Colin Kaepernick, 49ers overcome rival Seahawks, 19-17

SAN FRANCISCO – Colin Kaepernick has slayed his boogeyman.

The San Francisco 49ers quarterback got his first win against the Seattle Seahawks in his third start against the 49ers' despised NFC West rival.

Kaepernick got plenty Sunday in the 19-17 victory: four field goals from Phil Dawson, including the 22-yard game-winner with 26 seconds remaining, set up by a 51-yard run by running back Frank Gore.

San Francisco's win might not do much to change the division — the Seahawks (11-2) still have a two-game lead with three weeks remaining — but it certainly sent a message: This rivalry is very much alive.

What a game! Although I think I had 2 heart attacks during the game. I soooo wanted this win, if for nothing else than to shut Sherman's trap. Of course, that little bitch is now whining that the refs "aided" us in the win
