In 2012, Kaepernick was initially used sparingly to run certain plays. He scored his first career touchdown in the team's fourth game when he scored on a seven-yard run against the New York Jets. In Week 10, against the St. Louis Rams, Kaepernick replaced Smith in the second half of the game after he suffered a concussion in the first half. Kaepernick completed eleven of seventeen passes for 117 yards and added 66 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown as the 49ers and the Rams ended the game in a 24–24 tie. He got his first NFL start the next game on November 19, during a Monday Night Football game against the Chicago Bears at Candlestick Park. Kaepernick completed 16-of-23 for 246 yards with two touchdowns in a 32–7 win against a highly ranked Bears defense. A quarterback controversy began. Smith was ranked third in the NFL in passer rating (104.1), led the league in completion percentage (70%), and had been 19–5–1 as a starter under Harbaugh, while Kaepernick was considered more dynamic with his scrambling ability and arm strength. Smith was cleared to play the day before the following game, but Harbaugh chose not to rush him back and again started Kaepernick. He remained the starter for the rest of the season and led the 49ers to an 11–4–1 record and a berth in the NFL playoffs.In his first career postseason start, against the Green Bay Packers, Kaepernick had 263 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, one interception and 181 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns as the 49ers defeated the Packers 45–31. With his performance, he set an NFL single-game record for most rushing yards by a quarterback with 181, breaking Michael Vick's record of 173 in a 2002 regular season game. He also broke the 49ers postseason rushing record, regardless of position and joined Jay Cutler and Otto Graham in both as the only players in NFL history to run for two touchdowns and pass for two others in a playoff game. In the NFC Championship, the 49ers defeated the Atlanta Falcons 28–24 with Kaepernick completing 16-of-21 passes for 233 yards and one touchdown. The team advanced to Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans against the Baltimore Ravens. Kaepernick threw for 302 yards, one passing touchdown, and ran for a touchdown, but the 49ers fell behind early and could not come back, losing by a score of 31–34. Overall the rest of his career was average finished with 72 tds 30 ints 12,000 passing yards 2,000 rushing yards and 13 ints

Leading up to the 2016 season, Kaepernick was active in July on social media with social commentary on the fatal police shootings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, the police shooting of Charles Kinsey and the acquittal of police in the death of Freddie Gray.[113][114] In the 49ers third preseason game of the season, reporter Steve Wyche noticed Kaepernick sitting down during the playing of "The Star-Spangled Banner",[113] as opposed to the tradition of standing.[115] During a post-game interview, Kaepernick explained his position stating, "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color. To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder", referencing a series of African-American deaths caused by law enforcement that led to the Black Lives Matter movement and adding that he would continue to protest until he feels like "[the American flag] represents what it's supposed to represent".[116][117] It had gone largely unnoticed that Kaepernick was also sitting during the anthem in the previous two weeks, when he was inactive and not in uniform while recovering from injuries.

The Baltimore Ravens were on their way to a Super Bowl blowout when things really got dark.

Literally.

Super Bowl 47 between the Ravens and San Francisco 49ers on Feb. 3, 2013, was pegged as the first between head coaches who were brothers. Jim Harbaugh stood on the San Francisco sideline and John Harbaugh guided Baltimore while their parents watched within the Superdome.

That story line was compelling, as was the fact that this would be the last game for future Hall of Fame linebacker Ray Lewis, who announced one month earlier that he would end his stellar 17-year career with the Ravens after the season.

Though two Harbaughs stood on opposite sidelines of each other, Jacoby Jones returned a kickoff for a Super Bowl-record 108 yards, Colin Kaepernick nearly orchestrated a miracle comeback and outcome was in doubt until the final play, this game - 4 hours and 14 minutes from start to finish - will be remembered as The Night the Lights Went Out in New Orleans.

Three first-half touchdown passes by Joe Flacco and Jones' electrifying kickoff return to start the third quarter staked Baltimore to a 28-6 lead. The Ravens were riding a crest of momentum that seemed certain to propel them to their second NFL title when the unexpected occurred: A huge bank of lights within the stadium went dark, bringing the game to an eerie halt.

For 34 minutes, the players, coaches and fans loitered in semi-darkness. Understanding that this astonishing delay could, ironically, suck the energy out of the team, John Harbaugh gathered the Ravens together and offered up an impromptu speech.

He said: "I'll remind you of that Motown song. There ain't no mountain high enough, and there ain't no valley low enough, and there's nothing that's going to keep us from winning this championship. Not this, and not nothing. We're going to win this game, no matter how long it takes."

Turns out, he was right. But not before Kaepernick almost brought the 49ers all the way back.

Operating a high-powered attack under the direction of offensive coordinator Greg Roman - who now holds the same job with the Ravens - Kaepernick rallied San Francisco with his legs and gifted right arm.

Running for 5 and 15 yards to open an 80-yard drive, Kaepernick completed an 18-yard pass to tight end Vernon Davis before connecting with Michael Crabtree for a 31-yard score to make it 28-13 with 7:28 left in the third quarter.

A touchdown run by Frank Gore and a field goal by David Akers made it 28-23, and suddenly, it was anyone's game.

After Justin Tucker kicked a field goal for Baltimore, Kaepernick responded with a 15-yard touchdown run. Though the 2-point conversion try failed, the 49ers were now within 31-29 with 9:57 to go.

