The San Francisco 49ers gain a game in the NFC West with their rout of the Seattle Seahawks. The 49ers needed a win and got one with their 40-21 victory on Sunday afternoon at Candlestick Park and are now only a game behind Seattle and St. Louis with three games left to play.
Alex Smith started for the 49ers in place of quarterback Troy Smith. He completed 17 of his 27 passes for 255 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions.
On the other side of the ball, Seattle quarterback Matt Hasselbeck threw four interceptions.
San Francisco has a short week coming up with a Thursday game against the Chargers in San Diego at Qualcomm Stadium. The 49ers will then finish in St. Louis and at home against Arizona.

Both Alabama and Ohio State will hold their pro days on Tuesday, March 30. Both have top quarterback prospects entering the draft in Mac Jones and Justin Fields. Both players are considered candidates for the San Francisco 49ers, who last week surrendered several future draft picks to move from the No. 12 slot to No. 3 overall.
With both pro days scheduled for the same day, the 49ers will split duties, per Peter King of NBC Sports. General manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan are scheduled to attend Alabama's workout to watch Jones. Assistant general manager Adam Peters and a delegation of staff will attend Ohio State's to watch Fields.
"Not sure I would infer huge meaning to that, but it could be significant," wrote King in his

The San Francisco 49ers shocked the NFL world by pulling off a massive trade moving from the No. 12 overall pick up to No. 3 in next month's NFL Draft. It is clear that the team is targeting a quarterback to—at some point—replace current starter Jimmy Garoppolo. It remains a mystery who that might be.
Up until that point, team brass had verbally committed to Garoppolo being the quarterback in 2021, with the caveat that NFL rosters are always fluid. Garoppolo could very well remain with the 49ers through the upcoming season. That's the impression that head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch gave while speaking with reporters on Monday.
The two tried to keep Garoppolo abreast of the situation leading to the franchise- and draft-altering

Oftentimes, the type of move the 49ers pulled off last week when they traded up to pick 3 in the 2021 NFL Draft takes place much closer to the start of the draft, if not after the draft actually begins. So why did the team feel it was necessary to make the move over a month in advance, and why did it think it was worth the heavy price it paid to get it done?
Call it a good old-fashioned case of fear of missing out.
49ers general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan held a media session with reporters on Monday, during which they spoke about last Friday's trade that sent the 12th overall pick, a third-round pick in 2021, and two future first-round picks to the Miami Dolphins in exchange for pick 3. The timing of the trade caught the NFL world off-guard,

Opening comments:
General Manager John Lynch: "Hey everybody. Look, we thought it'd be appropriate to start, there's one thing different here for us. Our first press conference without one [Philadelphia Eagles senior vice president of communications] Bob Lange here with us. On behalf of [head coach] Kyle [Shanahan] and our entire organization, just wanted to thank Bob. Bob had a unique opportunity to go home, be provided for him and
