Santa Clara, CA (SportsNetwork. Justin Jones Jersey .com) - Colin Kaepernick threw two touchdown passes to lift San Francisco to a 20-17 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Jim Harbaughs final game as the 49ers head coach. Harbaugh and the 49ers have agreed to part ways following the game, making Harbaugh available to pursue other head coaching opportunities. According to several reports, Harbaugh is expected to replace Brady Hoke as the head coach of his alma mater, Michigan. Its been the time of my life. Theres been a lot of memories, great moments, said Harbaugh. I feel like Im going to be friends for life with anybody who wants to be. I truly love this team. Kaepernick completed 15-of-26 passes for 204 yards and rushed for 63 yards on seven carries. Anquan Boldin and Bruce Miller had a receiving touchdown and Frank Gore carried the ball 25 times for 144 yards for the 49ers (8-8), who ended a four-game skid. Ryan Lindley threw both of his first two career touchdown passes to Michael Floyd and completed 23-of-39 passes for 316 yards with three interceptions for the Cardinals (11-5). Floyd made eight catches for 153 yards Its a loss and no one wants to lose in the NFL, but I think we gained some confidence, said Lindley. We ran the ball a lot better this week. We did a great job of pass protection ... Floyd had a great day. Arizona will return to the playoffs for the first time since 2009 and face the NFC South champion Carolina Panthers on the road in the first round. The Cardinals moved the ball past midfield on their first possession of the second half, but Chris Culliver picked off Lindley. Kaepernick scrambled for a 30-yard pickup and Gore ran 20 yards to the Arizona 31 before the 49ers quarterback took off for 15 more yards and a fresh set of downs. Boldin had a 9-yard touchdown catch called back on 3rd-and-goal due to Marcus Martins chop block. After an Arizona illegal use of hands penalty, Gore ran nine yards and Kaepernick hit Miller in the right corner of the end zone for a 20-17 edge with 25 seconds to play in the third. Arizona got the ball with two minutes remaining. Lindley was sacked for a nine-yard loss by Aaron Lynch and then picked off by Craig Dahl with 1:30 remaining. The Cardinals struck first on their opening drive off a flea flicker as Lindley aired out a pass over the middle to Floyd, who caught the ball in the back of the end zone for a 20-yard score. San Francisco answered right back as Kaepernick hit Boldin in stride and the former Cardinal took it 76 yards down the field for a 7-7 game with 9:24 left in the first quarter. Kaepernick scrambled 19 yards to midfield and completed an 8-yard pass to Michael Crabtree on third down. Phil Dawsons 53-yard field goal made it just over the uprights for a 10-7 lead over three minutes into the second. Lindley fired a 27-yard pass to Floyd, who made a stellar catch to move the Cardinals to the 49ers 24. San Franciscos defense stood tall as Tank Carradine sacked Lindley for an 8-yard loss before Michael Wilhoite intercepted the ball at his teams 25. Following the interception, Kaepernick sent a 35-yard dart to Quinton Patton to move the chains down to the Arizona 18. Dawson was true from 37 yards out for a 13-7 advantage with 6:04 to play in the second. Arizona countered by scoring 10 points with under two minutes to play. Chandler Catanzaro booted a 36-yard field goal to cut the 49ers lead to 13-10 with 1:35 left in the first half. After a quick San Francisco three-and-out, Lindley lofted a 41-yard pass to Floyd, who was hit by at the two-yard line and flew over the pylon for a 17-13 Arizona lead heading into halftime.

On Saturday night, Winnipegs strong offense was again accompanied by some fantastic pitching which gave the Fish a commanding victory. Chargers Jerseys . Today, well look at five frontcourt players today, here from the Bay Area. 1. AMIR JOHNSON (Raptors): I cant figure out what the issue or problem is, but based upon what Im seeing, hes not right. http://www.prochargersteamstore.com/Youth-Kyzir-White-Elite-Jersey/ . City has reached new heights under manager Manuel Pellegrini as they transition from big spending/immediate impact to perennial contender. Yaya Toures seeming discontent Tuesday may complicate that, as does the little issue of Financial Fair Play.ROME - Perhaps Mario Balotellis struggles with Liverpool will have a positive effect on his return to Italys squad.Thats what Azzurri coach Antonio Conte is hoping for after giving Balotelli a surprising call-up for a key European Championship qualifier against Croatia on Sunday.Its the first time Conte has included Balotelli since taking over from Cesare Prandelli after Italys first-round elimination from the World Cup.Maybe its even better that Balotelli is coming in during a rough period, Conte said Monday as Italy began training in Florence. I think hell dedicate himself to the national team.Since transferring from AC Milan, Balotelli has scored only two goals in 14 appearances for Liverpool — and none in the Premier League.Glad to be back on the National Team and proud to represent my country, Balotelli wrote on Facebook.Without Balotelli, Ciro Immobile and Simone Zaza have taken over as the starters in attack under Contes preferred 3-5-2 formation. It remains to be seen if Balotelli will be used as a bench option or possibly replace Zaza.All players are equal. Balotelli, like everyone else, could play if hes in form but he could also end up on the bench or even in the tribune, Conte said. Balotelli has a lot of experience with the national team, having played a World Cup and a European Championship. Thats important but its not enough. Hes going to have to show me he can adapt to my type of football.Others have already shown that. Immobile, Zaza, (Graziano) Pelle and (Sebastian) Giovinco start with an advantage, Conte added. If over the course of a week Balotelli shows me hes reached the level of the others then he could pass in front of them.While Italy has won all four of its matches under Conte, the Azzurri struggled somewhat in ttheir last two games, a 2-1 win over Azerbaijan and a 1-0 victory over Malta. Uchenna Nwosu Chargers Jersey. .Im looking forward to knowing (Balotelli). Its good to have competition, Zaza said. It could help the squad. I knew sooner or later he would be called up. Hes one of the best Italian forwards.Italy and Croatia are level at the top of Group H with nine points each. Two days after Sundays match at the San Siro — where Balotelli formerly played for both Inter and AC Milan — Italy hosts Albania in Genoa for a friendly.Conte said speculation that he had called up Balotelli merely to meet sponsor demands was nonsense.I dont exclude anyone, said the coach who guided Juventus to the last three Serie A titles. Balotelli is playing as a starter for Liverpool. Im forced to call up many players who are not starters for their clubs.Balotelli has scored 13 goals in 33 appearances for Italy, and was instrumental in the Azzurris run to the final of Euro 2012. But after scoring in Italys opening win over England at the World Cup, both he and the rest of Prandellis attack struggled in the next two matches against Costa Rica and Uruguay.Balotelli was the focus of a big portion of the blame for Italys early exit from the tournament in Brazil.Four months ago when he scored against England, you hailed Balotelli as Italys national treasure, Conte said. Four months later, hes being (attacked). I think thats part of the problem. Hes just a normal player.Conte deflected questions over reports in English tabloids focusing on Balotellis late-night partying habits.Im going to evaluate Balotelli for what he does from here on, Conte said. You know my rules and how severe I am. Im not going to waver on that.___Andrew Dampf can be followed at www.twitter.com/asdampf Cheap Chargers Jerseys Cheap Rams Jersey Cheap Dolphins Jerseys Cheap Vikings Jerseys Cheap Patriots Jersey
