49ers lead Packers at halftime at cold Lambeau Field

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.
