49ers likely wrap up victory

That should do it.

The 49ers grabbed a 27-12 lead on a 23-yard touchdown pass from Alex Smith to Vernon Davis with 3:11 remaining.

It’s not quite over, but it would take a lot of magic for Matthew Stafford to complete this comeback.

San Francisco converted three third downs of seven yards or longer along the touchdown drive, and Michael Crabtree had three catches for 34 yards.
