This game is officially a dumb game. Let's recap recent events! Darren Sproles received a punt after a San Fransisco 49ers drive went absolutely nowhere. Without being stripped, he quite literally dropped the ball and the Niners recovered. The Niners then proceeded to -- once again -- do nothing with the drive. Sproles fumbled the punt at his own 25-yard line so the 49ers had a chance to kick a field goal. David Akers made it because he is good, and his team now leads 20-14.
