The 49ers won ugly and gritty to go 3-0 and atop the NFC West in a game they would have lost last year. In such a tight game, there were quite a few winners and losers.
Not every win is going to be a pretty one when it comes to watching the film, but a win is a win no matter how you do it, and that's certainly true of the San Francisco 49ers and their 16-15 Week 3 win over the Arizona Cardinals.
After a game where it seemed like a touchdown might never get scored, both teams finally found some offense (relatively speaking) to make it 13-13 before a late safety saw Arizona get the lead 15-13 and the ball back in scenes that seemed eeriely similar to ways the Niners lost games last season.
