49ers Shred Cardinals (38-10) in Mexico on Monday Night Football for 3rd Straight Win
It was an up-and-down start to the season for the 49ers — they were 3-4 through seven weeks — but San Francisco is clicking at the right time. The 49ers handed a beatdown to the Cardinals on a rainy night in Mexico City (38-10). The divisional rivalry was a no-contest after the first quarter. The Cards held a 3-0 lead, but 49ers’ QB Jimmy Garoppolo engineered an efficient offensive performance with four touchdowns while San Fran rushed for 159 yards on the ground with seven different ballcarriers. The score was 14-10 in the second quarter before the Niners scored 24 unanswered. And the NFC West is officially in a dogfight down the stretch.
