SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2 (UPI) -- Alex Smith passed for two scores and Brian Westbrook rushed for two more Sunday, propelling the San Francisco 49ers to a 38-7 rout of Arizona.

San Francisco erupted for a 21-point third quarter to ice the game.
The Cardinals (5-11), meanwhile, used both rookie John Skelton and Richard Bartel behind center.

Bartel came in at the end of the third quarter and tossed for 92 yards with an interception that Tarell Brown ran back 62 yards for a touchdown.
