Niners Make NFL History As They Turn Bills Into Buffaloburgers

At San Francisco:

Alex Smith completed 18 of 24 passes for 303 yards and three touchdowns (43 yards to Kyle Williams; 28 yards to Michael Crabtree; 10 yards to Mario Manningham) while Frank Gore carried the ball for 106 yards and a touchdown (one yarder) as the San Francisco 49ers (4-1) scored the last 42 points en route to a 45-3 home annihilation of the Buffalo Bills (2-3).  In the victory, the Niners became the first team in National Football League history to rush AND pass for 300 or more yards in the same game.

Bills Dump Coaching Staff

The bloodletting of NFL head coaches continued on Monday as the Buffalo Bills fired the entire coaching staff. Interim head coach Perry Fewell (also fired) will still interview for the head coaching job. The Bills finished the season on Sunday at 6-10. They have not had a winning season since 2004 and haven't made the playoffs since 2000.

Bills Can Coach

What else can you do when your team is 3-6, have an anemic offense, and, to this point of the season, has the dubious distinction of losing to a band of amateurs sporting Cleveland Browns uniforms?

Defensive coordinator Perry Fewell was named head coach on an interim basis.
