Alex Smith threw crisp passes all afternoon. San Francisco's defense got to the quarterback and forced fumbles. The 49ers finally produced the kind of mistake-free performance on both sides of the ball coach Mike Singletary has been waiting to see from his team.

Smith completed short touchdown passes to Frank Gore and Vernon Davis in his best game yet this season, highlighting an all-around sound day for San Francisco in a 20-3 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

For a team that began the season with plans of being defined by the run, the 49ers are suddenly opening things up with Smith behind center. Five receivers had four or more catches.
