The Arizona Cardinals orchestrated a thrilling comeback to edge out the San Francisco 49ers 24-23. Starting with an early spark from Kyler Murray's electric 50-yard touchdown run, the Cardinals found themselves trailing at halftime, 23-10, as the 49ers capitalized on special teams play and Brock Purdy's passing. However, a resurgent Cardinals defense in the second half, highlighted by takeaways including a fumble recovery by Mack Wilson Sr., shifted the momentum.
Kyler Murray's command in the crucial moments was instrumental, as he led a late drive, with critical help from rookie Marvin Harrison Jr., who made a key fourth-down catch.
