The 49ers took the lead over the Cardinals in just one offensive play, setting the tone early in the game. Wide receiver Skyy Moore electrified the crowd by returning the opening kickoff 98 yards, putting the Niners in prime position right from the start.
Following Moore’s impressive return, running back Christian McCaffrey punched in the final yard for a touchdown on the very next play. This quick sequence made the score 7-0 with only 16 seconds elapsed on the clock in Arizona.
Quarterback Brock Purdy handed the ball off to McCaffrey, marking McCaffrey’s return after missing the last five games due to a toe injury. The 98-yard kickoff return was the longest of Moore’s career and was just about as far as a player can return a kickoff without it resulting in a touchdown.
McCaffrey’s touchdown was his fifth rushing touchdown of the season, adding momentum to the 49ers early in the game.
