NFL News: Cardinals put on offensive display in routing 49ers

Added to Favorite


Kyler Murray tied a career high with four touchdown passes and did not throw an interception Sunday to lead the Arizona Cardinals to a 47-24 victory and season sweep of the San Francisco 49ers at Glendale, Ariz.

Murray was 25 of 35 for 242 yards for Arizona, which concluded its season 8-9.

San Francisco (6-11) played without starting quarterback Brock Purdy (elbow) and receiver Deebo Samuel (ribs and wrist).

Arizona did not play leading rusher James Conner (knee).

Purdy’s replacement Joshua Dobbs started eight games for the Cardinals last season while Murray nursed a knee injury.

Dobbs completed 29 of 43 pass attempts on Sunday for 326 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.

Patrick Taylor Jr. rushed for 109 yards on 17 carries for the 49ers.

Arizona’s Pro Bowl tight end Trey McBride had seven catches for 65 yards, finishing with a franchise-best 111 for a tight end and five receptions shy of Zach Ertz’s NFL record for most catches in a season at that position.

Ertz had 116 with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2018. He later played for Arizona before joining Washington this season.

The game included 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings and Arizona cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting ejected in the second quarter after they got into a shoving match.

Before that occurred, the Cardinals converted a Murphy-Bunting interception into a touchdown early in the second quarter.

Seven plays after the interception, Murray completed a 23-yard touchdown pass to Greg Dortch, giving Arizona a 10-3 lead with 12:55 left in the half.

Dobbs engineered two scoring drives in the second quarter that included his 1-yard scoring run and a 6-yard touchdown pass to Ricky Pearsall.

Also in the second quarter, Murray completed a 2-yard scoring strike to McBride and a 25-yard pass to Zay Jones that set up Chad Ryland’s 49-yard field goal as the half came to an end, putting Arizona ahead 20-17.

The teams continued to trade touchdowns in the third quarter with Murray completing a 2-yard scoring pass to Dortch and Dobbs connecting with Kyle Juszczyk for a 36-yard score.

Michael Carter put Arizona ahead 33-24 with 14:16 left in regulation on a 4-yard touchdown run.

Murray’s fourth touchdown pass, a 12-yard pass to Marvin Harrison Jr., increased the lead to 40-24 with 5:47 left. Harrison’s eight TD catches this season tied the franchise record for rookies, shared with Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald.

Tony Jones’ 46-yard touchdown run with 1:47 left closed the scoring, producing the most points for Arizona in a game since 2015.
