Tonight, the San Francisco 49ers will be playing against the Arizona Cardinals in their last game of the 2022 NFL regular season. The 49ers will be hosting the Cardinals in their home stadium as they look to close out what has been a top-notch regular season, to say the least.
The season started on a sour note, as recently chosen franchise quarterback Trey Lance suffered a season-ending injury in the first game. The 49ers subsequently lost that game to the Chicago Bears. Looking back, it was the ugliest of losses. However, the side kept that from distracting them from the main goal, and the coaching staff recalled Jimmy Garoppolo to the starting lineup.
A couple of weeks, a Jimmy Garoppolo Injury, and the rise of Brock Purdy later, the 49ers' have an outside chance of securing number one seed in the NFC Conference.
Tonight, Brock Purdy will be starting at QB for the San Francisco 49ers against a demotivated Arizona Cardinals side that has long been eliminated from playoff contention. This will serve as 'Mr. Irrelevant's' sixth consecutive start for the home team, and San Francisco 49ers fans will look forward to yet another win.
The 49ers are not likely to rest any player, as the side has a lot to play for. Some players will be watching on the bench, observing all the proceedings, just in case something comes up, nobody more than a certain two-time Super Bowl champion.
How was Jimmy Garoppolo performing this season?
Jimmy Garoppolo had a career year before he suffered an unfortunate foot injury in a mid-season fixture. Jimmy G was showcasing the form that Bill Belichick pegged him as the long-term replacement for Tom Brady back in the day.
The former New England Patriot was having a great time on the Gridiron, improving his stock in the process and making the San Francisco front office look silly for wanting to push him out of the building.
Jimmy G had a solid stat line before he went down with a foot injury. He accumulated a stat line of 2,437 passing yards, 16 touchdowns, and four interceptions in 11 games. Garoppolo will be hoping to appear for the 49ers at some stage of the postseason if they make it that far.
How is Brock Purdy performing this season?
Brock Purdy has been the quarterback revelation in the 2022 NFL Draft class. The 23-year-old has stepped into the shoes of both Trey Lance and Jimmy G admirably, and has thrived in that role.
Purdy is even getting a couple of Tom Brady comparisons while he's at it, which is the highest praise you can give a young NFL quarterback. Purdy will start the game against the Cardinals, as he looks poised to lead the San Francisco 49ers on a deep playoff run.
How are the San Francisco 49ers performing this season?
The San Francisco 49ers are having a great season and are on their way to getting another postseason appearance. They look better than they did at this stage last season. The 49ers have a stunning offensive core, a solid defensive unit, and several options in the QB department.
The San Francisco 49ers are currently on a nine-game winning streak which started with a spanking of defending Super Bowl champions, the Los Angeles Rams. They have beaten many contenders along the way, the most impressive being the demolition of the Tom Brady-led Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
They beat the Bucs 35-7 in a monumental whooping. The 49ers (12-4) close out the season with a game against the Arizona Cardinals, and their fans will be hoping for a spectacular send-off.
