The San Francisco 49ers are currently in a great mood after winning five straight games following their bye week. They are now traveling to Arizona to play the rested Cardinals. Will the Cards surprise everyone or will the Red & Gold pull off another victory?
Amil Fragoso and Nate Littlefield discuss the 49ers’ victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 14, why quarterback Brock Purdy should be considered for MVP, and potential outcomes for the remainder of the regular season in an all-new episode of Return of the Empire. Also, Tyler Drake, a reporter for Arizona Sports covering the Cardinals, joins the show to talk about the Week 15 matchup.
On The Return of the Empire, all of that and more.
“I’ve got a lot of respect of how they’ve done this year,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said about the Cardinals Wednesday. “I thought they were real tough at the beginning of the year. I thought we had to play flawless on offense to beat them, but that was a real tight game. Since then they have how many ever games it is, nine more games of reps. They’re playing very hard, they’re playing together. They’ve added some really good players, especially [Arizona Cardinals S] Budda [Baker] who they didn’t have. I think they’ve always been real talented on special teams. They’ve also gotten a very great talented quarterback back. They remind me a lot of us our first year where we started out 0-9 and finished 6-10. I think everything they’re doing is the right way and I think they’re a real tough football team.”
