As Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers locked horns for an NFC West Showdown in Week 4, Super Bowl hopes are high for 49ers fans as the game ended with a dramatic 36-15 score. Despite starting off with two Arizona penalties, the 49ers squad slid into a one-yard, impressive touchdown from Christian McCaffrey.
Well, the offense was on fire with 7.6 yards per play, a statistic that should certainly make Coach Kyle Shanahan proud. And then, it was none other than the 23-year-old QB Brock Purdy, who ensured that the 49ers enjoyed a series of explosive plays.
