Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals was, thankfully, a win, placing the 3-0 San Francisco 49ers atop the NFC West. Some called it a "thrilling" game.
The San Francisco 49ers improved to 3-0 atop the NFC West following a narrow victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Despite jumping out to an early 14-0 lead behind a Brock Purdy touchdown pass to Mike Evans that was lateraled to Deebo Samuel, San Francisco had to recover a late onside kick to seal the win after surrendering 30 points to Arizona.

Mike Evans suffered an apparent rib injury, Trent Williams sustained a stinger, and the defense dealt with several absences, including Dre Greenlaw.
