(AP) — After his fifth straight 100-yard game, a San Francisco 49ers fran- chise record, Frank Gore donned a dark green mili- tary-style jacket, green cargo pants and designer jewel-encrusted dog tags. ''They were a pretty tough defense, so I told myself I'm going to wear this — because I felt I was going to come out hunting on Sunday,'' Gore said. ''It's my hunting outfit.'' Gore had 107 yards on 19 yards in San Francis- co's 19-11 win Sunday over the Washington Red- skins. The 49ers' sixth straight win leaves intact their commanding lead in the NFC West. ''It was a tough 100. It was a consummate team 100,'' coach Jim Har- baugh said. ''Not running out of bounds, getting every yard he could get.'' Alex Smith found rookie fullback Bruce Miller for the seventh- round draft pick's first career touchdown, and David Akers kicked four field goals for the 49ers (7-1). San Francisco's points-stingy defense forced three turnovers and didn't allow a touchdown until the final minutes. The 49ers have their longest winning streak since 1997 and are 4-0 on the road for the first time since 1992 — with all four coming on those 1 p.m. Eastern time zone kickoffs which are sup- posed to drag down West Coast teams. The club arrived in the Washington area on Fri- day and spent the extra day watching the chang- ing of the guard at Arling- ton National Cemetery. The fact that Gore picked out a military getup for the game was coincidence, but the play- ers said the outing was another example of team bonding for a franchise trying to end an eight- year stretch without a playoff berth. It's a chemistry espe- cially felt by ex-Redskins cornerback Carlos Rogers, who watched sev- eral fast starts flame out during his six seasons in Washington and has some bragging rights after his victorious return to the nation's capital. ''Different team, dif- MCT photo 49ers running back Frank Gore runs for yardage against the Redskins during the first half at FedEx Field in Landover, MD, Sunday. ferent organization,'' said Rogers, part of a defen- sive effort that allowed only 187 yards through the first three quarters. ''It's different from the top down. That's all I can tell by. Once you've got 1B Monday November 7, 2011 Gore leads 49ers past Redskins 19-11 that, everybody together collected as a team, it's not about this head coach's way and there's no way. It's not about this owner's way or no way. It's not about the star players on our team trying to get their way.'' The fourth straight loss by Rogers' former team was another episode in offensive futility. After being shut out by Buffalo the previous week, Washington (3-5) got its only points on Gra- ham Gano's franchise- record 59-yard field goal on the last play of the first half and a touchdown pass to Jabar Gaffney with 1:10 remaining. ''Right now, you take a look at the offense, it's tough to take,'' coach Mike Shanahan said. ''Tough to take for me.'' Shanahan tried to shake things up by giv- ing debut starts to three rookies — running back Roy Helu, receiver Leonard Hankerson and left guard Maurice Hurt — and he made numer- ous references to the injuries that have forced constant shuffling of the lineup. Broncos run past Raiders 38-24; McGahee runs 163 OAKLAND (AP) — If the Denver Broncos can keep running the ball like this, they won't need to rely much on Tim Tebow's arm to win games. Eddie Royal returned a punt 85 yards for the tiebreaking score, Willis McGahee ran for 163 yards and Tebow threw two touchdown passes to lead the Denver Broncos to a 38-24 victory over the Oak- land Raiders on Sunday. McGahee had a 60-yard touch- down run that tied the game on the first play after Carson Palmer threw his second interception for the Raiders (4-4) and then added a 24-yarder to ice it in the closing minutes. The Broncos (3-5) didn't allow the Raiders' offense to generate anything in the fourth quarter and won for the second time in three games with Tebow as the starter. Tebow did much of his damage with his legs, rushing for a career- high 117 yards on 12 carries on many of the same type of option keepers that made him so success- ful in college. But he did enough damage with his arm to keep the Raiders honest, throwing touch- downs to Eric Decker and Royal. Tebow finished 10 for 21 for 124 yards, but didn't need to do much on a day Denver ran for 298 yards — its highest total since a 300-yard game against Seattle in 2000 and the Broncos' most ever against the Raiders. Palmer looked much better in his first start with the Raiders