(AP) — On an almost perfect Monday night for Alex Smith, the San Francisco 49ers flexed their NFC West domi- nance with a 24-3 flat- tening of the Arizona Cardinals. Smith completed 18 of 19 passes for 232 yards and three touch- downs — two to Michael Crabtree and one to Randy Moss — to help San Francisco (6-2) open a two-game lead in the division and send Arizona (4-4) to its fourth straight lost. Smith's only incom- pletion was dropped by a wide-open receiver. Smith was 14 of 15 for 146 yards and two touchdowns, both to Crabtree, as the 49ers built a 17-0 halftime lead. he tied Terrell Owens for fourth on the NFL career touchdown list with 156. Moss caught a 47- yard TD pass, dodging tacklers down the side- line on a play that seemed to turn back the clock to the receiver's prime. With the catch, Smith, who tied a career high with the three touchdown passes, spread out his comple- tions to 10 receivers. Crabtree led the way with five catches for 72 yards. Arizona's defense, supposed to be the team's strength, missed tackle after tackle in an embarrassing nationally televised performance at home. The 24 points were the most allowed by the Cardinals this season. Led by Smith's near- perfect precision pass- ing, the 49ers methodi- cally dominated from the start.
