We’re sorry, Tom. We won’t doubt you again. Same for you, Colin.

The Patriots erased a 31-3 deficit, and tied the 49ers with 6:43 left in Sunday night football. Then Colin Kaepernick answered with a 38-yard touchdown pass to Michael Crabtree 18 seconds later.

The four unanswered touchdowns by the Patriots (two each by Tom Brady and Danny Woodhead) came with stunning pace, and set up a classic finish on Sunday Night Football.
