Frank Gore rushed for 83 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries, while Alex Smith threw for 179 yards on 14-of-26 passing for the 49ers (12-3), who have the NFC West crown locked up and can clinch the No. 2 seed and an opening-round bye if the New Orleans Saints fall to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday. Marshawn Lynch finished with 107 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries. It was the first rushing touchdown the 49ers have given up this season and the first 100-yard rushing game they have allowed in their past 36 contests. Tarvaris Jackson ended with 163 yards and a score on 15-of-28 passing, while Doug Baldwin caught a touchdown pass for the Seahawks, (7-8) who had their three-game winning streak halted.
