We're not looking for anybody outside to come and help us. We know that we're good enough to make things happen. It would be a great story for us to be 4-4 and then win the Su- per Bowl. That's how we're looking at it, every week is win or go home." He is doing his part. Boldin has five or more receptions in eight of San Francisco's 10 games. He has a team-leading 56 catches — 13 more than No. 2 receiver Michael Crabtree — heading into Sunday's home game against Wash- ington (3-7). Those dropped balls fu- eled Boldin even more. Boldin had a big day last November against the Red- skins. Colin Kaepernick threw for 235 yards and three touchdowns, two of those to Boldin in a 27-6 win. "He's at the highest level in all categories: intensity, focus," coach Jim Har- baugh said. "I don't know if there's another rung in the ladder to go, but I felt that before and he has climbed another rung." After the dropped balls, Harbaugh found himself answering ques- tions about San Francis- co's top two targets in a talented receiving corps. He hasn't lost an ounce of faith in the Boldin-Crab- tree combo. Boldin has meant so much to the 49ers on and off the field. Last week, he an- nounced a $1 million en- dowment from him and wife Dionne to his foun- dation for annual college scholarships to high school graduates. For Roman, keeping ev- erybody involved proves a challenge each week, and he wants tight end Vernon Davis to be a bigger part of the offense despite a year in which his numbers are down. Boldin's intense person- ality pushes everybody, on both sides of the ball. "Anquan's such a spe- cial guy. You don't really notice that because he's always at that notch," Ro- man said. "I grabbed him last week and made an analogy about some of that stuff and we chuck- led, because it just never happens. It's not some- thing you would ever see. He's so dependable, such a strong-handed catcher, and that's every single day in practice, from the first day of OTAs through OTAs, into training camp, it's the same." In March, the 49ers signed Boldin to a $12 mil- lion, two-year contract with $9 million guaran- teed to keep Kaepernick's top target around. Fellow wideout Stevie Johnson trusts in Boldin to always make the big play under pressure. "We know Q and we know him to never miss a pass, but at the same time we also know that nobody's perfect and things hap- pen," Johnson said. "Most of the time it goes his way. Q, that's the type of player he is, he's a beast." NOTES: LB NaVorro Bowman, whose 21-day window during which he could be activated opened Tuesday, is scheduled to be examined by a team doctor today, defensive coordina- tor Vic Fangio said. He is not practicing this week. ... Fangio doesn't expect NT Glenn Dorsey to be ready to play Sunday. "Nothing negative has happened," Fangio said. "I think it's kind of where it was last week at this time." Boldin FROM PAGE 1 terms of ideas. The expe- rience in the Arizona Fall League made quite an im- pact on a lot of people." When changes may be implemented at the major league level remains to be seen. Selig said he wants to "push them" and will have more to say on the subject in the next couple months. Owners also spent time discussing the first season of expanded instant re- play, largely considered a success after several calls were overturned during the postseason. The system also slowed games. Given the oppor- tunity to challenge every- thing from force and tag plays to fan interference and home runs, managers often stalled in the mid- dle of the diamond while awaiting word from their dugout whether to contest a call. "I think the core of re- play will be similar," Man- fred said. "I think the changes we're contemplat- ing — without getting into them — are largely tech- nology improvements. ... I think there are also some issues related to exactly how long it takes to get re- play going." MLB Executive Vice President Joe Torre said during a recent meeting of general managers in Phoe- nix that putting a stop to all the lingering would be a priority. "That's one area we'll do something differently," Torre said. "I'm not sure what that is, but certainly we will eliminate some of that standing around be- cause 10 seconds is a long time." Selig also applauded the record-breaking $325 mil- lion, 13-year deal reached by the Miami Marlins and Giancarlo Stanton, calling it the "objective of every- thing we did" in changes to the game's economic model, which included revenue sharing and lux- ury taxes. "What I like is individ- ual franchises making decisions to make them- selves better," Selig said. "I've been reading all the clips, and I do think they're happy in South Florida, and they should be. It's a good sign, a very good sign for them, and that's how you have to look at it." MLB Executive Vice President Dan Halem pro- vided owners with an up- date on a comprehensive domestic violence program that is being developed for players and non-players alike. Domestic violence has become an issue of in- creased importance across professional sports. To underscore that point, Selig announced the Seattle Mariners had re- ceived the Commissioner's Award for Philanthropic Excellence for their "Re- fuse to Abuse" program. The state-wide educational initiative is designed to promote healthy relation- ships in Washington state. "It was really great com- petition. We had three or four clubs, tough deci- sions to make," Selig said. "It's a program that goes around the state of Wash- ington on domestic abuse, and they've been doing it a long time. This isn't some- thing that just happened." Baseball FROM PAGE 1 probably go to the playoffs and do some great things," Carr said. "I can't wait to see my teammates' smiles." The game wasn't sealed until Smith threw an in- complete pass on fourth- and-13 from his 48. Even that didn't come without a tense moment. Khalil Mack and Sio Moore sacked Smith on third down and celebrated in the backfield while the Chiefs ran up to the line. An angry Justin Tuck had to call timeout as he seethed at his younger teammates. The Chiefs battled back from a 17-3 deficit late in the third quarter to take the lead with three scores in less than 8 minutes, in- cluding a pair of touch- down passes from Smith. The first came on a loop- ing throw to Anthony Fa- sano for a 19-yard score with 1:52 remaining in the third quarter. The Raiders managed to move the ball near midfield before stalling on their next drive, and the Chiefs an- swered with a four-play, 65- yard drive that was made even more difficult by a pair of holding penalties. Jamaal Charles beat Charles Woodson out of the backfield to catch a short pass and weaved through Oakland's defense for a 30- yard score that tied it at 17. It was Charles' fifth touch- down catch in his past two games at the Oakland Col- iseum. Frankie Hammond's 28-yard punt return set up Cairo Santos' second field goal of the game, giving the Chiefs their first lead of the night. The Raiders started fast behind the little-used Mur- ray, who had just 10 carries in the first 10 games. He spelled starter Darren Mc- Fadden on the second drive and provided an immedi- ate spark for Oakland's struggling offense before leaving the game with a concussion. Murray carried twice on his first drive, sprinting 11 yards around the end for Oakland's first rushing touchdown since Oct. 19 against Arizona.
