Josh Rosen got word a couple of days before the game that the Arizona Cardinals

would take a deep strike on the opening play in hopes of waking up a struggling offense.It couldn't have worked any better.Rosen threw a 75-yard touchdown pass to fellow rookie Christian Kirk on Arizona's opening snap and the Cardinals then turned the game over to their opportunistic defense to earn their first win of the season Authentic Laken Tomlinson Jersey , 28-18 over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday."We were just trying to get a spark in any way possible and just try to get our offense going," Rosen said. "We haven't been scoring as many points as we wanted to. I think we took a really good first step."The Cardinals (1-4) gained just 145 yards the rest of the game but it didn't matter because the defense took the ball away from the 49ers (1-4) five times, including a 23-yard fumble return for a touchdown by Josh Bynes and two more turnovers that set up short TD runs by David Johnson on drives that went a combined 44 yards.For a team that had scored just 37 points through four games, fewest for the franchise since 1945, and gained just 834 yards in the first four games, tied for the fewest in the NFL in 16 years, this game signified progress."We'll take all of the ugly ones we can get," receiver Larry Fitzgerald said. "It wasn't pretty but we started off with a bang. The fireworks came early and they came late. So that was good."Fitzgerald had just two catches for 35 yards but proved to be a capable decoy on the first play when free safety Adrian Colbert jumped up in coverage, allowing Kirk to get open deep.That was one of the few poor plays by San Francisco's defense, but that was enough for a loss."It was just an undisciplined play by me," Colbert said. "I saw Larry flash and it was just a bad play on my part. It is something that I have to correct."Here are some other takeaways from the game:STATISTICAL MISMATCHThe Niners had the decided edge in yardage (447-220), first downs (33-10) and offensive plays (92-49), but still ended up on the losing side. San Francisco set a franchise record for plays and had the most for any team in a loss since 2013. But the five turnovers, including four by backup quarterback C.J. Beathard, were the most for the team in five years."You look at a lot of those (stats), it's hard to find how you lost a game Womens Brock Coyle Jersey ," coach Kyle Shanahan said. "Then it's very easy when you look at the turnover column. I haven't been part of any game, I don't think many people have, where five turnovers to zero leads to a win. We have to improve that drastically to have a chance."TAKE IT AWAYThe Cardinals had plenty of contributors on defense on a day when they could have easily been tired. Tre Boston and Bene Benwikere had interceptions, Bynes had the fumble return for a TD after a strip sack by Haason Reddick, Chandler Jones had his own strip sack and recovery and Patrick Peterson returned a fumble 49 yards to set up Johnson's first TD run."We just knew that we had to dig deep," Jones said. "It wasn't about being tired, but it was about walking off that field with a win. That was our biggest thing tonight."BREIDA'S ANKLEMatt Breida got off to a fast start for the 49ers with eight carries for 56 yards and a 5-yard TD catch in the first quarter before going down with a sprained right ankle. The injury initially looked to be much more serious, but Breida was able to walk on it during the game and isn't overly concerned."I didn't know what happened at first," he said. "It was just a little tweak. I have been battling through injuries the past two weeks. I was just trying to get out there and play. I will be all right."BEATHARD'S DAYBeathard fell to 1-6 as a starter in his career as he once again held onto the ball too long and made too many mistakes. Beathard completed 34 of 54 passes for 349 yards but threw two interceptions and lost two fumbles."You can't win ball games turning the ball over five times," Beathard said. "I feel like we played well in all the other aspects except for turnovers. Just got to take better care of the ball."Golden Nuggets: 49ers Lose Close Game to LA Chargers Good morning folks, and a happy Monday to you all. Unfortunately, this is going to be one of the shorter editions - I spent all weekend moving to a new house, and missed the game. Not to mention, the internet hasn't quite been set up yet, so I'm trying to do this on my phone (insert nervous emoji here). Although the box score can provide me enough clues to stumble through a review, that seems a little less genuine than I can convincingly feign.What is apparent Womens Adrian Colbert Jersey , despite missing the game, is that the 49ers have been absolutely snakebitten in terms of injury. A week after losing Jimmy Garoppolo for the season, and Richard Sherman for an extended period, the team is now dealing with potentially extended injuries to long-time anchor Joe Staley and rookie 2nd rounder Dante Pettis. Although an ACL injury has been preliminarily ruled out for both, they will undergo MRIs later today, at which point we'll know more about the severity of their injuries. Of course we're all hoping for the best, on both a human and fan level, but knee injuries can be tough to deal with, even if they're not deemed "too serious" - and I wouldn't be surprised if either missed some time.The 49ers are now 1-3, which shouldn't be much of a surprise to anyone, considering that they've been without their top RB the entire season, and the franchise quarterback has been lost for the campaign. What is a surprise, however, is that this record ties them with 8 other teams - and behind exactly one. Although the NFC West is home to a team expected to make a deep playoff run in the Los Angeles Rams, the uncomfortable reality is that our actual cheif divisional rival this season is the Arizona Cardinals - who sit ignominiously atop the NFL (in terms of draft positioning) at 0-4, all by their own selves http://www.sanfrancisco49ersteamonline.com/jaquiski-tartt-jersey , and enjoying the NFCW basement all to their own selves.49ers sustained several injuries against Chargers || Biderman, Sac Bee | Maiocco, NBC Sports Bay AreaGame 4 review || Biderman, Sac Bee | Madson, Ninerswire | Almquist, KNBRGame 4 analysis || Biderman, Sac Bee | Maiocco, NBC Sports Bay Area | Maiocco (2), NBC Sports Bay Area | Madson, Ninerswire | Lowder, NinerswireTeammates impressed with CJ Beathard's grit || Maiocco, NBC Sports Bay Area | Almquist, KNBR49ers upset with a hard-fought loss || Maiocco, NBC Sports Bay Area49ers reportedly inquired about LeVeon Bell || KNBR Staff
