The San Francisco 49ers will welcome the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday for a Week 5 matchup that could have significant consequences for the NFC West standings.
The Cardinals have struggled in the early part of the season, holding a 1-3 record following a substantial 28-point defeat to the Washington Commanders last Sunday. Despite showing promise with a dominant victory over the Los Angeles Rams, where they amassed nearly 500 total yards, their defensive issues have overshadowed quarterback Kyler Murray’s solid performance. So far, Arizona has succumbed to 586 rushing yards and eight touchdowns against them.
Conversely, the 49ers are coming off a convincing 30-13 win against the New England Patriots and are looking to gain a strong foothold in the division. With two close losses, San Francisco currently stands at 2-2, yet they have managed to cope with Christian McCaffrey’s injury absence without losing momentum, maintaining a position in the top 10 for both passing and rushing offense. However, turnovers have become a concern, with the team giving the ball away five times in the last three games.
