Niners melt down, again, as red-zone woes continue



It was over 100 degrees inside Levi’s Stadium Sunday.

Hot enough for a season to melt away.

The 49ers now stand at 2-3 after yet another late-game choke job loss, this time to the Arizona Cardinals, who won 24-23.

Here are the studs and duds from the game.

STUDS 💪

Brandon Aiyuk • WR

» That’s what a $30 million wide receiver looks like.

While it’s unsurprising it took Aiyuk some time to round into form, that doesn’t make it any less frustrating.

Sunday, he was frustrating the Cardinals, ripping off a 53-yard gain on the first play of the Niners’ second drive, setting up a field goal, and adding three more chunk-yard catches to set up the Niners’ first touchdown of the game. He had four catches for 91 yards in the first quarter and ended the game with eight catches for 147 yards.

“It went his way today,” Brock Purdy said of Aiyuk.

Nick Bosa • DE

» He turned in a dominant performance, highlighted by a brilliant interception where he read a screen play, stopped his rush, and had Kyler Murray throw him the ball.

He remains a singular force, though it should be noted he was burned on a Murray read-option that set up the game-winning field goal.

Jordan Elliott • DT

» The defensive end’s blocked field goal, which Deommodore Lenoir returned 61 yards to the end-zone, was the game’s highlight for the Niners. It’s a shame we won’t remember it in a few weeks.
