Colin Kaepernick: 'I will give Vernon Davis chances'

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick has vowed to give Vernon Davis as many chances as he can after the tight end inspired his side to a 32-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals in the NFL last night.

Davis, who lined up at wide receiver and tight end during the match, caught two second-quarter touchdown passes of 61 yards and 35 yards respectively on his way to career-best figures of 180 receiving yards.

Kaepernick threw for 252 yards to end a run of four matches without breaking the 200-yard barrier, but the quarterback insists that Davis was the star of the show.

"I'm going to give Vernon his chances when I can. He makes a lot of great plays," Kaepernick told The AP.

The win was the 49ers' third in a row, leaving them second in the NFC West with a 4-2 record, while the Cardinals are now joint-bottom with 3-3.
