49ers roll past Rams

ST. LOUIS — After getting only 11 carries last week, Frank Gore never made a public stink about it. Coach Jim Harbaugh noted he wasn’t the only unhappy player after the San Francisco 49ers lost their second straight game.

But Gore’s touches went way up, and yards, too. And the offense kicked into gear in a 35-11 rout of the St. Louis Rams on Thursday night.

“I didn’t say nothing. I just want to win,” Gore said. “The 49ers are all about winning. Whether it’s running or throwing, that’s all we’re worrying about is winning.”

Gore’s first 100-yard game of the year more than doubled his output from the first three games. It helped the 49ers put their foot down without some of their biggest stars.

Colin Kaepernick threw two touchdown passes and the defense stepped up, too.

“We know the talent we have on this team,” Kaepernick said.

Anquan Boldin had five catches for 90 yards and a touchdown, and Gore had 153 yards on 20 carries and a 34-yard score for San Francisco (2-2).
