49ers snap count: Dre Greenlaw continues every-down role vs. Packers 
Rookie linebacker Dre Greenlaw played so well in Kwon Alexander’s eight-game absence during the regular season, he has continued in his every-down role.

Greenlaw played 47 of the 49ers’ 63 defensive snaps Sunday in the team’s 37-20 victory over the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship Game at Levi’s Stadium.

Alexander, in his second game back after missing half the season with a torn pectoral, played 20 snaps in the game. Greenlaw registered six tackles, while Alexander was credited with two tackles, including one behind the line of scrimmage.

Defensive end Dee Ford saw greater playing time in his second game back. After playing 22 snaps in the 49ers’ divisional-round victory over the Minnesota Vikings, Ford was on the field for 34 defensive plays on Sunday. He had one tackle.

Offensively, the 49ers stuck with their running game. They ran the ball 42 times for 285 yards, while quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo dropped back to pass just nine times. Garoppolo completed six of eight pass attempts for 77 yards. He was sacked one time.

The 49ers featured primarily two-back sets, as fullback Kyle Juszczyk was on the field for 40 offensive snaps, along with Raheem Mostert (45), Tevin Coleman (eight) and Matt Breida (two) combining for every snap.
