"Up and down the 49ers' season goes. The lows? They've been pretty low. But the highs, like Sunday's 41-22 win over the Cardinals? Those are crazy high. What is this 49ers team? Who can say? Week by week, we're in for a surprise. Sunday provided a positive one. The 49ers' offense was at its best in the desert, its defense was opportunistic, its special teams did things, and San Francisco is back in the win column and in control of their own playoff destiny again."
"Lenoir was hardly sub-standard on Sunday. In what was unquestionably his best game of the season, Lenoir was sticky and decisive in coverage and provided some nice pop in the run game. His interception in the third quarter sealed the game and totally redeemed himself for what might have been his only bad rep of the contest a few plays before."
"Not only did the Niners' tight end catch a touchdown of his own, but he was instrumental on the 49ers' third touchdown of the game, where he ran a legal pick to free up Christian McCaffrey for an untouched score. Kittle ended the game with six catches for 67 yards and three touchdowns. The 49ers' offense is at its highest level when Kittle plays at his best."
San Francisco beat Arizona 41-22, combining peak offensive execution, opportunistic defense and impactful special teams to return to the win column and control its playoff destiny. The season has swung between low and high points, with Sunday representing a major positive. Deommodore Lenoir played his best game, sticking in coverage, supporting the run and sealing the game with a third-quarter interception. Skyy Moore opened with a 98-yard kickoff return to the 1-yard line. George Kittle had six catches for 67 yards and three touchdowns, including a legal pick that freed Christian McCaffrey for a score. Brock Purdy added a different dimension to the offense.
