300 yards passing + 300 yards rushing = something never seen before in a single NFL game. Until Sunday that is, when Jim Harbaugh's squad demolished the Bills 45-3. An Alex Smith-led offense set the 49ers record for most yards in a single game: 621. Its more than Y.A. Tittle, Joe Montana or Steve Young ever amassed. A Harbaugh team has more yards than any Bill Walsh team.
With the 34-0 beatdown of the Jets the week before, the 49ers have now outscored opponents 79-3 in two weeks. The staunch defense has outscored those two opponents by itself - 1 Rogers INT TD vs just 1 FG allowed. Meanwhile the offense has scored 9 TDs - 6 rushing and 3 passing.

Players contributing to the 621 yard record (only bold adds up):
Alex Smith - 303 yards passing on 18-24 completions for 3 TDs. Surprisingly, its just his third 300 yard passing day in his 8 year, 71 game (as starter) career. Not surprisingly, of those three 300 yard games, this is the first that he's won. He also rushed for 49 yards on 3 carries. This season, he leads the league in passer rating at 108.7 and Total QBR at 81.9. Impressive stuff.
Michael Crabtree - 113 yards receiving on 6 catches and 1 TD (28 yarder).
Frank Gore - 106 yards rushing on 14 carries and 1 TD (1 yard).
Vernon Davis - 106 yards on 5 catches. His longest was a 53 yarder.
Kendall Hunter - 81 yards rushing on 11 carries.
Kyle Williams - 50 yards receiving on 2 catches and 1 TD (43 yarder), 6 rushing yards on 1 rush.
Colin Kaepernick - 39 yards rushing on 4 carries, 1 TD (16 yarder); 7 yards passing on 1 pass.
Mario Manningham - 26 yards receiving on 4 catches, 1 TD (10 yarder).
Anthony Dixon - 21 yards rushing on 4 carries, 1 TD (3 yarder)
Randy Moss - 11 yards receiving on 1 catch.
Bruce Miller - 9 yards rushing on 1 rush.
Greg Celek - 4 yards receiving on 1 catch.
