NFL: San Diego 26, San Francisco 7
Posted on: Saturday, 5 September 2009, 02:04 CDT
Billy Volek threw an early touchdown pass and Nate Keading kicked four field goals Friday in San Diego's 26-7 exhibition victory over San Francisco.
It marked the 65th and final game of the NFL's exhibition campaign. The regular season begins Thursday when the defending Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers host Tennessee.
Volek led San Diego on a 58-yard march on the game's first possession, capped by a 39-yard scoring pass to Kassim Osgood.
The only other San Diego touchdown came on a 15-yard throw from Charlie Whitehurst to Kory Sperry in the fourth quarter.
Shaun Hill, named San Francisco's starting quarterback midway through the exhibition season, went 3-of-4 for 20 yards while playing just one series. Regular San Diego starter Philip Rivers did not play.
San Francisco (3-1) failed in its bid for a perfect exhibition record. The 49ers will start their season at 2008 NFC champion Arizona. San Diego (2-2) will play its opener at Oakland.
Miami, Baltimore and Seattle were the only unbeaten teams during the preseason. Arizona, Kansas City and Carolina lost all their games.
