Yes sir, boys and girls, in that junkyard known as the Western Division of the National Football Conference, even after getting piled upon in San Diego the other night, the 5-9 San Francisco 49ers are still alive in the race for the division title with two weeks remaining in the regular season as St. Louis and Seattle (both 6-8) lost at home on Sunday to Kansas City (9-5) and Atlanta (12-2, clinching a playoff berth) respectively.  Meanwhile, Arizona's (4-10) two-year run as division champions ended with their loss at Carolina (2-12).
