Packers' Clay Matthews to Colin Kaepernick: 'You ain't Russell Wilson, bro'
The Packers didn’t have much success against 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick in past meetings, but they handled him just fine on Sunday.
Kaepernick ran for 57 yards and completed 13-of-25 passes for 160 yards and an interception in a 17-3 loss that marked the first time the Packers have won a game started by Kaepernick. The Packers sacked Kaepernick six times on the way to the victory and added a verbal hit to the pounding after Kaepernick slid for a short gain late in the game.
Microphones from the FOX broadcast pick up a Packers player, linebacker Clay Matthews is the main suspect, telling Kaepernick “you ain’t Russell Wilson, bro.” Matthews and Kaepernick have some history after a late hit by Matthews touched off a scuffle the last time the two teams faced each other and Matthews also borrowed Kaepernick’s bicep-kissing celebration earlier in the game.
The Packers beat Wilson for the first time in Week Two, so Kaepernick does have something in common with the Seahawks signal caller. It’s just not the things that some thought might be in Kaepernick’s future when he went to the Super Bowl and NFC title games after the 2012 and 2013 seasons, which is one of the problems plaguing the 49ers as the 2015 season unfolds.
