Kaepernick: 'Didn't say anything'

— -- SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick maintained his stance Wednesday that he "didn't say anything" to warrant an unsportsmanlike penalty for inappropriate language in Sunday night's 28-20 loss to the Chicago Bears.

Kaepernick said he was fined "over $11,000" for the penalty.

"It will be appealed," he said, adding that what he supposedly said was not identified in the letter explaining his fine.

It was early in the fourth quarter when Kaepernick tried to hit Michael Crabtree with a pass on the left that Bears rookie cornerback Kyle Fuller stepped in front to pick off the ball. As the play died down, Kaepernick and defensive lineman Lamarr Houston began jawing at each other on the sideline and a yellow flag came flying.

"The player that I supposedly said something to has been quoted saying I didn't say anything," Kaepernick said. "And I don't know him, so it's not like he would have a reason to just randomly stick up for me."

Kaepernick threw three interceptions in the game and also lost a fumble as the Bears rallied from deficits of 17-0 and 20-7 to win.