than in his debut two weeks ago in a relief effort against Kansas City when he threw three second-half interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown in a 28- 0 loss five days after he joined the team. With a bye week and this past week to get acclimated to his new team, Palmer showed why Oak- land dealt a 2012 first-round draft pick and a conditional 2013 sec- ond-rounder to Cincinnati to acquire Palmer after starter Jason Campbell broke his collarbone. Palmer was 18 for 34 for 312 yards with three touchdowns. But he threw three more interceptions, including one that provided a sud- den change of momentum in the closing seconds of the third quar- ter. Stewart wins at Texas D-II Football Bracket FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Tony Stewart figures he has no need to issue any more verbal jabs in what has become quite a fight for the Cup title. Stewart raced to his second consecutive victory, and won for the fourth time in eight NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup races, finishing just ahead of points leader Carl Edwards in the so-called ''Texas Title Fight'' that fully lived up to its billing Sun- day. ''I'm pretty sure what we did on the race track said everything we needed to tell him today. I don't know how you top that,'' Stewart said. ''The funny thing, I don't feel like I have to say anything. I feel like I've already got it done.'' After winning last week at Martinsville, Stewart got out of his car in Victory Lane and said Edwards ''better be worried. That's all I'm saying.'' Now it appears to be a two-driver fight for the championship with two races left after they finished 1-2 at the 1 1/2-mile, high- banked Texas track. Stewart has his focus set on winning a third Cup championship, and becom- ing the first person not named Jimmie Johnson to win the title since 2005 — when Stewart won while driving for Joe Gibbs Racing before becoming a driver-owner. ''I mean we are set on it, man,'' Stewart said. ''This is just the way it's going to be.'' Stewart cut his points deficit from eight to three with an average speed of 152.705 mph, the fastest Cup race at Texas, and a 1.092-second margin over Edwards, the Roush Fenway driver going for his first championship. ''He's calmed down a little bit this week. It didn't slow him down any,'' MCT photo Tony Stewart wins the AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway, Sunday. said Edwards, the points leader for the fifth straight week. ''I hope this roll doesn't last much longer, otherwise this is going to be really tough.'' The series returns next week to Phoenix, where the track has been reconfigured and resurfaced since Stewart was seventh and Edwards 28th there in February in the second race this season, and then to Homestead- Miami Speedway for the finale. Edwards won both races at the end of last season. Stewart led seven times for a race-high 173 of 334 laps, and more importantly stayed ahead of Edwards down the stretch. On a restart with 60 laps to go after the second caution in a matter of laps, Edwards was the leader and on the inside of Stewart. Coming out of Turn 2, Stewart shot by onto the backstretch and charged back to the lead. ''He timed it just right,'' said Edwards, who led three times for 14 laps. Stewart stayed in front until both made final stops with 31 laps left. Though they dropped out of the 1-2 spots on the track during the cycle of green-flag stops, Stewart stayed ahead of Edwards.

Shasta beat the Lady Spartans 18-25, 25-15, 15-9 at the Red Bluff Invita- tional on Sept. 17. On Oct. 13 Shasta swept Red Bluff 25-13, 25- 11, 25-19 in league play. Scouting Report Both teams were knocked out of the playoffs in the semifi- nals last year. Red Bluff didn't reach the section championship a year ago after reaching every year from 2007-2009. Shasta hasn't been to a section championship since 1999. The Wolves' offense is staged by setter Alyssa Petersen and she has plenty of options to go to. Coleen Coleman, Marissa Kuntz, Lana Brown and Shelby Woodard all average more than a kill per game. Brown is a threat at the net on defense and Franki Petraitis is the defensive specialist. Red Bluff has been led all year by Riley Kittle. April Allwardt, Jessica Macdonald and Bayli Johnson will need strong games at the net for Red Bluff. Kaitlann Weber is the team's setter and Megan McColpin is the libero. Kalynne Schoelen, Maggie Hansen and Shelby McKinstry supply more attacking options for Red Bluff and Savannah Frantz adds depth.
