A Bright Sunday


Sunday morning brought more than sun ray filled sky’s to the city of San Francisco. It also brought the 49ers offensive line, which help aid Frank Gore, the 49ers starting running back, gain 207 yards on sixteen carries and two touchdowns and ultimately ending in a victory for him and his teammates.
For the first time, in the 2009 NFL season, the 49ers played their first home game. The team was coming off a victory versus the Arizona Cardinals, which took place last Sunday. The team was hoping to carry over their focus and intensity, which they brought to the field last weekend, in order to pursue a victory over the Seattle Seahawks. They did just that.
Roars filled the air, as the 49er starters were sent dashing out of a Candlestick tunnel. This was immediately followed by two Air Force jet airplanes that wisped by, above 69,732 eager fans heads.
The 49ers started the first quarter by kicking off to the Seattle Seahawks. The strong, knowledgeable 9er defense stopped the Seattle offense, resulting in a Seahawk punt. They then went on an eight minuet and seven second rant, which resulted in a 37 yard field goal. This made it a 3-0 lead by the 49ers. They then followed that up with a beautiful Frank Gore 79 yard touchdown run to end the first quarter, with the 9ers leading 10-0.
Although the 49ers would score 3 points in the second quarter, Seattle answered back. They kicked one 36 yards and scored a touchdown, on a pass, just before the clock died down to end the quarter. This sent both teams into the locker room for halftime, in which Coach Mike Singletary boosted the teams’ moral.
The third quarter started off with a kick off, from Seattle, which was booted into the end zone, resulting in a touch back. The 49ers then, wisely, called a play for their veteran tailback and team inspiration, Frank Gore. Gore then took the defense on a track race, when he busted through the 3 hole and ran in a 80 yard touchdown. The 49ers defense held down the third quarter, holding the Seahawks to 0 points, making the score at the end of the third quarter 20-10, 49ers.
The fourth quarter continued to bring smiles to 49er fans. Their Defensive Backs continued to play great, as the 9er defense didn’t allow any more Seattle points and little offensive completions. Meanwhile, the 49ers offense continued to dominate. They finished the fourth quarter with a 16 possession, 9 minute and 27 second drive down the field, resulting in a field goal. The final outcome of the game resulted in a 23-10 point victory for the 49ers, over the Seattle Seahawks.
