Niners Club Cards In Season Finale; NFL Playoff Field Set

At San Francisco:

Alex Smith threw a 59-yard touchdown pass to Vernon Davis in the third quarter as the San Francisco 49ers (6-10), in what was likely Jim Tomsula's one game as interim head coach, buried the visiting Arizona Cardinals (5-11) 38-7 in the season finale for both teams on Sunday.

The field for the playoffs is now set.
