On November 13th, 2022, the San Francisco 49ers cruised to a decisive 41-22 victory over the Arizona Cardinals in a Sunday afternoon NFL matchup. The 49ers jumped out to an early 13-0 lead in the first five minutes of the game and never looked back, improving their record to 7-4 on the season.
Quarterback Brock Purdy, who had missed most of the season due to injury, completed 19 of 26 passes for 200 yards and 3 touchdowns. Tight end George Kittle caught 2 of those touchdown passes, while running back Christian McCaffrey added 1 receiving touchdown and 2 rushing touchdowns, totaling 81 yards on the ground.
Despite a record-setting performance from Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who completed 47 of 57 passes for 452 yards, the Cardinals were unable to mount a comeback after falling behind 35-10 in the third quarter. Brissett's impressive numbers were largely inflated by "garbage time" production as the game was already out of reach.
