In a decisive Week 12 matchup, the Arizona Cardinals secured a commanding 27-3 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. This win not only boosts Arizona's playoff hopes but also marks a significant statement against a rival that has struggled to find its footing this season. Carson Beck led the Cardinals’ offensive charge, throwing for 222 yards and a touchdown, while Marvin Harrison Jr. showcased his explosive playmaking ability with 116 receiving yards. Jeremiyah Love contributed on the ground, adding 54 rushing yards to the mix, as Arizona's balanced attack kept the 49ers' defense on their heels throughout the game. The Cardinals' defense was instrumental in the win, with Zaven Collins leading the charge with 1.5 sacks and Will Johnson adding an interception to disrupt San Francisco's rhythm. The turning point came in the second quarter when Johnson picked off a pass that shifted momentum firmly in Arizona's favor, allowing them to capitalize and extend their lead. Renardo Green's three tackles for San Francisco were not enough to turn the tide, underscoring the dominance displayed by the Cardinals' unit.
