The 49ers topple the Packers 45-31 in the divisional round
Whether he was running or throwing, the San Francisco 49ers leaned on Colin Kaepernick, who carried the team to a huge win on Saturday night.
In his first postseason game, Kaepernick finished with 446 total yards and four scores. The second-year player looked phenomenal, out-dualing the reigning league MVP in Aaron Rodgers. Kaepernick made the entire team look tremendous, responding well after a rocky start.
Kaepernick threw a pick-six to start the game, but followed it up with a flawless performance.
San Francisco's defense stepped up to the plate, frustrating Rodgers throughout the match. It was a great effort by the secondary in particular, who took away the Packers' receivers all night. Even when Rodgers had time in the pocket, he had no open targets.
The Niners will advance to their second NFC Championship in as many years under head coach Jim Harbaugh. They will play the winner of Sunday's game between the Atlanta Falcons and Seattle Seahawks.
Under Jim Harbaugh the #49ers have beaten Drew Brees (x2), Aaron Rodgers (x2) and Tom Brady in five games played -- three on the road.

While other teams were reaching for QBs in RD 1 of the 2011 draft SF took Aldon Smith at 7 and Kaepernick in the 2nd

:52 remaining in the fourth quarter...
And the Packers' onside kick attempt failed. The Niners will run the clock out here.
Aaron Rodgers connects with Greg Jennings on a 3-yard TD pass with 57 seconds left in the game. #49ers lead 45-31.

What an epic eight-minute drive that was by the Niners to take the life out of Green Bay.

Let's hope the 49ers can break that W-W-L streak.

#49ers minutes away from 2nd consecutive #NFCChampionship game. If Seahawks win, we get a nice rematch at #Candlestick 12 noon next Sunday.

Can't see Gus Bradley or Mike Nolan letting Kaepernick run wild like the Packers did. 49ers must evolve next week to keep winning.

Two Harbaughs left in the playoffs. No Mannings.

#Packers are a very good team with holes on defense--but they'll be back next year and once again a top team. #Respect

Looking like four conference championship appearances in two years for the Harbaugh family. Decent.

You know what that touchdown means? That's right. The potential Harbaugh-Harbaugh Super Bowl matchup is still alive.

Anthony Dixon TOUCHDOWN!
It's game over. The 49ers will advance to the NFC title round.
Well, at least Donald Driver was active.

#49ers WR @kingcrab15 picks up 14 yard on 3rd down. SF to go for 4th and 1 from GB's 18.

Since Manning vs Brady is off the table, Harbaugh vs Carroll is the most attractive potential storyline for next week

Frank Gore over the 100-yard mark. 105 yards rushing on 20 carries.

Kaepernick is going for the jugular here...
San Francisco's offense is still in attack-mode.
Colin Kaepernick is the first player in NFL history with 175+ passing, 175+ rushing in the same game.

Alex Smith this season: 31 carries for 132 yards and 0 TD in 10 games.Colin Kaepernick tonight: 12 carries for 163 yards and 2 TD.
