San Francisco 49ers vs Arizona Cardinals | Week 11 Game Preview

San Francisco 49ers vs Arizona Cardinals | Week 11 Game Preview

Arizona Cardinals at home week 11 have lost six of their last seven after a blowout loss to Seattle last week. Their visitors know the feeling. The San Francisco 49ers almost the exact same kind of loss to the Rams. Stafford kills the blitz. Gets it to Nua breaks the tackle. Hookah Noula on his feet and in. One team lost 42 to22 last week. The other 44 to 26. Tomato tomato I say. But each of these teams have different areas of concern heading into this matchup, which probably matters a little more to San Francisco at this point. At six and four, they still have incentive to stay focused. So, they’d be happy if they could get better defensive play this week. Gave up 42 points to the Rams. They went five for six in the red zone against them. Williams is in. Touchdown, Los Angeles. That’s three straight games. They’ve given up 24 plus points. I know. How are you supposed to play good defense when your arms are tied behind your back? It’s a lot of belisters out there. So, not shocking they gave up four TD passes to Matthew Stafford. No picks, 280 yards, a 127 rate. Tough for this 49ers defense to get a beat on anything and they just got him in a blender right now. Only sacked Stafford once. No team has fewer bags in 2025. So, something has to give. Jacobe Brassette was dropped five times by Seattle last week. And here’s the variance in blowouts. Two of the sacks he took turned into fumble recovery touchdowns. Knocked away again. Loose. Here comes Lawrence. Holy smokes. Another touchdown. Brassett’s taken five to six sacks in three straight games. And still two TDs thrown for the fourth straight game. No picks. 258 yards. That’s four straight over 250. Second down and goal and caught Harrison. That is a touchdown. Difference. Last week he only completed 50% of his passes. Threw 44 times for just 5.9 yardds per attempt. A low8s rate. 22 points the fewest Arizona has scored with Brassette as starter. They did make it inside the 20 six times. Only converted three of them though. 6 for 16 on third down, two for five on fourth. Fourman rush. end zone and Harrison. Nope. Incomplete. Niners DBs gave up 64 yards and a touchdown to Puka Nakua. 77 yards and a TD to Devonte Adams. Over a 100 yardds to LA’s tight end trio. One score, which brings us to Trey McBride. He could work with that after hitting Seattle with 127 yds in a TD. Present to the air. Fiveman rush gets it off to McBride. Breaks a tackle and he’s in. Touchdown. McBride. McBride led the team with 13 targets. 12 went to Marvin Harrison. He scored. Play action by Brassette. Connects with his receiver and that’s a catch. The first one today for Marvin Harrison. Just three catches for 33 yards though. Michael Wilson seven targets 34 yards. Amari Demarcado 40 receiving yards plus 64 rush yards. Broke away for a 55 y. Look at De Marcado go. He only got four carries. Bam Knight led the team with 10, just 28 yards, which is what CMC finished with. Basically, 12 attempts, 30 rush yards, 2.5 a carry. He just has not gotten it going as a runner most times out. San Francisco’s offense still put up 26 points against the Rams. M. Jones comes in off another good start, too. 33 of 39 passing, 319 yards, over eight yards per attempt, three TDs, a 115 rate. Jones in deep trouble. Rolls away, throws. It’s going to be a touchdown. Luke Ferrell scores. What a play from M. Jones. He’s played well in back-to-back games. Didn’t take a sack versus LA, which is impressive with their front. Arizona’s pass rush with a single sack of Sam Darnold. Only had 12 chances to get him, even though their own offense accounted for 14 points. That leaves 30 points allowed by the D. Hurdling, diving. Touchdown. Still though, they were down 28 to zero because of those fumbles. They took the ball away three times. But the secondary Mack faces this week saw Darnold complete 10 of the 12 passes he threw. One a 43yd TD to Jackson Smith and Jigba. Another a 67yd pass to Cooper Cup. A whopping 14.8 yds per attempt allowed gave up a 111 rate to Darnold with a catch and a run. Cooper Cup breaking tackles on the way. Thompson will hold him out. Secondary had seen better days prior to last week and they did pick him off one of the 12 times he threw. Smith and Jigba and Cup the only two pass catchers they got burned by. Jones used the majority of his throws on three guys. McAffrey saw the most targets turned them into 66 receiving yards. That part of his game is in A+ condition. Throws for McAffrey makes the catch. George KD led the team with 84 yards, his season high in five games played. Scored for the third time. There’s a man wide open. KD makes the catch, dives for the pylon. Is he in? They’re going to check. He is. Touchdown. Their top white out last week. Jawan Jennings with 71 yds. Second most he’s had in 2025. Jennings makes the catch. He’s got a first down if it holds. And there’s Brian Robinson. He was more effective than CMC in their ground game. Eight carries, 41 yards in a TD, 5.1 a carry. Going to run it. Why not? He’s got a little juice. Brian Robinson getting this team going. And another first down. They shouldn’t be shy about turning to those two in this one. Arizona gave up 198 rush yards to Seattle due to Seattle not needing to pass, of course, but they gave up 5.9 a run to Zack Charbanet, 83 yards and a TD. Kenneth Walker got him for 4.8 a run, 67 yards. Even George Helani ran for 4.4 four and a score on him. Blocked by Lucas. The broken tackle, the five. Nailbiter between these two. Back in week three, Kyler wasn’t able to do much. Jones threw for 284 yards. CMC over 130 scrimmage yards. 16 to 15 Ner’s win. Sweeps it, delivers it, and San Francisco is in first place. They win it at the Horn. These two have played each other since 1951. A single playoff bout. 49ers up by six after 68 meetings. First time San Fran ever played the Phoenix Cardinals 1988. Desert Heat got to him by the end of the game. Back home in Sunundevil Stadium for a week 10 confrontation against San Francisco. The world champions to be rolled up a shocking 23 to nothing lead in the third quarter before the Phoenix defense brought the 49ers to a screeching halt. Late in the third quarter, Neil Wax got the Cardinals on the scoreboard with a touchdown pass to Roy Green. Then following a fourth quarter field goal, Lmax passed to rookie wide receiver Ernie Jones in the end zone to bring the Cardinals within six at 23-7 with 2 minutes left. When Lommax got the ball again, just 127 remained with no timeouts left. A 25 y to Erie Jones took the ball to the San Francisco 9. Lommax had already completed 24 passes for more than 300 yd, but with only 6 seconds left, all that mattered now was the final 9 yd. Roy Green’s clutch catch climaxed to drive which covered 66 yards and seven plays. The last with just 3 seconds left. In the NFL’s game of the year, the Cardinals had shocked the once and future champions 24-23.
