49ers vs. Cardinals, third quarter thread: Arizona is getting annoying

After picking up another first down, the Cardinals faced a 3rd & 5 from the 20-yard line, but Tashaun Gipson defended a back-shoulder fade well enough to force an incompletion, and Arizona settled for a 38-yard field goal attempt. Matt Prater’s kick was good, and the score was 14-3.

Purdy remained perfect on the next drive after airing it out to Brandon Aiyuk for a 42-yard gain, then finding McCloud on the next play. Within a blink of an eye, the Niners were inside of the Cardinals 10-yard line.

A six-yard passing score to McCaffrey put the Niners ahead by three possessions, and it was 21-3, San Francisco.
