Stud: The defense following Garoppolo’s second interception

The defense struggled with Arizona’s offense in the first half, allowing 16 of the 26 points in the first 30 minutes. The Cardinals had 11 drives Sunday. Three ended with a three-and-out, and two of those came in the second half. The final three-and-out came when it was most needed. After Garoppolo threw his interception with 4:41 remaining, Arizona had a chance to ice the game, but the defense came up with a huge stop. On a third-and-5, quarterback Kyler Murray rolled left and was immediately met by defensive tackle Arik Armstead, who blasted the quarterback and ended the drive. The defensive hold allowed the offense to get back on the field and win the game.
