Crabtree's eight catches for 125 yards included receptions of 11, 12, 13, 14 and 31 yards, but nothing topped his clutch 17-yard grab in a third-and-10 scenario on San Francisco's final game-winning drive.
Crabtree's consistency in the elements impressed his coach, to say the least:
"People talk about cold weather and it'd be tough to catch balls," coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters after the game, per the Bay Area News Group. "But the greatest catcher of all time, Michael Crabtree, catches everything. It's unbelievable.
"In the northern snowlands, down to the tropics' sunny scenes, he's catching the football. Where they throw a football, he'll be catching it."
He was pretty incredible out there against the Packers, freezing balls game.
