49ERS HOLD ON: San Francisco Beats Cardinals 36-30 But Win Costly...

San Francisco's 36-30 victory over Arizona left the 49ers celebrating a win but examining their injury report with concern. Close games against playoff-contending teams often come with a physical toll, and depth issues can compound as a season progresses. The Cardinals stayed competitive throughout, suggesting San Francisco's defense faced real offensive firepower and may have taken hits trying to contain it. For the 49ers, winning close road games is valuable, but the question becomes whether they can sustain their performance if key players miss time.
