Match-Up & Game Preview
This is a classic NFC West divisional clash. The 49ers (currently 6-4) are vying for positioning in the playoff race, while the Cardinals (3-6) are fighting to salvage pride and rebuild momentum.
For San Francisco, having Brock Purdy back is huge — his presence gives the offense more structure and scoring potential than the backup arrangement. On defense, the 49ers will look to exploit Arizona’s weakened line and secondary.
For Arizona, the absence of Marvin Harrison Jr. is a blow to their offense, and the extensive injury list across both offensive and defensive units complicates matters. Their home turf gives them a chance, but the depth and overall roster health tilt in San Francisco’s favour.
Key tactical battles:
-
49ers’ offensive line vs. Cardinals’ pass rush: If the 49ers protect Purdy and establish the run early, they can control the tempo.
-
Cardinals’ ability to generate big plays and force turnovers: With missing pieces, they need to create splash moments to stay in the game.
-
Divisional stakes: The 49ers can gain a valuable sweep of the season against a division rival; the Cardinals need a win to inject confidence into their season.
