Safety Dashon Goldson's flattening of Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Early Doucet was a legal hit, the NFL confirmed Friday.
Goldson was not penalized during the game, and the NFL announced he would not be fined, either. That outcome did not come as a surprise to 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh or Goldson.
"Vince Lombardi would be proud," Harbaugh said Monday night after the 49ers' 24-3 victory over the Cardinals.

According to the Pro Football Post's Joe Fortenbaugh, 29 teams have gone from a sub-.500 record to an above-.500 record over the past 10 years. In 26 of those cases...

High and tight Juan…
Somehow Vernon Davis is still a top 5 TE in fantasy. After starting the season on fire with 4 TDs in the first 3 games, he has only 6 fantasy points in the last 3 games combined. I still think the 49ers will get this figured out and Davis is a nice buy low candidate.
