If the 49ers are going to solve the problems with Colin Kaepernick and the passing game, it starts with reducing the pressure he faces.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Colin Kaepernick felt pressure on his first two interceptions against the Cardinals Sunday, kickstarting a downward spiral that led to one of the worst performances of his five-year career.
Kaepernick threw four interceptions on the day, including two that were returned for touchdowns on his first two possessions. Those two plays finished with Kaepernick on his back, courtesy of Cardinals pass rushers.
That's not to say Kaepernick wasn't to blame on either play.
