“Our defense played lights out. I think it was our best performance this year,” Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy said following a 17-3 win at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday.
It was an especially satisfying victory because it was against no less an antagonist than Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers, both of whom had dominated the Packers in recent outings. Kaepernick led the 49ers to postseason wins over the Packers in the 2012 and ’13 seasons.
In this game, the Packers dominated Kaepernick as Kaepernick had terrorized the Packers in the ’12 playoff game.
