๐ Key Storylines
๐ San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers, fresh off a 26-21 win over the Saints, look to extend their unbeaten streak behind backup quarterback Mac Jones, who threw for 279 yards and 3 TDs in Week 2 replacing the injured Brock Purdy. ๐ Running back Christian McCaffrey has been effective through the air with 15 receptions for 125 yards, despite ground game struggles. Wide receiver Jauan Jennings steps up in the passing game, but the team must manage injuries in the secondary. Defensively, the 49ers' unit remains one of the league's best, aiming to contain Arizona's offense. ๐ช
๐ฆ Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals, coming off a 27-22 victory against the Panthers, seek their first win at Levi's Stadium since sweeping the 49ers last season. Quarterback Kyler Murray leads the charge, supported by running back James Conner and tight end Trey McBride. ๐ Rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. emerges as a key target, but the secondary has been plagued by injuries in Week 2, potentially vulnerable to San Francisco's passing attack. Arizona's defense looks to exploit the 49ers' quarterback situation. ๐
