Tossout in the Tundra

Temperatures flirted with record lows for a football game of this significance as the mercury dropped to -2 degrees Fahrenheit during the Wild card round match-up between the San Francisco 49ers and the Green Bay Packers. Many players on both teams who seldom wear sleeves decided to cover up for the big game in the so-called "Frozen Tundra". Many people believed that Niners QB Colin Kaepernick would freeze up in the ice cold temperatures, but when the last seconds ticked of the clock, Colin bettered his record to 3-0 against the Packers. All in all, another thrilling 49er victory that, just as the weekend before, ended in a game winning Phil Dawson field goal. Both running backs, Eddie Lacy and Frank Gore, looked nearly invincible for the better part of the day but in the end it was the niners who ran away with the victory and escaped the cold weather with their ticket punched to their divisional round matchup in Carolina.
