Niners Foil Late Rams Rally, Clinch Number Two Seed In NFC Playoffs And First-Round Bye

At St. Louis:


Michael Crabtree caught two touchdown passes (one for 28 yards from Alex Smith and one for 14 yards from placekicker David Akers on a fake field goal attempt) and Anthony Dixon ran a yard in the fourth quarter for what proved to be the game winning score as the San Francisco 49ers (13-3) held off the home-standing St. Louis Rams (2-14) 34-27 on Sunday in the regular-season finale for both teams.  The win locked up a first-round bye and the #2 seed in the NFC playoffs for the Niners.  San Francisco will host a divisional playoff game in two weeks.
