SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20 (UPI) -- Colin Kaepernick hurled a trio of touchdown passes in his first NFL start Monday and the San Francisco 49ers used a tough defense to rout Chicago 32-7.
Kaepernick -- starting in place of the injured Alex Smith -- went 16-for-23 through the air for 243 yards, guiding the 49ers to scores on each of their first four possessions.
