Colin Kaepernick will look to sustain his momentum when the San Francisco 49ers resumes their 2014 NFL Playoffs campaign against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at the CenturyLink Field.

Kaepernick, who led the 49ers to an impressive 23-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, wants to keep rolling and pick up from where he left off in their game against the Panthers in which he tallied 196 yards passing for one touchdown.

"I think we're the two teams that everybody was looking at from the beginning," said Kaepernick on their upcoming showdown with the Seahawks. "It's going to be a knockdown, drag-out game. We're ready to go."

But in order to lead the 49ers to their second-straight Super Bowl appearance, the 26-year-old quarterback should step up and get the monkey off his backs as he struggled in their previous meetings against the Seahawks.

In their first meeting this season, Kaepernick was stopped in his tracks as he was limited to just 127 yards passing, including three INTs, which led to 29-3 lopsided loss for the 49ers.

Kaepernick struggled to solve the puzzling defense of Seattle, which successfully flustered the former Nevada standout into his worst-passing game as a 49ers starter.

The tattooed quarterback, who drew criticisms after mocking Cam Newton's "Superman" touchdown dance on Sunday's match against the Panthers, is 1-2 against the Seahawks.

Kaepernick is only averaging 182 passing yards against the Seahawks, which is below his 219.9-yard average against other teams, while only throwing for just two touchdowns with five INTs.

49ers legendary quarterback Joe Montana, who is considered as one of the best QB's in NFL history, expressed confidence that the Kaepernick has the skill to lead San Francisco to greater heights. But in order to do so, Montana offered some piece of advice to the fourth-year QB.

"I like his mobility and that he's getting the ball downfield," Montana said. "But sometimes he needs to be more accurate in the pocket with pressure. The game is changing. Nobody wants to throw with pressure anymore. But the guys who can win in this league are the ones who can make throws from the pocket."

Kaepernick had the last laugh during his showdown with Newton on Sunday. It remains to be seen whether or not he can sustain his momentum to outplay Seahawks QB Russell Wilson, who has thrown for five touchdowns with only two INTs during his last two home games against San Francisco.
