SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) -The San Francisco 49ers are playing some of their best defensive football of the past decade, and it's just about the entire unit that's doing it. The team is getting contributions from every area on a defense that has climbed to No. 6 this week in the NFL rankings. It's been largely responsible for a 3-1 start that has the first-place 49ers in early command of the NFC West. Free safety Dashon Goldson says it's all coming together because the players believe in this defense and love to play together.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
