Live-Blogging: San Francisco 49ers vs. Arizona Cardinals 11/21/2022

Hello, and welcome to another edition of ‘Live-Blogging Shish on Professional Football’. Tonight, it is a NFC West Showdown in Mexico City, as San Francisco 49ers take on Arizona Cardinals.

49ers know who they are as a team. They have playmakers on both sides of the ball and have a good quarterback in Jimmy Garoppolo. San Francisco went out and got Christian McCaffery. And now the 5-Time Super Bowl Champions will be looking for #6, as they make a run for another Lombardi Trophy.

The chances for the Arizona Cardinals to join Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Los Angeles Rams as host teams who play in the Super Bowl is looking bleak. But they would like to stay in the NFC Playoff Picture.

Currently, the Niners have the final playoff spot. While Cardinals are in 11th, with Commanders, Falcons, and Lions, between Arizona and San Francisco.

It is San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals, coming up shortly.
