Watch: 49ers’ Charvarius Ward intercepts Kyler Murray for pick-six vs. Cardinals

Quickly after Deebo Samuel got the 49ers on the board against the Cardinals, the defense got involved for a score of their own.

After the Arizona Cardinals landed an opening punch against the San Francisco 49ers with a touchdown on the opening drive of the game, the defense responded on the next drive.

Quickly after Deebo Samuel walked in a 12-yard touchdown reception, the San Francisco defense got involved in the scoring. After a pair of near-turnover worthy plays, the San Francisco defense made sure to get a turnover on the third try.

Kyler Murray tossed an arrant throw over the middle of the field that fell into the hands of 49ers corner Charvarius Ward. Once Ward got the ball in his hands, he didn’t let it go until he surged past the goal line for a pick six to give the 49ers a 14-7 lead in the first half.
