49ers destroy helpless Packers 37-8 with ferocious pass rush, big plays

Even Colin Kaepernick running roughshod over a helpless Dom Capers defense in the playoffs never reached true embarrassment for the Green Bay Packers. Sunday night’s anemic 37-8 loss took that level of domination and elevated it, evincing a familiar story when the Packers played little brother to the San Francisco 49ers. Each team was technically an NFC contender, but Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy couldn’t find answers to Kaepernick, Jim Harbaugh and a punishing defensive front. Rodgers may be the only player left in the tale, but the plot endured, the Packers running behind their nemesis desperate to catch up.
