WEEK 10 · FINAL
THE READ
Cardinals run away with it, 35-14

Brock Purdy is still searching for it — 139 passing yards a game across his last three, against an average of 202. Total yards: Cardinals 393, 49ers 159.

THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cardinals | +10.2 | +2.2 | +8.0 | +13 |
| 49ers | -6.9 | +6.1 | -13.0 | -5 |
SRS is how many points a side beats an
average team by once you account for who they played — beat a good
team by 3 and it counts for more than beating a bad one by 20.
SOS is how hard that schedule has been.

IN THE BOOTH
Luca Santana
Analyst
Arizona's balance decided this one—the Cardinals ran 21 times and threw 23, which let them control a game where San Francisco needed to throw 67% of the time and still managed only 108 passing yards, forcing them into a hole they couldn't climb out of.

San Francisco's turnover margin and offensive decline are separate problems now—the 49ers forced nothing while coughing it up twice, and over the last 3 weeks Purdy's averaging 139 passing yards where he used to average 202, which means this team has lost its ability to execute the one thing it's built to do.
They only ever read the box score and this league's own numbers —
none of them has a source, and none of them can report anything that
did not happen.

Bold is the side that won that line. Giveaways come off a team's own offensive rows and takeaways off its own defensive rows — two separate payloads, so they need not tie out against each other.
