Brock Purdy's return sparked the 49ers' offense, it also brought a much needed divisional win in a blowout against the Cardinals. Purdy threw for three touchdowns on Sunday, two of which went to a favorite target in tight end George Kittle and the other went to offensive fulcrum Christian McCaffrey, who leads the NFL in scrimmage yards this season through Week 11. Skyy Moore set the tone, returning the opening kickoff 98 yards to the 1-yard line, setting up a McCaffrey 1-yard touchdown run. San Francisco maintained control throughout the game, one in which Arizona did itself no favors accumulating a franchise-record 17 penalties. San Francisco did not escape Arizona unscathed though, as kicker Eddy Piñeiro suffered a hamstring injury in the third quarter that could force the team to bring in a new kicker. On this episode of '49ers Talk,' co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan break down San Francisco's outstanding performance against the Cardinals Sunday at State Farm Stadium. Matt and Jennifer discuss the impact of Purdy's return on the 49ers' offense during a crucial stretch, Kittle and CMC's dominance, and how injuries to both Piñeiro and linebacker Tatum Bethune might affect the team ahead of Monday's showdown with the Carolina Panthers.--(0:00) 49ers did what they had to do to get win vs. Cardinals(3:00) Will the 49ers have to add a kicker because of Eddy Piñeiro's injury?(4:00) Brock Purdy's return dispels any QB controversy from media(12:00) Can CMC achieve 1,000-1,000 season?(14:00) This is the healthiest the 49ers have been on offense all season(17:30) The 49ers' defense forced three takeaways(25:00) What type of team are the 49ers?
