not our best game on offense, the sign of a good team is winning a ball game when you dont have your "A" game... today the niners did that. i know the cards are havin a down year, but any given sunday, the worst team can beat the best team.

im gonna be completely honest, when the season started i was thinkin 9-7 was gonna be a good record for us, this team is for real. we aint lookin at a division championship and bein happy. this squad is a legit super bowl contender...

49ers never blitzed Cardinals

The 49ers used a very similar defensive strategy Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals that defensive coordinator Vic Fangio devised against the Detroit Lions' Matthew Stafford earlier this season.

Not once in the 49ers' 23-7 victory over the Cardinals on Sunday did the 49ers send more than four pass-rushers at quarterbacks John Skelton or Richard Bartel.

The 49ers recorded just two sacks -- coming from Ahmad Brooks and Aldon Smith -- but they mixed up their coverages and came up with three interceptions.

Combined, the Cardinals quarterbacks completed just 14 of 35 passes for 164 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions. That's a passer rating of 28.6.

So of those 37 pass plays, here's how the 49ers' pass rush looked:

Three-man rush: 6
Four-man rush: 31

And here's who rushed the passer (note, whenever they brought a linebacker or defensive back, the 49ers had linemen drop into coverage):

Justin Smith: 36
Ray McDonald: 36
Aldon Smith: 25
Ahmad Brooks: 23
Isaac Sopoaga: 8
Parys Haralson 8
Patrick Willis: 3
Demarcus Dobbs: 1
Carlos Rogers: 1
Tarell Brown: 1
