Ricky Pearsall was a key X-factor vs. Cardinals (despite only 1 catch)

The second-year wideout was a classic example of not just watching the ball in Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals.

The offensive cavalry has gradually arrived for the San Francisco 49ers over the last few weeks.

George Kittle returned, Jauan Jennings gradually got healthier, and rookie Jordan Watkins finally made his way to the lineup, while the offensive line was fortified by the returns of twin veteran guards in Spencer Burford and Ben Bartch.

That's led to a noticeable upswing in San Francisco's offensive performances, but the final piece fell into place last Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals with quarterback Brock Purdy's return.
