The late, great 49ers defense finally showed up.
You know, the 49ers defense that was supposed to knock over offenses, steal the football and unleash hell.
The 49ers defense of Patrick Willis, Justin Smith, Parys Haralson, Dashon Goldson and other swarming playmakers.
The 49ers defense that expected to sweep through the NFC West in 2009 (and didn't).
During Monday night's 24-9 throttling of Arizona, while the 49ers offense meandered a bit, their defense was everywhere, doing everything, looking like it had the talent and will to take the team to the playoffs by itself.
Where was that all season?
"We just wanted to go out and prove to ourselves that we could do it," said linebacker Ahmad Brooks, who had three sacks and two of the 49ers' team-record five forced fumbles.
"We need a little help (to make the playoffs), but we still believe we can make it."
It's probably too late for that. To beat out Arizona (8-5) in the West, the 49ers (6-7) have to win their final three games and still need the Cardinals to lose twice. Unlikely.
But the 49ers' defensive feeding frenzy on Monday was a large national-TV message to themselves and the rest of the league.
They have established talent (Willis, Smith) and emerging (free safety Goldson was, by far, the best player on the field Monday).
