Cardinals vs 49ers Preview
The San Francisco 49ers (8-1) will look to get back on track after suffering their first loss of the season when they take on their NFC West foe, the Arizona Cardinals (3-6-1) for the second time in three weeks on Sunday.
The 49ers are coming off of a short week after losing to the Seattle Seahawks in an overtime thriller, 27-24, this past Monday night.
The highly-anticipated duel lived up to the hype and then some, with the game coming down to the final play in OT – a 42-yard game-winning field goal by the Seahawks’ Jason Myers as time expired.
The defenses were the stars of the show, forcing three turnovers apiece and each scoring a touchdown.
The 49ers were locked down by the Seahawks’ defense for the majority of the game. San Francisco’s running game was held to a season-low 87 yards on the ground, with an average of just 3.2 yards per carry.
49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo completed 24 of 48 passes for 248 yards, one TD and one INT in the loss. San Francisco was down their top two receiving threats for most of the contest, as WR Emmanuel Sanders was forced to leave in the first quarter with injured ribs and TE George Kittle missed the game due to an injury.
Despite the offensive struggles, the 49ers had their opportunities to take the game on Monday night.
Chase McLaughlin, who was signed earlier in the week after the 49ers’ starting kicker Robbie Gould went down with a quadriceps injury, missed a would-be game-winning 47-yard field goal in overtime. McLaughlin had made three field goals in regulation, including a 47-yard bomb with one second left in the fourth quarter to send the game to OT.
Meanwhile, after righting the ship this season behind rookie QB Kyler Murray and first-year head coach Kliff Kingsbury, the Cardinals have come crashing back to Earth, having lost their last three games.
Arizona gave up a 92-yard go-ahead touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter last week and fell to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road, 30-27.
Murray, who was drafted first overall by the Cardinals, had his NFL rookie record of consecutive passes thrown without an interception (211) snapped in the fourth quarter. It was his first INT since Sept. 29.
The 22-year-old Murray did throw for 324 yards and three touchdowns. All three TD passes were caught by WR Christian Kirk.
If the Cardinals are going to contend on the road against the first-place 49ers on Sunday, they are going to have to tighten things up on defense.
Arizona’s defense ranks 31st out of 32 teams in points allowed (281), having given up at least 21 points in all ten games this season.
Sunday’s game will be the second meeting of the two NFC West rivals in the last three weeks.
The 49ers edged by the Cardinals 28-25 on the road on Halloween night.
The Cardinals kept it close throughout but couldn’t overcome one of the best games of Garoppolo’s career, as the 49ers QB threw for 317 yards and four TDs.
