NFC-Leading 49ers Seek Sixth Straight Win Against Last-Place Cardinals
The San Francisco 49ers have been on a roll this season, leading the NFC with a 10-3 record and now they are looking to extend their winning streak to six games when they visit the last-place Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
The 49ers have been one of the most consistent teams in the NFL this season, with their offense and defense both performing at a high level. Led by quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, the 49ers have one of the best passing attacks in the league, averaging over 300 yards per game. The defense has also been outstanding, ranking second in total defense and first in points allowed.
The Cardinals, on the other hand, have struggled this season, posting a 3-10 record and sitting at the bottom of the NFC West standings. They have had their share of struggles on offense, averaging just over 20 points per game, and their defense has been inconsistent, ranking in the bottom half of the league in most categories.
Despite the disparity in records, the 49ers are not taking the Cardinals lightly. They know that any team in the NFL can be dangerous, and they are preparing for a tough game.
“We know the Cardinals are going to come out and give us their best shot,” said 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan. “We have to be ready for a fight and make sure we execute our game plan. We can’t take anything for granted.”
The 49ers are also hoping to get a boost from their home crowd. The 49ers have been playing in front of empty stadiums for most of the season, but this week they will have the advantage of playing in front of a home crowd.
“It’s going to be great to have our fans back in the stands,” said Garoppolo. “We know they’ll be loud and give us a boost, and we’re looking forward to playing in front of them.”
The 49ers have been one of the best teams in the NFL this season, and they are hoping to continue their winning ways on Sunday. With a win, they would extend their winning streak to six games and remain atop the NFC standings. It won’t be easy, but the 49ers are confident that they can get the job done.
“We know the Cardinals are going to give us a tough game,” said linebacker Fred Warner. “But we’re confident in our ability and we’re looking forward to the challenge. We know that if we execute our game plan, we can come away with a win.”
The 49ers and Cardinals will square off on Sunday in what should be an exciting game. The 49ers are looking to extend their winning streak to six games and remain atop the NFC standings, while the Cardinals are hoping to play spoiler and pull off an upset. No matter the outcome, it should be a great game.
