The Cardinals are losing games and losing the discipline they had built under Jonathan Gannon
The Arizona Cardinals were not the NFL's most talented team during the second year of coach Jonathan Gannon's tenure, but they were among the most disciplined, committing the league's second-fewest penalties in 2024.
Arizona had the passing game working, but it didn't matter in a 41-22 loss to San Francisco at State Farm Stadium in Glendale.
Setting NFL records is cool - but winning is much cooler in the eyes of Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett. In the process of being routed by the San Francisco 49ers in Week 11, Brissett set an NFL record with 47 pass completions today.

The rookie fourth-rounder was busy in the second start of his NFL career, leading the Cardinals with 12 stops. With Mack Wilson (ribs) placed on injured reserve prior to Sunday's contest, Simon should serve as the Cardinals' starting middle linebacker for at least the next three games and for as long as the former is on IR.
Brock Purdy returned from a six-game absence to throw three touchdowns as the 49ers (7-4) romped to a 41-22 win over the host Cardinals (3-7).
