San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh has hailed quarterback Colin Kaepernick as a "clutch performer" following his display in yesterday's playoff match against the Green Bay Packers.
Kaepernick helped his side to a 23-20 win over the Packers to reach the Divisional round of the playoffs, throwing 16 of 30 for 227 yards and one touchdown, as well as rushing for 98 yards on just seven carries.
The 26-year-old also guided his side up the field with the score level in the closing stages of the fourth quarter, setting up Phil Dawson for the winning field goal as time expired.
"It was unbelievable, the way he was getting the edge. I mean, just clutch. Colin Kaepernick, I think we can all agree, is a clutch performer," Harbaugh told The AP.
The 49ers will now face the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
