The San Francisco 49ers improved to 4-0 with a dominant performance against the Arizona Cardinals, winning 35-16 via a four-touchdown performance from Christian McCaffrey and an outstanding day from quarterback Brock Purdy, who broke the franchise record for completion percentage in a single game with 20+ attempts.
However, one offensive performance that went a little under the radar was the dominance of wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who caught six passes for a career-high 148 yards, including two catches of 30+ yards (42 and 34 yards respectively).
Aiyuk now has two 100-yard performances through the first four weeks, following up his eight-catch, 129-yard, and two-touchdown Week 1 game with a career day against the Cardinals on Sunday.
The emerging wideout is now up to 320 yards and two touchdowns on 17 receptions through three games, averaging a whopping 18.8 yards per target with Purdy as his quarterback.
In the offseason, there were arguments about the level of Aiyuk and Purdy's connection given Purdy's potential deep ball issues, but the duo put that to rest in training camp, and followed that up in Week 4 with two deep completions and a plethora of catches.
The 49ers will look to continue their offensive dominance in Week 5 when they face off against the Dallas Cowboys, who just shut down the New England Patriots 38-3 to improve to 3-1 on the season.
