Brock Purdy grew up in Queen Creek, Arizona, about 45 miles from State Farm Stadium. Sunday afternoon is his first NFL start at the place where, as a kid, he watched the Cardinals play. The 49ers can clinch the NFC West with a win.
The Cardinals are 3-10 and playing for next year's draft position. Kyler Murray is back. Jonathan Gannon's first year as head coach has been the rebuild it was supposed to be.
The 49ers should handle Sunday comfortably. McCaffrey, healthy, can finish the year with another 1,000-yard rushing season. Purdy can lock down the NFC West for the second straight year. The afternoon is the kind of Sunday a contender takes care of on the way to January.
Week 15 is the NFC West clinch window. The 49ers (10-3) can clinch the division with a Sunday win at Arizona. The Eagles' loss to the Cowboys last week opens the No. 1 seed conversation. Around the AFC the Ravens are pushing for the top seed. The Sunday game is the closeout division game and Brock Purdy's first NFL start at his hometown stadium in Glendale.
Through fourteen games the 49ers are 10-3 with a +175 point differential. The Cardinals are 3-10 with a -126. Kyler Murray averages 256 passing yards per game since returning from his ACL. Purdy's first home start in Arizona. The 49ers have won 5 straight. Vegas opens the 49ers as 11-point road favorites; total 47.5.

Brock Purdy grew up in Queen Creek, Arizona, about an hour from State Farm Stadium. Sunday afternoon he made his first NFL start at the place where, as a high schooler, he watched the Cardinals play. Four touchdown passes, 242 yards, 16 completions on 25 attempts. The hometown made the trip.
The 49ers beat the Cardinals 45-29 and clinched the NFC West. McCaffrey scored three touchdowns; Samuel added two. Charvarius Ward returned a Murray interception 66 yards to the house. The Cardinals rushed for 234 yards, the kind of total that would have been a problem if the 49ers' offense had been producing anything less than the version it produced Sunday.
Six straight wins, all by at least 12 points. Twelve straight divisional wins. The 49ers, on the road to the No. 1 seed in the NFC, are the team September said they were.
49ers 45, Cardinals 29. Margin: +16. Fifteen-game record: 11-3, +191 differential.
A 45-29 win at State Farm Stadium. The 49ers improve to 11-3 and clinch the NFC West.
How it unfolded
McCaffrey scored an opening-drive touchdown. Charvarius Ward intercepted Kyler Murray and ran it back 66 yards for a pick-6 to make it 14-7. Purdy hit Samuel for another touchdown and McCaffrey added a second to push it to 28-7 by the half. The third quarter was the McCaffrey-Aiyuk show: another McCaffrey TD, another Aiyuk catch for big yardage. The Cardinals scored late on the Murray-to-Wilson connection but never threatened the outcome.
The turning point
Charvarius Ward's pick-6. With the score 7-7 in the first quarter, Ward read Murray's throw and took it 66 yards the other way. The 14-7 lead set the tone for a 21-point first half cushion.
By the numbers
Purdy 16-of-25 for 242 with four TDs. McCaffrey 187 scrimmage yards on 23 touches with three TDs. Samuel two TDs. Ward two INTs and the pick-6. The 49ers' run defense, ranked 1st coming in, surrendered 234 yards to the Cardinals' rushing attack.
Personnel watch
Purdy in the hometown start with four TDs. McCaffrey continuing the MVP-track production. Ward in the kind of complete defensive day that gets a corner into Pro Bowl voting conversations. The 49ers' offense produced 423 total yards.
What it means
11-3 with the NFC West clinched and the No. 1 seed within reach. The Ravens come up at home on Christmas Day next, the kind of cross-conference matchup that decides the conference's top seed.
