Due to significant defensive challenges overshadowing their offensive productivity, the Arizona Cardinals suffered a 45-29 defeat against the San Francisco 49ers.
Following a bye week subsequent to a 24-10 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on December 3, uncertainties surrounded the Cardinals’ performance against the NFC Division leaders.
Despite Kyler Murray and the Arizona team accumulating 234 rushing yards and a total offensive output of 436 yards, the trio of Deebo Samuel, Brock Purdy, and Christian McCaffrey dominated the game for San Francisco.
Samuel and McCaffrey each scored two touchdowns, while Purdy threw for 242 yards, completing 16 out of 25 passes.
Moreover, this marked the highest number of points conceded by the Cardinals in a game throughout the season.
With a season record of 3-11 and officially eliminated from playoff contention, here are some reactions from the “Bird Gang” following Arizona’s loss to the 49ers.
