Lions Woes Continue SAN FRANCISCO, CA (Associated Press) -

Mike Martz's new offense methodically chewed up his former team's defense in San Francisco's 31-13 victory over the Lions today.

Frank Gore rushed for 130 yards and a touchdown for the 49ers, who improved to 2-and-1. Isaac Bruce and Delanie Walker caught TD passes from one-time Detroit quarterback J.T. O'Sullivan.

Detroit heads into its bye week with its fourth 0-3 start in eight years -- no surprise for a team with seven straight losing seasons and the NFL's worst record over the past eight years.

Rudi Johnson rushed for 84 yards and turned a short catch into a late 34-yard TD for the Lions -- who fell behind 21-3 after facing a 21-0 hole in both of their first two games.

Jon Kitna passed for 146 yards on his 36th birthday for Detroit.
