SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -Linebacker Gerald Hayes, the Arizona Cardinals' leading tackler, missed their game in San Francisco on Sunday with injured ribs. Hayes has 111 tackles while starting every game at middle linebacker. He was questionable on Arizona's injury report during the week, and Monty Beisel started in Hayes' place. Bryan Gilmore started for San Francisco in place of receiver Antonio Bryant, who began his four-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy.Copyright © 2005 T |

While the 49ers (6-8) do battle with the Arizona Cardinals (4-10) at Monster Park, the NFC West-leading Seattle Seahawks (8-6) will be entertaining the San Diego Chargers (12-2) roughly 800 miles to the north. A victory for the Niners coupled with a loss for the Seahawks will give Week 17 definite playoff m |

Bryan Gilmore, who has just seven catches in his first season as the 49ers' No. 3 receiver, will replace Bryant in the starting lineup Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -When the Arizona Cardinals opened a gorgeous new stadium and a much-anticipated season, the San Francisco 49ers were the perfect patsies. Nearly four months later, the Cardinals will return the visit - and the 49ers hope they'll return the favor. Rumors ran wild last September that the Cardinals requested a season-opening visit from the 49ers to give them the best possible chance to christen their new suburban Phoenix palace with a victory. Though the stories apparently weren't true, t |

The 49ers, meanwhile, will be welcoming the 4-10 Arizona Cardinals to town. If the oddsmakers are right, the Seahawks will go into the final week of the season at 8-7, and the 49ers 7-8. The following week, the Seahawks get to play Tampa Bay, currently 3-11. But that game is on the road, meaning Seattle might be fo |
