Packers vs. 49ers, score update: Colin Kaepernick TD run breaks franchise record
The young quarterback set a pair of records on a 56 -ard touchdown run in the third quarter against the Packers, and also put his team in the lead.
The run put Kaepernick at 163 rushing yards for the game, breaking Roger Craig’s franchise record for rushing yards in a playoff game. It also set a new NFL record for rushing yards in a game by a quarterback, and there’s still another quarter and change left to play. Kaepernick has also reached that total on only 12 carries, which calculates to a healthy 13.6 yards per carry average.
In addition to his rushing prowess, Kaepernick is 13-of-27 passing for 172 yards, two touchdowns and an interception on the day, and is out-dueling Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers at his own game.
