The Arizona Cardinals finally showed up today with their 1st complete game in getting the Divisional win at home over the Niners. 26 - 21 Arizona moves to 7 - 4 and the Niners drop to 8 - 2 but still sit atop the division. Arizona fell behind early going down 21 - 7 at the half. A late pick by San Fran before the half turned into a 14pt swing as the Cards were driving to tie the game but Murray continues to struggle. The defense picked it up in the 2nd half and pitched a shut out by coming up with some much needed picks of their own. Tre Lance still ended up with 324 yards passing but the 2 interceptions proved costly. The big play came on a 4th and 1 with the clock running and the Niners driving for the win. Some tuff defense on 1st, 2nd and 3rd down set up the game ending play as the Cardinals stuffed the run and took over on downs. Three run plays later saw a punt with 14 seconds left in the game. The Niners couldn't make any magic happen and a 2nd Int by Jalen Thompson sealed the Win. CARDS on the outside looking in to the playoffs as at 7 - 4 they are now in last place in the division. The final 6 games are must have as another loss will more than likely have them on the sidelines wondering what could have been. Murray promised to do better but it's a wait and see.
