SPORTS WITH 3

First  year  starter  Colin Kaepernick,  continued  to  prove  critics  wrong  last  night  as  the  49ers  defeated  the  Packers  45-31.  He  had  two  passing  touchdowns  which  was  complimented  with  two  rushing  touchdowns.  Along  with  those  touchdowns,  Kaepernick  shattered  Michael  Vick's  119  yards  rushing  yards  in  a  playoff  game  for  a  total  of  181  yards.  In  terms  of  passing  Kaepernick  was  263  yards  passing  on  17  out  of  31  attempts.  Aaron  Rodgers  of  the  Packers  was  26  of  39  with  a  total  of  257  yards  passing.  Michael  Crabtree  was  the  recipient  of  both  touchdown  passes  from  Kaepernick.  Ever  since  Jim  Harbaugh  benched  long  time  starter Alex  Smith  midseason  in  favor  of  Kaepernick  there  has  been  doubts  regarding  the  lack  of  playoff  experience  on  Kaepernick's  end.  His  stellar  performance  from  last  night  proved  that  he  could  perform  well  in  playoff  games.  The  San  Francisco  49ers  will  travel  to  the  Gerorgia  Dome  next  sunday  to  play  the  Atlanta  Falcons  in  the  NFC  championship  game.
