One reason the San Francisco 49ers dominated the Minnesota Vikings 20-3 Week 1: Quarterback Colin Kaepernick managed the game to perfection.
Kaepernick didn’t have to make plays or carry the offense—his running back took care of all that. Kaepernick just had to be efficient and not turn the ball over or commit penalties. Basically, he had to play like former 49ers’ quarterback Alex Smith.
And that’s exactly how Kaepernick played. His longest pass traveled just 20 yards. He mostly dinked and dunked and kept the chains moving.
If Kaepernick continues to play like a savvy veteran and doesn’t lose games single-handedly trying to do too much like he did last season (see Week 2 vs. the Chicago Bears), the Niners could win a lot of games this season.
Here are five more reasons the 49ers dominated Week 1.
