What a game first of all. This game was all about the line of scrimmage. The Niners couldn't hold the line on Offense and couldn't run the ball well he entire game. The Niners and the Cardinals also had the defense working well early. I think the Niners defense was a bit better especially early on. The Cardinals defense allowed a touchdown in the first half while the Niners only allowed field goals.
The second half was a bit of a different game for both sides. The Cardinals did a good job moving the Ball for most of the second half. They ate the clock and made the Niners defense work. They also scored a touchdown to Fitzgerald and then a field goal after that. The big part of the game was offensive line of the Niners holding blocks on the winning drive allowing Shaun Hill to make the big plays. It would end with a 3 yard TD pass to Gore. What was key was keeping the drive going for over 7 minutes and letting their own defense get a rest. The Cardinals couldn't do anything when they got the ball back twice with the Defense of the Niners. Niners win: 20-16.
P.S. I will comment on the rest of the NFL after the Bears-Packers Game tonight.
