Colin Kaepernick Is Cold-Blooded
Colin Kaepernick forgot to strap on his wristband with his team's plays when he took the field for the second half, forcing the 49ers to burn a timeout.

Joe Buck and Troy Aikman might have underplayed how close the 49ers-Packers game was to giving us extra football.