Tucker made it 34-29 before Kaepernick took San Francisco from its 20 to the Baltimore 7 for a first down with 2:39 remaining.

A 2-yard run and three straight incompletions followed, though Jim Harbaugh probably still is livid that Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith wasn't called for pass interference on a fourth-down pass to Crabtree.

Baltimore subsequently ran three times before Sam Koch lined up to punt out of his own end zone. He took the snap, shuffled around and ran out of bounds for a safety with 4 seconds left.

That led to a free kick, and Ted Ginn was tackled as time ran out.

As Lewis and the Ravens celebrated, Jim and John Harbaugh met in the middle of the field to offer congratulations to each other for getting through one heck of a Super Bowl.

Days later, it was determined that the power failure was caused by a device installed specifically to prevent the lights from going out.

The company that supplies power to the Superdome said the device had been installed to protect the Superdome from a cable failure between the company's incoming power line and the lines that run into the stadium.

Obviously, it didn't work. And neither did Baltimore's offense after the lights finally came back on.

The Ravens managed only two field goals following the power failure, but Flacco did enough beforehand to earn Super Bowl MVP honors. He completed 22 of 37 passes for 287 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions.

That capped a playoff run in which Flacco completed 73 of 126 passes for 1,140 yards, 11 touchdowns and no interceptions, producing a 117.2 passer rating - the highest ever for a postseason since 1970, the year the AFL and NFL merged.

Soon after that, Flacco received the biggest contract ever for an NFL quarterback. But his stay in Baltimore ended last year, when rookie Lamar Jackson took over as the starter. Flacco was traded to Denver this past offseason and will finish the year on injured reserve.

Two other stars in that memorable Super Bowl had their careers take a turn for the worse.

Kaepernick made headlines for taking a knee during the Star-Spangled Banner before a 2016 preseason game. He participated in 12 games for San Francisco that year and has not played since.

Baltimore running back Ray Rice, who ran for 59 yards against the 49ers, was cut by the Ravens before the 2014 season after a video was released showing him striking his fiance in an Atlantic City elevator. No team picked him up.

Anquan Boldin had six catches for 104 yards and a touchdown for Baltimore to earn his only Super Bowl ring over a 14-year career. He was traded to San Francisco during the following offseason and recently retired as a Raven.

Lewis, meanwhile, was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018. Teammate Ed Reed, who had an interception in that Super Bowl, was inducted this past August.

John Harbaugh still coaches the Ravens, but Jim Harbaugh left the 49ers after the 2014 season and now is the head coach at Michigan, his alma mater.

Both teams have changed dramatically since that February matchup in 2013, but each is playing exceptionally well this season heading into Sunday's game at Baltimore - suggesting that a Super Bowl rematch is possible. Here's a closer look:

SAN FRANCISCO

The 49ers returned to the playoffs in 2013 but haven't been there since. Yet, following a run of four straight losing seasons, San Francisco currently owns the best record (10-1) in the NFC under coach Kyle Shanahan.

Unlike Kaepernick, Jimmy Garoppolo is a one-dimensional quarterback who wins solely with his arm. Garoppolo has thrown for 2,731 yards and 20 touchdowns, with a mere 41 yards rushing.

The defense pulled its weight on Sunday night in a 37-8 rout of the Packers.

BALTIMORE

The Ravens (9-2) have flourished with an offense designed by Roman that adheres to the exceptional skills of Jackson. The 2016 Heisman Trophy winner is on course to set an NFL record for yards rushing by a quarterback and has also thrown 24 touchdown passes with only five interceptions.

One of the few remaining players from that Super Bowl team, guard Marshal Yanda, has opened many holes for the most productive running attack in the league.

Baltimore has long been known for its defense, and while this team lacks stars such as Lewis and Reed, Smith remains part of a productive defensive backfield that features safety Earl Thomas on the back end.

Defensive coordinator Don Martindale, an assistant coach on the 2012 team, has put together an effective unit that relies on blitzes and shrewd schemes.

Harbaugh remains on the sideline, but the architect of that Super Bowl team, Ozzie Newsome, now serves as an adviser to first-year general manager Eric DeCosta, who was Newsome's assistant in 2012.

DeCosta has added several significant players -including Thomas and running back Mark Ingram - through the draft and free agency.

Kaepernick finished his collegiate career with 10,098 passing yards, 82 passing touchdowns, 24 interceptions, 4,112 rushing yards and 59 rushing touchdowns. He became the first quarterback in the history of Division I FBS college football to have passed for over 10,000 yards and rushed for over 4,000 yards in a collegiate career, a feat that has not been duplicated. He also tied former Nebraska quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouch for most career rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in FBS history.

Born November 3 1987 in Milwaukee Wisconsin He played six seasons as a professional quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers and would kneel every game as a protest against police brutality and racial equality which eventually got him out of job in the NFL cause of issues involving politics and football. Basically hes trying to protest against social justice and unfairness for black people with the law and he try to make his voice heard using his power in the NFL as a star player. He was a justice oriented citizen he had wealth social norms which helped him share the word out and get it to as much people as he could. and i agree with him he was smart but once the league started to getting into issues with politics i would have stopped and figured out another way but overall i like his thinking.
