SAN FRANCISCO - Frank Gore rushed for 130 yards and a touchdown, and Mike Martz's new offense methodically chewed up his former team's defense in the San Francisco 49ers' win against the Detroit Lions.
Isaac Bruce and Delanie Walker caught TD passes from J.T. O'Sullivan, and Allen Rossum rushed for a 1-yard TD on fourth down to all but clinch the win for the 49ers, who are 2-1 for the second straight season.
