The Arizona Cardinals staged a dramatic second-half comeback to defeat the San Francisco 49ers 24-23 in a closely contested game. The Cardinals overcame a 13-point halftime deficit, with Kyzir White's crucial interception sealing the victory. Brock Purdy, the 49ers' quarterback, threw two interceptions, including one in the final moments, which contributed to the team's third loss in four games. The 49ers, now with a 2-3 record, struggled to maintain their lead, having been outscored by 14 points in the second half. Kyler Murray played a significant role for the Cardinals, rushing for 83 yards and one touchdown. The Cardinals also overcame a blocked FG attempt by their backup kicker. This loss leaves the 49ers in a challenging position as they prepare for a quick turnaround to a Thursday night game against the Seattle Seahawks.
