It wasn't till the second quarter that the first TD was scored by QB Aaron Rodgers throwing a 5 yard pass to WR Jordy Nelson to take the lead, 7-6. The 49ers quickly attacked though with HB Frank Gore running the ball into the end zone from 10 yards out to take the lead, 13-7. The Packers then scored 10 unanswered points include a rushing TD by FB John Kuhn to make the score 17-13, Packers. Kapernick was not done yet though. He continued to have a 1 minutie and 36 second drive down field; it was capped off with a 28 yard reception by TE Vernon Davis for the TD to regain the lead, 20-17. Rodgers then was able to slowly drive down field for a field goal by K Mason Crosby to tie it up. With 6:36 on the clock, Kapernick went full Brady. He was able to drive very slow down the field to set up a game winning FG by K Phil Dawson.
The Packers offense did very little in the game. Rodgers only threw for 177 yards and 1 TD to WR Jordy Nelson who finished the day with 7 catches and 62 yards. WR Randall Cobb only got 2 receptions in his second game back for 52 yards. HB Eddie Lacy did decently today with 21 carries for 81 yards to average about 4 yards per carry.
Kapernick a legs did shine through in the game. In the game, he had 98 yards on the ground as well as 227 yards in the air for 1 TD and an interception. WR Michael Crabtree was also a huge start in this game with 8 receptions for 125 yards. HB Frank Gore also played well with 66 yards rushing and a TD.
The star of this game I must say was Colin Kapernick. Though he only threw one passing TD his legs really drove the team to victory. The 49ers will go to Carolina to play MLB Luke Kuelchy and his defensive Panthers.
