Starting with the game day checklist where I go over three things that I think the 49ers must do in order to get the win here against Arizona.

When I was thinking about the game day checklist, this popped to mind immediately.

The 49ers have, I believe, just the one turnover so far on the year that brought Purdy interception in Week 1.


turnover margin or turnover differential right is zero for the Cardinals in week two but in week one the Cardinals had zero turnovers and the Chargers had two meaning the Cardinals are plus two turnover differential on the year and that was the difference between the win and the loss in those two weeks right turnovers especially stupid ones especially ill-timed ones are going to allow the Cardinals to just kind of hang around and the longer they hang around the more likely they are to win.

And then in the second half, kind of all hell breaks loose, right? But you know, we got to limit the turnovers.

I think that this defense is bad enough that he'll be able to avoid one if he plays like he was playing against Miami.

If he's surgical and if he's on time and if he's not forcing throws or anything like that, I think he'll be just fine.

I think there's a chance that if things start to go pretty poorly, they might chuck up some interceptions, right? Maybe Jacoby Brissett gives another one to this Niners defense.

Remember, the Niners only had six interceptions last year across the entire season.

But it's really, it's more important that the offense takes care of the football, I think.
