Football: Davis goes for NFL TDs record by tight end

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) - Vernon Davis knows that regardless of whether he catches another touchdown pass in San Francisco's season finale Sunday to tie an NFL record, he has produced a year to remember. A breakout season to say the least.


He's a Pro Bowler for the first time in his career, a month shy of his 26th birthday. And he will be a starter for the NFC squad in the Jan. 31 game at Miami.


With 12 TD receptions, Davis is one away from tying Antonio Gates' NFL record by a tight end. It would seem he should get some chances to do it Sunday at St. Louis.


Davis scored one touchdown in the season's first meeting with the Rams, a 35-0 victory by the 49ers back on Oct. 4 at Candlestick Park.
