A new SB Nation poll found confidence in the Arizona Cardinals falling after a loss: belief the team was headed in the right direction dropped nearly 30% from 85% last week, while 64% of respondents don't expect it to compete with San Francisco.
FanDuel Sportsbook listed Arizona as an 8.5-point underdog against the 49ers, compared with 4.5 points the previous week. The article linked the shift in confidence to what it called the Cardinals' worst offensive performance in a decade when starters are healthy, and a loss despite the defense facing a backup quarterback.
