gridlore49ers coach Jim Harbaugh pulled off one of the best damned trick plays I've ever seen in forty years of watching football.
After an unsuccessful third-down play, most of the offense ran off the field while the kicking unit came on for a field goal try. Except wide receiver Michael Crabtree stopped just short of the sideline, and turned around and looked for all the world like he was just watching the play like everyone else. Hijinks ensued.
The Niners finish the season an astonishing 13-3, and have secured a first-round bye in the playoffs.
