LANDOVER, Md. — Never much for words, Colin Kaepernick summed up the best statistical game of his NFL career with typical understatement: “I think this was a good step for us in the right direction.”

Kaepernick clearly outplayed Robert Griffin on Monday night as the San Francisco 49ers broke a two-game losing streak with a 27-6 win over the Washington Redskins.

Kaepernick completed 15 of 24 passes for 235 yards — the first time in five games he’s topped 200 — with three touchdowns and no interceptions for a career-best 134.5 passing rating. He made a couple of throws to Anquan Boldin that looked worthy of a veteran drop-back quarterback.

“Some people have baby deer skin,” 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said. “He’s got the armadillo skin.”

Griffincompleted 17 of 27 passes for only 127 yards and was sacked four times. Washington’s offense amassed 190 total yards.
