The Niners (4-7) (1-4 V) won in Arizona 27-6, in Week 12 and have moved to third in the NFC West. QB Troy Smith completed 11 of 23 passes for 129 yards with one TD one interception. RB Frank Gore had five carries for 52 yards before leaving the game with a fractured right hip. RB Brian Westbrook had 23 carries for 136 yards with a TD and Anthony Dixon added a TD. WR Michael Crabtree made two catches for 48 yards with a TD. The Niners had one sack and one interception. If the Niners somehow end up winning the NFC West, it will have to be with Westbrook leading the way. "It's always tough when you go out every week and you don't get an opportunity to play," Westbrook said after his 21st career 100-yard game. "It's tough to take Frank off the field. He means so much to this offense and this team that, when you take him off, it's just hard." The Niners O-line shoved Arizona's defensive line out of the way as Westbrook cut back, spun forward and churned ahead. When the linemen didn't move fast enough, Westbrook got them moving by grabbing the back of their jerseys and plowing them where he wanted to go. Westbrook is a nine-year pro with nearly 10,000 yards from scrimmage and 69 overall TD’s. Heavy on the run, play-action on the pass … it's how Singletary thinks the West still can be won. The Niners offense is ranked 23rd overall (320ypg) with a 21st ranked pass game (209ypg) and a 17th ranked running game (110ypg). They score the 31st least amount of points per-game (17ppg). Michael Crabtree leads their offense with five TD’s. The Niners go up against the Packers 12th ranked defense (320ypg), their 10th ranked pass rush (208ypg) and their 18th ranked rush defense (112ypg). The Packers give up the least amount of points per-game (15.1ppg).
The Packers (7-4) (4-1 H) lost in Atlanta 17-20, in Week 12 and now sit second in the NFC North. QB Aaron Rodgers completed 26 of 35 passes for 344 yards with one TD and he was top rusher with 12 carries for 51 yards with a TD. WR Greg Jennings made five catches for 119 yards, while WR Jordy Nelson made five catches for 61 yards with a TD. The Packers defense only got one sack and no interceptions. Coach Mike McCarthy knows the Packers will have a tough time winning in December with QB Aaron Rodgers as their leading rusher. Still, he doesn't seem particularly concerned with the way his running game struggled in Sunday's loss at Atlanta. McCarthy says matchups dictate the offense and Green Bay was emphasizing the passing game against the Falcons. WR Greg Jennings is likely to miss practice time this week because of a foot injury. LB Brandon Chillar will likely sit out because of a shoulder injury and RB Dimitri Nance has a concussion and will be evaluated this week. The Packers offense is ranked 12th overall (354ypg) with a seventh ranked pass game (255ypg) and a 23rd ranked running game (98ypg). They score the eighth most amount of points per-game (24.5ppg). Greg Jennings leads the Packers offense with nine TD’s. The Packers battle the Niners 11th ranked defense (316ypg), their 16th ranked pass rush (218ypg) and their eighth ranked rush defense (98ypg). The Niners give up the 12th least amount of points per-game (20.5ppg).
