The San Francisco 49ers are set to face the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday in a crucial Week 5 matchup that could significantly affect the NFC West standings.
Arizona’s season has not unfolded as hoped, as the team holds a 1-3 record following a heavy 28-point defeat against the Washington Commanders last weekend. Despite showing promise with a dominant performance against the Los Angeles Rams, where they amassed nearly 500 yards of offense, the Cardinals have struggled defensively, allowing 586 rushing yards and eight touchdowns over the first four games. This defensive lapse has overshadowed the strong play of quarterback Kyler Murray.
In contrast, the 49ers are riding a wave of momentum after their impressive 30-13 victory over the New England Patriots. With a 2-2 record and two narrow losses to their name, San Francisco is looking to assert dominance in their division. The team has effectively managed without star running back Christian McCaffrey due to injury, maintaining their place in the top 10 for both passing and rushing offense. However, they need to address recent turnover issues, as they’ve committed five turnovers in their last three games.
Fans can catch the 49ers hosting the Cardinals this Sunday.
