The San Francisco 49ers scored the first 24 points of the game and coasted to a 24-3 victory over the fading Arizona Cardinals.
Alex Smith was nearly perfect for the 49ers completing 18 of his 19 pass attempts for 232 yards. Smith had three touchdown passes including a pair to Michael Crabtree and one to Randy Moss. Smith was one attempt short of qualifying for the record of highest completion percentage in a game. The record is held by Kurt Warner.
Crabtree dominated Patrick Peterson the Cardinals young superstar. Crabtree beat Peterson five times for 72 yards and two touchdowns.
The Cardinals rushed for only 7 yards the lowest total for the franchise since 1953. They were the Chicago Cardinals then. The Cardinals started the season 4-0 but have lost their last four games to drop to 4-4.
Next week, the 49ers (6-2) are on their bye, and the Cardinals (4-4) travel to Green Bay to play the Packers.
