San Francisco did some trash talking prior to last week's game as well.
Some of the 49ers, perhaps flush from their upset victory over St. Louis last week, had talked a little trash about Owens in the days leading up to Sunday's game. One of the more vocal detractors was middle linebacker Derek Smith, formerly of the Redskins, who said, "I don't think he buys into anything but his own thing" and that "I'd love to get a shot at him."Philadelphia won 42-3, and Owens caught a touchdown pass on the third play of the game on a 68 yard pass. Owens had five catches for 143 yards and two touchdowns.
