When he threw two pick-sixes in the first 5:57 of Sunday's Week 3 game against the Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick became the fastest quarterback to do so since 1925, according to NFL's Gregg Rosenthal.

On the first offensive possession of the game, Kaepernick threw an interception returned by Cardinals defensive back Justin Bethel for a 21-yard touchdown. On the next possession, he was intercepted by Cardinals defensive back Tyrann Mathieu for a 33-yard touchdown.

Kaepernick finished 9 of 19 with 67 yards passing, zero touchdowns and four interceptions. His performance was summed up by his 16.7 passer rating.

The 49ers fell 47-7 to the Cardinals. In the past two weeks, the 49ers have been outscored by 65 combined points after opening the season with a 17-point victory.
