SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Jim Harbaugh, in the signature outfit of khaki slacks and black pullover that has been his uniform the past four years, hustled off the field leading the way all by himself with the game ball cradled in his arms.He gathered his team to announce he was leaving, but didnt tell the players where hes going next. After three straight trips to the NFC championship game and a Super Bowl near miss, Harbaugh and the Niners agreed to part ways following four seasons and the disappointment of a down year that began with Super Bowl hopes.Harbaugh will not fulfil the final season of his $25 million, five-year contract coaching the 49ers that he signed in January 2011. The announcement came after Sundays 20-17 win over the Arizona Cardinals that left the Niners at 8-8.Its been the time of my life, Harbaugh said. Been a lot of great memories, great moments. ... Its been a tremendous four years, its been a pleasure to work and serve for this organization. I feel great about what we accomplished.Before he said his final goodbyes with hugs, handshakes and high-fives — even a greeting from Alex Rodriguez — there was one final Whos got it better than us? No-body!The last, Whos got it better than us? I said it as loud as I could, said wide receiver Michael Crabtree, who could soon follow the San Francisco coachs departure.Colin Kaepernick, the quarterback Harbaugh promoted in November 2012, threw a go-ahead 3-yard touchdown pass to Bruce Miller late in the third quarter and Frank Gore capped another 1,000-yard season with 144 yards on 25 carries.Anquan Boldin caught a 76-yard TD pass and went over 1,000 yards receiving. Gore reached 1,000 yards rushing for the eighth time in 10 NFL seasons with the 49ers. The franchises all-time rushing leader hopes to return to the only team he has known and the team has publicly expressed a mutual interest.Here are some other things we learned from Sundays first-year finale at $1.3 billion Levis Stadium:ARIANS MESSAGE: Coach Bruce Arians was clear to his team: I dont want anybody moping on the plane.The No. 5 seed Cardinals (11-5) missed the franchises first 12-win season and the NFC West title as defending Super Bowl champion Seattle beat St. Louis 20-6 to win the division and the overall top seed.The Cardinals play at Carolina next Saturday, and Arians has been optimistic quarterback Drew Stanton will be back next week from a sprained right knee that got infected.It is about short-term memory right now. What we did before doesnt matter anymore, win or lose, linebacker Kevin Minter said. It is time to just kick it into another gear. This is my first time in the playoffs. I have heard it is a whole other beast.LINDLEYS LESSON: Ryan Lindley finally threw his first touchdown pass on his 229th career attempt with a 20-yard strike to Michael Floyd. He did a lot right Sunday, but made some costly mistakes, too.Lindley completed touchdown passes of 20 and 41 yards to Michael Floyd in the first half, then threw a late interception on a last-ditch drive in the closing minutes.I felt the most comfortable Ive felt out on the field probably since Ive been in the NFL, he said. But theres still a handful of plays that kill you.Floyd finished with eight catches for 153 yards. Arians went with Lindley under centre after he originally planned to start rookie Logan Thomas before changing his mind.GORES GAINS: With his sons and family members in attendance, franchise rushing leader Gore provided a bright spot. He became the 11th player in NFL history with eight 1,000-yard seasons and 20th player to reach 11,000 yards rushing.Its a blessing, Gore said, noting he has been emotional about his future. I just wanted to finish it right. ... I cried today because when I first got here I was 21, 10 years ... Knowing this could be my last game here, its tough because this is all I knew.BOLDINS BIG DAY: Facing his former team, Anquan Boldin caught a 76-yard touchdown pass from Kaepernick in the first quarter for the second-longest catch of his career.Boldin became the fourth player in 49ers franchise history with multiple 1,000-yard receiving seasons, joining Jerry Rice (12), Terrell Owens (5) and John Taylor (2).He also caught a 9-yard touchdown pass that was negated by rookie centre Marcus Martins chop block penalty.SMITHS FINALE?: 49ers defensive end Justin Smith might be done after a 14-year career.Smith wasnt available after the game, but has said recently he would make a decision after the season.Im still going to be upset about the year but Im excited for Justin Smith and any other guy that might not be here next year, linebacker Dan Skuta said. Im excited they got to go out on a win. Might be Justins last game ever.___AP NFL websites: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Discount Air Max .

ATLANTA -- From Washingtons first possession to the decisive play in the final minute, Atlantas defence kept finding ways to get its hands on the ball. One of five rookies to start for the defence made the biggest play of the game. Desmond Trufant deflected Kirk Cousins pass on a potential winning 2-point conversion with 18 seconds remaining, and the Falcons edged the Redskins 27-26 on Sunday. The Falcons (4-10) scored 20 points off seven Washington turnovers. The Redskins (3-11) tied a team record with five lost fumbles. Alfred Morris and Santana Moss each lost two fumbles. "You cant win with turnovers, yet we still had an opportunity to win and that shows you how hard they fought," said Redskins coach Mike Shanahan. "Those guys normally are great with ball security and dont turn it over." Cousins passed for 381 yards and three touchdowns, but had three turnovers in his first start of the season after Shanahan benched Robert Griffin III. Griffin was not in uniform and watched from the sideline. Cousins 3-yard touchdown pass to Moss gave Washington a chance to force overtime by kicking the extra point. Instead, Cousins 2-point pass for Pierre Garcon was deflected by Trufant, who also had an interception. "I was telling myself I had to make some big plays," Trufant said. "I wasnt surprised they went for the win. They had the confidence and we were up for the challenge." Shanahan said his decision to go for 2 was based on the Falcons defensive alignment. He said he would have used his final timeout to send his kicking team on the field if the Falcons didnt have the alignment he wanted for his planned play. "I thought if we had the right defence and the right play, were going to stay with it," Shanahan said. "We thought we did and unfortunately it didnt work out." Shanahan brushed off a question about his job status, saying "Im not going to talk about that." Cousins said he liked the decision to go for 2. "I loved the call to go for 2 there," Cousins said. "I felt like we had them on the ropes. We just didnt do enough to execute, but it starts right here with me." The Falcons recovered an onside kick to seal the win. "It was a game full of dramaa, but Im glad we were able to pull it off," said Atlantas Steven Jackson, who ran for 38 yards and two touchdowns.dddddddddddd Cousins listed his two interceptions, lost fumble and failed 2-point pass as "four plays right there that if they go differently, its probably a much better result." The Falcons started five rookies on defence, including three in the secondary. The Falcons held out safety Thomas DeCoud, who is recovering from a concussion. Rookie safety Zeke Motta made his first start. Rookie offensive tackle Ryan Schraeder also made his first start for Atlanta. Morris had 98 yards rushing on 18 carries, including a 37-yard run. Cousins lost a fumble on the Redskins first possession and set up the Falcons go-ahead touchdown late in the third quarter with his first of two interceptions. The Falcons led 24-20 with less than 6 minutes remaining before Trufants interception set up Matt Bryants 51-yard field goal. The teams combined for six turnovers in the first half, including four turnovers by the Redskins. There were lost fumbles on three straight plays in the second quarter. The Redskins had an excellent scoring opportunity at the Atlanta 18 following a 62-yard pass from Cousins to Aldrick Robinson. On first down from the 18, Morris lost the ball without being hit, and Malliciah Goodman recovered for Atlanta. The Falcons gave the ball back when Matt Ryan fumbled when hit by Ryan Kerrigan.
