Redskins at 49ers(-2.5)

49ers to sport mustaches in throwback game

The 49ers will wear throwback uniforms against Washington at Candlestick Park, and a number of the players will be wearing mustaches. "Today is Mustache Monday," Shaun Hill said a day after the 49ers rallied to beat the Rams 17-16 in St. Louis. "It's for the throwback game. Every day we go to meetings and we go by these beautiful pictures and we admire these guys' mustaches." On facing walls of a hallway just off the locker room in Santa Clara are black and white photos of those 49ers who spent at least 10 years with the club. Some of the greats of the past had mustaches of varying quality, among them Kevin Fagan, Mel Phillips, Roger Craig (a classic caterpillar that thankfully was short-lived), Ray Wersching, Keith Fahnhorst, Jerry Rice (in the form of a goatee), Jimmy Johnson, the late John Ayers and Randy Cross. "Most of us have been working on our mustaches," said Hill, who led the 49ers on two touchdown drives in the final seven minutes to beat the Rams. "I started four weeks ago. How bad is that?" Hill said his offensive linemen instigated the 'staches in honor of their predecessors with an eye toward the throwback game in the finale. -- SF Chronicle
