SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) -Frank Gore has plenty of reasons to feel battered this season. The pain in his injured ankle and the hurt from the San Francisco 49ers' disappointing season are small next to the tragedy of his mother's death - and now the murder of Sean Taylor, his close friend. Yet the running back returns to work each day with purpose and patience, believing he can persevere through any setback. Gore's faith was rewarded in a remarkable game against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday - and tested a |

The leading candidate initially was Mike Singletary, the assistant head coach for the San Francisco 49ers.

| (Best E Casino) - Those are the types of games playoff-hopeful teams are supposed to win. The Arizona Cardinals, in second place in the NFC West and very much in the postseason hunt, were hosting the San Francisco 49ers, a club that was in the midst of an eight-game losing streak, this past Sunday. However, there was 49ers defensive end Ronald Fields hitting quarterback Kurt Warner in the end zone in overtime. There was Warner fumbling the ball. There was San Francisco's Tully Banta-Cain recovering for the win. |

For starters, the almost-loss came on the same day the second-place Arizona Cardinals fell in overtime to the San Francisco 49ers, meaning 7-4 Seattle now has a two-game lead over the 5-6 Cardinals for first place in the NFC West. That means with a win on the road against Philadelphia this weekend, the Seahawks can just about lock up the division when they host Arizona on Dece |

| (Best E Casino) - On paper, it will seem as if the San Francisco 49ers just needed to bench Alex Smith to get their offense going. After all, that is the easiest explanation as to why the 49ers were able to snap their eight-game losing streak with Sunday's 37-31 overtime victory against the Arizona Cardinals. Backup quarterback Trent Dilfer threw for 256 yards and two touchdowns and made a host of big throws. But remember, Dilfer was also under a center a week ago, when San Francisco lost to the Rams and produce |

Dallas has won five in a row since a 48-27 setback to the still-unbeaten New England Patriots in Week 6. The game will be the first encounter between a pair of 10-1 teams since 1990, when the San Francisco 49ers and New York Giants locked horns. Both of those clubs would also meet in the NFC Championship Game that season. |

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) -Nobody can accuse the San Francisco 49ers of not enjoying their successes, no matter how small they might be. A day after the Niners stopped their eight-game losing streak with a 37-31 overtime victory in Arizona, coach Mike Nolan gave his players part of Monday off to reflect on their accomplishments. They even got a souvenir to remember it by: Nolan awarded game balls to every player. In another city, such effusiveness over a midseason win might be laughable. For the 49ers (3-8), |
