Kaepernick totaled 444 yards and four touchdowns (2 rush, 2 pass). His 181 rushing yards set a record for the most rushing yards by a quarterback in a game, regular season included. The 49ers outgained the Packers 579-352, and had the ball for 16 more minutes. With a total of 76 points on the board Saturday, there's bound to be some brilliant photos. Here's five of the best.
