While the New York Jets look as though they’re coming apart at
the seams, the San Francisco 49ers are getting it together for coach Mike
Singletary.
Shaun Hill passed for 285 yards and two touchdowns against New York’s porous
secondary, and the 49ers sent the AFC East-leading Jets to their second straight
embarrassing loss, 24-14 Sunday.
Joe Nedney kicked a 32-yard tiebreaking field goal early in the fourth quarter
and Bryant Johnson made a diving 3-yard TD catch with 6:05 left for the suddenly
solid 49ers (5-8), who have won three of four.
San Francisco beat an AFC East team with a winning record for the second
straight week, knocking the Jets (8-5) into a tie atop the division with the
Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots, who both won Sunday.
Frank Gore caught a short TD pass and rushed for 52 yards before injuring his
left ankle early in the second half for the Niners, who improved to 3-3 under
Singletary. The interim coach is making a compelling case for the permanent job,
sparking a franchise still headed to its sixth straight non-winning season...

Preview:
The New York Jets
appeared to be clicking after
back-to-back emotional victories
gave them their longest win
streak in more than four years.
A letdown last week, however,
has left the door wide open in
the AFC East. After missing an
opportunity to truly take
control of the division, the
Jets look to re-establish
momentum and maintain their hold
on first place when they visit
the San Francisco 49ers on
Sunday. New York (8-4) entered
last week on a five-game win
streak, its longest since
opening the 2004 season with
five straight victories...
Prediction: Prior to a 10-3
win in Buffalo, the 49ers surrendered 80 points in their previous three games.
Brett Favre has his eyes on a playoff spot so expect that scoring problem to
reemerge this week Jets 34 - 49ers 17
