"SANTA CLARA Nick Bosa gave a thumbs-down signal toward the crowd presumably to his mom and friends in a suite as he limped toward the 49ers' medical tent with a knee injury that would force him out of Sunday's home opener. Another injury to the ever-wounded Niners and yet another victory. The 49ers (3-0) pulled out more fourth-quarter heroics and used Eddy Pineiro's 35-yard field goal as time expired to claim a 16-15 triumph over the Arizona Cardinals (2-1)."
"Mac Jones, Brock Purdy's stand-in for a second straight game, had a minute and 46 seconds to deliver the game-winning drive, after the 49ers' previous two possessions resulted in an interception at the Arizona 20-yard line and a safety in the 49ers' end zone. Jones delivered completions to Jake Tonges (11 yards), Skyy Moore (10 yards) and Kendrick Bourne (seven and 11 yards) before a screen to Christian McCaffrey got the 49ers to the 16-yard line with 12 seconds remaining."
Nick Bosa left the game limping toward the 49ers' medical tent with a knee injury that forced him out of the home opener. San Francisco won 16-15 on Eddy Pineiro's 35-yard field goal as time expired. Mac Jones, making a second straight start for Brock Purdy, led a late 1:46 drive that converted multiple short completions and a Christian McCaffrey screen to reach the 16-yard line with 12 seconds left. Jones finished 27-of-41 for 284 yards, targeting McCaffrey and Ricky Pearsall heavily. Arizona took a 15-13 lead after a holding penalty on Dominick Puni and Calais Campbell pressure, but the 49ers' defense forced a three-and-out to set up the final drive.
