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.
