SANTA CLARA — That is the stay weblog of the San Francisco 49ers’ common season finale in opposition to the Arizona Cardinals. I’ll replace this incessantly with data and evaluation from the press field.

11:50 The Giants are sitting their beginning quarterback, Daniel Jones, and enjoying apply squad quarterback Davis Webb this afternoon after they face Philadelphia, which suggests they most certainly will lose. And which means the 49ers most certainly will not get the No. 1 seed. It is too dangerous that the NFL permits groups to relaxation starters. It is also too dangerous that the 49ers misplaced to a few dangerous groups — the Bears, the Broncos and the Falcons. Had the 49ers taken care of enterprise early within the season, they’d have a bye subsequent week.

11:52 I am curious to see if the 49ers protection performs as much as its commonplace in the present day, as a result of it hasn’t because the crew clinched the division title in Seattle. The previous two video games, the 49ers have given up 54 factors, regardless of going through Taylor Heinicke and Jarrett Stidham. Final week, the 49ers gave up 135 dashing yards — essentially the most they’d given up since Week 7. It looks as if the protection has taken its foot off the fuel simply earlier than the playoffs, which is comprehensible. However they will have to show it on subsequent week, which is perhaps powerful to do in the event that they take off three straight video games. I might prefer to see them play tougher than final week and put away a nasty Cardinals crew enjoying its third-string quarterback — David Blough.

11:57 Listed here are the 49ers inactives: Dre Greenlaw, Aaron Banks, Drake Jackson, Ambry Thomas, Ross Dwelley, Kevin Givens and Jimmy Garoppolo.

11:58 Listed here are the Cardinals inactives: James Conner, DeAndre Hopkins, Colt McCoy, Marco Wilson, Zaven Collins, Antonio Hamilton, Lecitus Smith, Robbie Anderson and Zach Allen.

1:25 The 49ers win the toss and defer. The Cardinals will obtain the opening kickoff.

FIRST QUARTER

1:27 On the second play of the sport, 2nd and seven from the Cardinals 23, David Blough palms off to Pharoah Cooper, who throws the ball again to Blough, who launches it downfield to A.J. Inexperienced, who catches the ball over Deommodore Lenoir, who falls, will get again up and misses a sort out as Inexperienced scores. Embarrassing. At the very least the Cardinals missed the additional level.

49ers 0, Cardinals 6.

1:33 On third and 4 from the Cardinals 21, Brock Purdy completes a display screen cross to Christian McCaffrey, who scores. That was straightforward. The Cardinals protection put up little to no resistance.

49ers 7, Cardinals 6.

1:39 On third and seven from the Cardinals 28, Samson Ebukam sacks David Blough, and the Cardinals go 3 and out. After the punt, the 49ers take over at their 38.

1:44 On 2nd and 9 from the 49ers 39, J.J. Watt beats Spencer Burford to sack Brock Purdy for a six-yard loss. Subsequent play, Brandon Aiyuk almost makes a diving first-down seize over the center, however the ball hits the grass. The cross sank on the finish. After the punt, the Cardinals take over at their 30.

1:45 Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles has a neck damage and his return is questionable.

1:50 On 4th and 1 from the Cardinals 39, David Blough makes an attempt a quarterback sneak, good points no yards and turns it over on downs.

1:53 On third and 12 from the Cardinals 41, Purdy spins away from unblocked stress up the center, sprints to his left, will get chased down, loses 17 yards and knocks the 49ers out of area aim vary. Tough play. Horrible cross safety up to now. After the punt, the Cardinals take over at their 26.
