The San Francisco 49ers were finally able to break their losing streak as they beat up on the St. Louis Rams 35-16 on Sunday afternoon. The 49ers scored 28 points in a breakout second quarter and then held on for the victory to improve their record to 3-7 on the year.

Shaun Hill was 15 of 20 for  213 yards and two touchdowns in the game. Hill threw two touchdowns and ran for another one in that 28 point second quarter. Hill did not make a costly mistake like throwing interceptions in the endzone like we have seen earlier in the year so that was nice to see.

Frank Gore led the way on the ground with 18 carries for 106 yards and two touchdowns. Gore’s longest run of the day was a 37 yard run. He did have one fumble however that proved costly as the 49ers probably would have scored a touchdown on th drive.

Byran Johnson and Vernon Davis both caught one touchdown each from Hill.

I like the fact that the 49ers won, but the second half could have been played a lot better. The team was held scoreless by the Rams defense which should never happen. I don’t know if the team just relaxed in the second half or what the problem was but they can’t do that against other teams and expect to hang on and win the games.

Up next will be a tough game against the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys now have Tony Romo back at quarterback and they just beat the Washington Redskinds on the road so the 49ers are going to have to play lights out to pull out a victory.
