Sunday was a fun day in the desert for the San Francisco 49ers. The team rolled past division rival Arizona with a convincing 41-22 victory. With the win, the 49ers improved their record to 7-4, bouncing back strongly from a frustrating performance the previous week against the Los Angeles Rams.
As the 49ers now turn their attention toward a “Monday Night Football” matchup against the Carolina Panthers, let’s take a look back at some of the top performers from Sunday’s dominant bounce-back effort.
### Brock Purdy
San Francisco’s franchise quarterback, Brock Purdy, missed six games and eight of the 49ers’ first 10 games while nursing a toe injury. But Purdy was back in action on Sunday, and he looked sharp. The 6-foot-1, 220-pound signal-caller completed 19-of-26 passes for 200 yards, throwing three touchdown passes.
### George Kittle
The 49ers’ superstar tight end George Kittle had a standout day, notching two touchdown receptions. Kittle finished with six catches for 67 yards and those two scores, bringing his career touchdown receptions total to 50.
### Christian McCaffrey
San Francisco workhorse Christian McCaffrey continues to put up big numbers. On Sunday, he racked up 121 total yards on 18 touches and scored three touchdowns. McCaffrey had a pair of rushing touchdowns along with one receiving score.
### Curtis Robinson
Pressed into duty following linebacker Tatum Bethune’s ankle injury, Curtis Robinson responded impressively with a team-high 12 tackles, anchoring the 49ers’ defensive effort.
### Dee Winters
Dee Winters has evolved into one of San Francisco’s defensive leaders amid numerous injuries to the team. Winters delivered another strong performance on Sunday, recording 10 tackles and one tackle for loss.
### Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha ignited the turnover parade by intercepting Arizona quarterback Jacoby Brissett just before halftime. The interception set up a 47-yard field goal by Eddy Pineiro, helping the 49ers take a 25-10 lead into the halftime break.
### Deommodore Lenoir
49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir picked off a pass intended for Arizona tight end Elijah Higgins and raced 64 yards to the end zone for San Francisco’s second interception and takeaway of the day. This play set up Kittle’s second touchdown grab.
### Skyy Moore
Everything for San Francisco started with an explosive kickoff return from Skyy Moore. Moore’s 98-yard kickoff return set up McCaffrey’s opening 1-yard touchdown run, and the 49ers were off and running from there.
