SAN FRANCISCO -- Kicker David Akers set the 49ers' single-season points mark with his second-quarter field goal against the Steelers Monday night.

He broke the mark set by Hall of Famer Jerry Rice in 1987. Akers stands alone in the team record books with 141 points scored in 2011.

Akers leads the NFL with 44 field-goal attempts. He has made 38 to set a single-season franchise record.

Akers is two field goals away from tying Neil Rackers for the most ever in one season.

Rice registered 138 points on 23 touchdowns in 1987, breaking kicker Ray Wersching's record of 131 points from the 1984 season.
