Cardinals vs. 49ers Week 11 Q&A preview

Niners Wire’s Kyle Madson answers some questions leading up to the game.

The Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers face one another in a Week 11 NFC West battle. The two met in Week 9, and the 49ers won 28-25.

What can we look forward to in Week 11?

To get some insight about the 49ers, I got together with Niners Wire managing editor Kyle Madson and asked him a few questions.

The Cardinals saw Jimmy Garoppolo at his best when they last played. Can we expect to see a similar game this weekend in Santa Clara?

Not as long as George Kittle is out and Emmanuel Sanders is banged up. Those two are both exceptionally talented at their best, and combined for 13 catches, 191 yards and two touchdowns vs. the Cardinals. With Kittle out and Sanders limited, the 49ers are down their top two pass catchers, and they become easier to defend at other spots. I expect to see San Francisco try and get their run game going more effectively than they did last game, and use Garoppolo to convert third downs and make some plays in the red zone before they drop him back 37 times again.
