Marquee Matchup
49ers LB Fred Warner vs Cardinals RB James Conner
Shutting down James Conner puts the game on the right arm of Joshua Dobbs. Arizona’s quarterback has attempted just 82 passes, the fewest of any starter in the NFL.
Conner is a bruising runner who has rushed for 98 and 106 yards over the last two games. As a result, the Cardinals offense has scored 28 points in consecutive weeks.
When asked what he thinks allows Arizona to be successful running the ball 49ers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks pointed to Conner.
