Making his second start with 49ers, Troy Smith threw for 356 yards in San Francisco’s overtime win against St. Louis. The Rams’ depleted secondary was unable to keep up with the Niners’ offense when Smith was given time to throw.

The Rams did get to Smith for five sacks, but in most cases it was on plays where Smith was looking to be making big plays.
Joe Nedney hit a 29-yard field goal to seal the game in overtime. That kick was set up by a questionable 22-yard pass interference penalty on Rams safety Oshiomogho Atogwe when tight end Delonte Walker collided with him on a route.
It marks the 49ers first victory over a division opponent this year and the team’s second in a row. The Rams meanwhile fall to 4-5, a game behind the Seahawks, who beat the Cardinals 36-18.
