Comment on 49ers stagger to 23-14 loss to Arizona

49ers stagger to 23-14 loss to Arizona

Arizona (3-0) scored on its first drive of the second half, moving 85 yards in seven plays for a 24-yard touchdown pass from Drew Stanton to John Brown. Next play, linebacker Patrick Willis was called for roughing the passer after hitting Stanton — a call the 49ers were furious about — to move the Cardinals 15 more yards closer to the end zone. San Francisco later had a pass interference penalty to keep an Arizona drive alive and was flagged nine times for 107 yards overall. The 49ers had hoped to take advantage of the Cardinals, who were playing with a backup quarterback for the second straight week and could potentially be distracted after backup running back Jonathan Dwyer was arrested on a domestic abuse charge earlier in the week. With Kaepernick hurting the Cardinals with his arm and legs, the 49ers went on a pair of methodical, 80-yard scoring drives in the first half. Arizona's offense started to hum behind Stanton, who played more confidently than the week before while throwing for 244 yards and two touchdowns on 18-of-33 passing. San Francisco's athletic quarterback hurt Arizona by keeping plays alive with his legs and rushing for 45 yards on nine carries.
