The San Francisco 49ers prevented the Arizona Cardinals from clinching their second successive NFC West divisional title yesterday with a surprising 24-9 victory.
The Cardinals needed a win to clinch the division crown, but the 49ers forced seven turnovers and quarterback Alex Smith produced two touchdown passes for San Francisco, who kept alive their own slim playoff chances.
