Alex Smith stepped into the fire in the middle of the 2009 season, and almost rescued the San Francisco 49ers from a loss to the Houston Texans. He threw three second-half touchdowns (all to Vernon Davis), and proceeded to throw 15 more scores down the stretch, while keeping the 49ers in the wild card playoff hunt until the final weeks.
