Jim Harbaugh: Colin Kaepernick showed "great poise"

Jim Harbaugh has said that Colin Kaepernick showed "great poise" during their win over the St Louis Rams last night.

The quarterback had come under fire following back-to-back losses for last year's NFC champions, having thrown four interceptions and been sacked six times during the defeats.

The team's head coach told reporters: "Kap was seeing the field and delivering the ball. He played with great poise. He was really locked in and focused all week."

Kaepernick added: "We knew we had to win. It's a big win for us. It's a divisional win."

The 25-year-old made 167 passing yards, two touchdown passes and was sacked just twice during the 35-11 win.
