49ers vs. Cardinals 3rd quarter thread: This game went off the rails in the second quarter

The Cardinals hit the 49ers defense with an explosive play after an encroachment penalty on Jordan Elliott. Trey McBride got behind the defense for a gain of 34. On a 3rd & 6 from the 28-yard line, Murray’s pass was incomplete after Isaac Yiadom had great coverage on Harrison. Yiadom’s pass breakup forced a 45-yard field goal.

Elliott blocked Chad Ryland’s attempt, and Deommodore Lenoir was there for the taking and returned the kick 61 yards for a touchdown to give San Francisco a 20-10 lead. It was quite the momentum swing.

On the ensuing kickoff, Jake Moody had a tackle.
