Pack frozen out by 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers beat the Green Bay Packers for the second year running in the play-offs with a late field goal giving them a 23-20 success at a freezing Lambeau Field.

A game of several momentum
changes saw defences on top at first before quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Colin Kaepernick started to shine - but it was the 49ers man who
again came out on top.

Kaepernick exploded onto scene with a memorable display in last year's play-offs, and although his numbers were down he was just as effective with 227 yards passing and a touchdown along with 98 yards rushing as he led the Niners
in the running game as well.

Included in those yards were several big runs for first downs at crucial stages, and the Packers could just not find an answer for him for the second year running.

lthough it was freezing at Lambeau Field, record low conditions did not materialise, and did not affect the 49ers who roll on to the divisional round and a clash with the Panthers, who beat them a few weeks ago, in Carolina.

San Francisco started the game off looking utterly dominant on defence as the hustled and harried Aaron Rodgers, who went the entire first quarter without a completion or a first
down.
