The Seahawks braced for another rampage from Frank Gore. Instead, they got a career passing day from Alex Smith, the 49ers' new spread offense -- and a gift win. "It's a load off when they take care of one of our problems for us. It was ... beautiful," Seattle rookie outside linebacker Aaron Curry said, beaming that the same Gore who had romped over the Seahawks for 202 yards three...  

Safety Deon Grant said the Seahawks defense is finally playing the way he thought it would. "The defense that I promised a lot of people before the season started, we're finally getting it together," he said. "We've just got to keep on going and keep building off of that."

Put a game on the line with one swing of his leg, send 11 men charging after him, throw in some wind -- and Olindo Mare stays eerily unflappable. Not to mention accurate. Yet ask the accomplished 36-year-old kicker who is carrying a Seahawks record of 18 consecutive made field goals into Sunday's game at Houston about having to fight for his job this summer with an unproven kid?

These teams enter Sunday's game with 5-7 records and similar disappointment at being all but out of the playoff hunt with four games to go. They each need a victory to extend their chance of finishing with a winning record, and they'll both have...  

Seattle first-round pick Aaron Curry was injured late in the fourth quarter against the Houston Texans on Sunday.
