82-SF 34, 93-SD 29

Candlestick Park
After 3 quarters of play the '9ers were clinging to a 27-23 lead thanks to a 52 yard bomb from Joe Montana to Jackie Moore.  Montana would up his lead to 34-23 when he it Dwight Clark in the back of the end zone for a 6 yard TD toss.  The Chargers would get some glimmer of hope when they blocked Jim Miller's punt and Darrien Gordon picked it up and returned it for a 33 yard TD.  SD would get no closer than 6 as the '9ers moved to 4-1, while the Chargers remained without a win at 0-5.  Montana, who's running game has abandoned him, was forced to light up the skies by going 22-29-305-4TD-INT for a 134 QB rating.  Jeff Moore had 138 yards on 6 catches for 2 TD's.  Marion Butts only touched the ball 11 times and did net 58 yards, but still did not see enough action to influence the outcome.  All world LB, Junior Seau had 8 solo tackles for the 0-5 Bolts.
