The Colin and Clay Show

The Colin and Clay Show

Packers linebacker Clay Matthews had his game-face on in the season opener.

On 3rd-and-6 from the Green Bay 10 in the second quarter, Colin Kaepernick drops back to throw.

Matthews briefly has the Niners QB in his sights.

Kaepernick scrambles left, still looking to throw.

Finding no target, he heads for the pylon.

Matthews draws a bead . . .

. . . and launches as Kaepernick runs out of bounds.

The linebacker takes out Kaepernick with a strong forearm.

The hit, clearly out of bounds, draws an immediate personal foul penalty.

The two slam to the turf.

Left tackle Joe Staley, who’d originally locked up on Matthews on the play, jumps in to protect his quarterback.

A hockey game breaks out . . .

. . . and more players join the fun.

Staley is calmed by his teammates after drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct flag.

After the blown officiating call—the play should have stood after the dead-ball penalties, making it fourth down—Anquan Boldin takes a Kaepernick pass into the endzone.

The Niners celebrate a touchdown that probably shouldn’t have been.

And the NFL’s most famous tattooed star was all smiles after his most prolific passing day yet—and a 49ers win.
