Arizona Cardinals (1-1) at San Francisco 49ers (2-0) — Game Preview
An NFC West meeting brings the 1-1 Arizona Cardinals to Levi’s Stadium to face the unbeaten 2-0 San Francisco 49ers. The gap between these offenses is wide so far, with San Francisco piling up 380.5 yards and 31.0 points per game while Arizona sits at 279.0 yards and 16.5 points.
Brock Purdy is the biggest reason for that split, completing 80.4% of his passes for 492 yards and five touchdowns, and the 49ers are converting 63.2% of their third downs behind him. Jacoby Brissett has a steadier profile on the other side with 372 passing yards and a 67.7% completion rate, which leaves Arizona’s third-down rate of 34.6% as the number it most needs to push up.
Trey McBride gives the Cardinals their surest outlet, with 17 catches for 136 yards and two scores, and Christian McCaffrey adds 91 rushing yards and two touchdowns for a 49ers ground game averaging 134.5 yards per game. Arizona does own the better turnover differential at plus-2 against plus-1 for San Francisco. Mike Evans carried a questionable tag with a hip injury on the midweek report.

Players to Watch: Arizona Cardinals vs. San Francisco 49ers
Arizona Cardinals
Jacoby Brissett — QB. Brissett has completed 44 of 65 attempts for 372 yards with two touchdowns and just one interception. His 86.2 passer rating reflects a game built on ball security more than big plays, and that approach matters against a San Francisco offense that can pull ahead quickly.
Trey McBride — TE. Seventeen receptions on 23 targets tell you how often Arizona looks his way, and McBride has turned those catches into 136 yards and two touchdowns. His longest grab so far is 27 yards, so most of his damage comes on the short and intermediate throws that keep drives alive.
Budda Baker — S. Few safeties get home as a pass rusher the way Baker does, and he already has 1.5 sacks and 1.5 tackles for loss to go with 16 total tackles. He also has a pass defensed, giving the Cardinals a disruptor who shows up at every level of the field.
San Francisco 49ers
Brock Purdy — QB. Leading the 49ers with 492 passing yards, Purdy has thrown five touchdowns against one interception while completing 45 of 56 passes. His 125.6 passer rating is the headline number, and he has added 59 rushing yards and a score with his legs.
Christian McCaffrey — RB. McCaffrey is averaging 4.6 yards per carry with 91 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 20 attempts. He remains a factor in the passing game too, catching nine of 12 targets for 63 yards.
Fred Warner — LB. With 16 total tackles and two forced fumbles, Warner is the playmaker at the center of the San Francisco defense. He has also chipped in half a sack and a pass defensed, and his range against the run and in coverage is what Arizona’s short passing game has to account for.
