San
Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has a history -–
albeit a short one -– of terrorizing the Green Bay Packers with his
athleticism and versatility. Kaepernick is again showcasing those
strengths this afternoon at Lambeau Field, sparking the 49ers to a
13-10 halftime lead.
But
the Packers have their own playmaking quarterback. And with Aaron
Rodgers beginning to heat up, a back-and-forth first-round NFC
playoff showdown in Green Bay could go down to the wire with both
quarterbacks looking to produce in the clutch.
Late
in the first half, with pressure coming, Kaepernick delivered the
game’s longest gain so far, tucking and bolting though an opening
up the middle. The third-year quarterback’s speed left a horde of
Packer defenders in his wake and produced a 42-yard run.
Two
snaps later, running back Frank Gore took an inside handoff and
rumbled 10 yards up the middle for the go-ahead touchdown, putting
the 49ers ahead 13-7.
Kaepernick
finished the first half 8-for-15 passing for 117 yards while rushing
for 47 yards.
Rodgers,
meanwhile, led the Packers to scores on their final two possessions
of the half. In his first action at Lambeau Field since fracturing
his collarbone Nov. 4 against the Chicago Bears, Rodgers delivered a
pretty 5-yard touchdown pass to Jordy Nelson with 5:50 left in the
second quarter. That capped an impressive 14-play, 70-yard drive
after the Packers had gone three-and-out on their first three drives.
