A home loss to the Seattle Seahawks wasn’t really that bad for the San Francisco 49ers. Seattle’s a good team and the game went all the way to the end of overtime. No big deal.
A loss at home to the Arizona Cardinals would have been really bad.
Jimmy Garoppolo saved the day. With 31 seconds left he hit Jeff Wilson for a 25-yard score to give the 49ers a lead and they won 36-26. Garoppolo had 424 yards and four touchdown passes. A fumble on the Cardinals’ first play after the touchdown practically put it away, and a weird 49ers defensive touchdown on the final play finished the scoring.
