00:00 The 49ers just beat the Cardinals 45 to 29.
00:03 And before the game, we were wondering, are the 49ers going to have an emotional letdown?
00:07 Is this a trap game?
00:09 No!
00:10 They came out with something to freaking prove.
00:13 Well, a lot of them did.
00:14 The offense certainly did.
00:15 Brock Purdy always has something to prove.
00:18 Four touchdowns, 135 quarterback rating.
00:20 Christian McCaffrey always has something to prove, three touchdowns.
00:23 Debo Samuel has something to prove lately, two touchdowns.
00:27 And then on defense, Travarious Ward, who wants some recognition finally, wants to be
00:32 a pro bowler, leading the league in past breakups, had two intercepts in this game, including
00:37 a pick six.
00:39 Those guys came to play.
00:42 Very impressive.
00:43 And you know who didn't come to play?
00:45 The freaking Cowboys.
00:46 They got destroyed by the Bills, which really shows you that there is no team in the NFC
00:51 that can even challenge the 49ers.
00:53 As long as they don't get injured or do something really, really weird, they're going to walk
00:57 into the Super Bowl.
00:59 They're going to win.
01:00 Well, they're going to walk into the Super Bowl.
01:02 The AFC is a different beast.
01:03 We're going to have to learn about that.
01:04 But this really does feel like their year.
01:06 A couple of things, though.
01:07 One, De'Amodor Lenoir injured his rib at the end of the game, did not return.
01:11 We'll find out how serious that is.
01:12 He's a very, very important player.
01:15 And rib injuries can be a few weeks.
01:17 We'll see how serious it is.
01:19 Have you ever injured your rib?
01:20 I have.
01:21 It's hard to get up.
01:22 It's hard to get out of bed.
01:23 It's hard to walk.
01:24 It's hard.
01:25 It's hard to cough.
01:26 It's hard to laugh.
01:27 So we'll see about De'Amodor Lenoir.
01:28 Also, the run defense.
01:29 The Niners actually got outgained in this game.
01:32 They're playing a really bad team with no wide receivers.
01:36 But the Niners' defense was compromised.
01:37 No Armstead, no Devon Hargrave.
01:39 And so the Cardinals rushed for 234 yards.
01:42 Kyler Murray rushed for 49.
01:44 I assume Armstead and Hargrave will play next week against the Ravens.
01:47 But something to watch for.
01:50 The Cardinals are a good running team with a mobile quarterback.
01:52 The Ravens are a great running team with a mobile quarterback.
01:54 And the Niners did not play good run defense in this game.
01:57 They give that 49-yard touchdown run to DeMarcato.
02:01 Never heard of him, but wow, he was exploded on that play.
02:06 Looking at the Niners' run defense, you know, Kinlaw had a sack.
02:11 Got moved out of his gap a little bit against the run.
02:13 Niners need Armstead and Devon Hargrave back.
02:15 I'm sure they're coming back.
02:17 45-29.
02:18 Cardinals are horrible.
