Cardinals 19, 49ers 13

The Cardinals continued to roll with a 19-13 win over the 49ers today in San Francisco.  The Cardinals improve to 9-2 on the season, they still hold a 3 game lead over the Seahawks in the NFC West (with 5 games to go).  This game was much tougher than I had anticipated, but you take an ugly road/division win anytime you can get them.  A top 2 seed in the playoffs is well within reach.

Observations:

• I seems the Cardinals overlooked the 49ers a bit coming into this game. 
• Tyrann Mathieu was all over the field once again. 
• I got nervous watching Carson Palmer scramble for that touchdown. 
• The Cardinals only averaged 2.6 yards per rushing attempt.
• Tony Jefferson's 4th quarter sack may have been the key play of the game.
• Did it really take the Cardinals 9 plays inside the 5 yard line to score a touchdown?
• I was worried that missed extra point would haunt the Cardinals. 
• Loved the effort from Jermaine Gresham to pick up that late first down. 
• First Downs:  Cardinals 26, 49ers 17
• Total Plays:  Cardinals 70, 49ers 55
• Time of Possession:  Cardinals 37:27, 49ers 22:33
• Turnovers:  49ers 2, Cardinals 0
• The 49ers didn't convert one third down all game. 
• Hopefully, none of the Cardinals injuries are serious. 
• How is it possible that the Cardinals hadn't won in San Francisco since 2008? 
• Carson Palmer needs to work on his spike. 
• How did Tremaine Brook drop that interception? 
• Chris Johnson may have hit the wall.  
• Blaine Gabbert appears to be a better fit in San Francisco than he was in Jacksonville.
• I think Jim Tomsulu may be a one and done guy. 
• Up next?  @ St. Louis to take on the Rams next Sunday.
