to cover Packers receivers of Jordy Nelson, Greg Jennings, James Jones and Randall Cobb.

"Our guys played well," Fangio said. "To hold this team to 14 points at home is a tall task. Really, a lot of the credit goes to our offense to move the ball. We couldn't afford for this game to be where they had 14 or 15 possessions."

San Francisco 49ers – Niner Insider Blog – SFGate.com Game story: 49ers kill series of streaks with 30-22 win at Lambeau

After coaching from upstairs, the grim-faced 53-year-old sat slumped on the back of a golf cart, which was ferrying him, general manager Trent Baalke and offensive coordinator Greg Roman under the stands at Lambeau Field to a celebratory locker room. So why, exactly, did Fangio appears so deflated after his defense had capped off a virtuoso performance by stopping Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers on a potential last-minute, game-tying drive?

“At the end there when you’re going through that, it’s like you’re being drowned and someone just pulled you out of the water,” Fangio said. “You’re just laying there. It’s like ‘Thank God you’re alive.’”
