"A record-setting day by Arizona quarterback Jacoby Brissett was no match for the 49ers' play-making and served as evidence that inflated yardage totals have never been a match for defensive takeaways when it comes to winning football. Brissett completed an NFL-record 47 passes in 57 attempts for 452 yards and two touchdowns, but also threw interceptions to Malik Mustapha and Deommodore Lenoir that pushed the 49ers' season total of interceptions from one to three."
"Then there was slot corner Upton Stout, who became the second 49ers' rookie this season, along with Alfred Collins, to punch loose a fumble at the goal line, this one by Arizona tight end Elijah Higgins. This one was recovered by 49ers defensive lineman Keion White. The Mustapha interception led to one of three Eddy Pineiro field goals nine more points that weren't related to the offense"
Brock Purdy played effectively as the 49ers beat the Arizona Cardinals 41-22 on the road. The 49ers defense and special teams generated key takeaways and points, including interceptions by Malik Mustapha and Deommodore Lenoir and a goal-line forced fumble by rookie Upton Stout recovered by Keion White. Eddy Pineiro converted three field goals. Jacoby Brissett completed an NFL-record 47 passes for 452 yards and two touchdowns but his interceptions shifted momentum. The 49ers converted turnovers into short-field scores, including a Purdy-to-George Kittle touchdown, and improved to 7-4 with an extra day before facing Carolina at Levi's Stadium.
