Six things that mattered most in the 49ers’ awful loss to the Cardinals

Quarterback Brock Purdy put the ball in the air 35 times. 24 of his goals went to Aiyuk and Kittle. Four went to Jennings, three went to Deebo Samuel and one went to Jordan Mason. Of Purdy’s 19 completions, 16 went to Aiyuk and Kittle. That is not a recipe for success. The 49ers need to be better at distributing the ball and finding ways to get the ball into the hands of their playmakers.
