Alex Smith brought the 49ers - and his career? - back from the brink against the Eagles, leading his team to a 24-23 victory in Philadelphia. After falling behind 23-3, Smith kept his composure and played like a seasoned veteran, completing 13 of 17 passes for 201 yards and 2 TDs in the second half. He got plenty of help from his running back, his defense, and Philly's rookie kicker, but Alex played a fine game. Smith finished 21-33 for 291 yards and 2 TDs, with 2 fumbles (one lost). His QB rating for the game was 112.1; through the first four games of the season his rating is 97.7. For his performance under pressure Alex earned the ProUte of the Week Award over some stiff competition. Eric Weddle had 8 tackles, a PDef, and an INT, Sione Pouha had 8 tackles and recovered a fumble, and Steve Smith caught 8 passes for 181 yards.
