It sure wasn’t pretty but the San Francisco 49ers came away with a one point victory on Sunday against the St. Louis Rams. Josh Morgan caught the game winning touchdown on a 48 yard pass from Shaun Hill late in the fourth quarter and then the defense held off the Rams on their final drive of the game as the team came away with a 17-16 victory to improve to 6-9 on the season.
Hill didn’t have a good game but he came up big when the team needed him the most. He finished the game with 18 of 34 for 216 yards and two touchdowns. However he was also picked off three times in the game.
Issac Burce was the leading receiver for the team and he also caught his 1000th career pass in the game. Bruce caught seven balls for 61 yards and one touchdown in the game. Congrats to Issac for going over the 1000 catches!
The running game of the 49ers was pretty much nonexistent the entire game. Hill led the team on the ground with 45 yards on four carries while DeShaun Foster had just 36 yards on 12 carries.
Patrick Willis and Michael Lewis were the anchors on the 49ers defense as they both finished with 13 tackles each. It seems like we blog about Willis and Lewis each week as they are the two stars on this defense. We can’t forget that Tarell Brown also intercepted a pass in the game as well.
So now it comes down to the final game of the season on Sunday. The 49ers will be taking on the Washington Redskins at home with a game time of 4:15 ET. Get out the stadium if you can and let’s all watch a 49ers victory to close out the 2009 season!
