He was Dilfer's number one target, pulling in 6 receptions for 85 yards. Shaun Alexander ran hard all day, but there wasn't much room for him. Most of his 96 yards on the ground came on a 42 yard run. He added a 1-yard touchdown in the third quarter. WHAT YOU OUGHT TO KNOW San Francisco 49ers QB: Jeff Garcia had plenty of time to hang back in the pocket today and throw sharp passes. He threw for just over 200 yards, 2 touchdowns to Owens, and no interceptions. When all of his receivers were covered he took off running for a total of 48 yards. He kept a scoring drive alive with a 17 yard run on 3rd and 10. Garcia kept the final drive alive with a key 9 yard run on 3rd and 2. RB: Garrison Hearst started the game. He gained 41 yards on 10 carries. He also added 33 yards on 3 receptions. It was a mild surprise that he didn't explode against a very average Seattle run defense. He added a 2-point conversion after Terrell Owens 2nd touchdown, to give the 49ers a 7-point lead. He might have had a scoring opportunity when San Francisco had the ball at the Seattle 6 with Hearst in the game. But a False Start penalty on the 49ers plus a sack on 2nd down moved them back to FG range. Kevan Barlow was the stronger back today. It seems like any time he touches the ball something big might happen. He's a much stronger back this year after having worked out with Terrell Owens in the off-season. He gained 68 yards on 12 carries and added a 6-yard touchdown run. His final run of the game, a 26-yarder on 3rd and 10, made sure that the 49ers could run the clock out to end the game. WR: Terrell Owens was himself today. He caught 6 passes for 84 yards and 2 touchdowns. An incomplete pass to him on 3rd and 6 turned into a Shawn Springs penalty and an automatic 1st down. One play later Garcia connected with him for a 37-yard touchdown and the game winner. Earlier in the game, he and was open for a TD but Garcia was pressured and did not make the throw. He complained on the sidelines for several minutes. He was then featured on the next offensive possession. On the play everyone is talking about - After his 2nd TD, Owens pulled a marker out of his sock and signed the ball for his Financial Advisor sitting in the stands. It's interesting in that his advisor also works for Seattle Cornerback Shawn Springs and was a guest in Springs' seats. Tai Streets started for the injured J.J. Stokes. He performed well gaining 66 yards. That is more yards than Stokes has gained in any single game this season. He took advantage of the Owens double coverage quite well. Cedrick Wilson, a 2nd year player, caught the first two passes of his career today, while gaining 18 yards. TE: Eric Johnson contributed a few blocks, but not much else. He didn't get a single look from Garcia. San Francisco Pass Defense - Ahmed Plummer and Zack Bronson each snagged an interception. As a whole, this defense played strong. They didn't allow any passes for over 20 yards and kept Dilfer throwing short passes over the middle. The only touchdown they let up was a 9-yard pass to Mack Strong. San Francisco Rush Defense - With the exception of Alexander's 42 yard run, they kept him in check for most of the game. San Francisco Special Teams - They let Bobby Engram return a punt for 61 yards. They should have caught him. He isn't the fastest player out there. Jose Cortez was perfect today. He went 2-2 on field goals (37, 29). /**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/** Seattle Seahawks QB: Trent Dilfer performed well.
