BOX SCORE SANTA CLARA — Once again, the 49ers let a seemingly comfortable lead against an NFC West opponent wilt away. The Arizona Cardinals came back from a 13-point deficit to capitalize on the 49ers' mistakes for a 24-23 upset victory on Sunday at Levi's Stadium.

Mason fumbled at the Arizona 9-yard line. .@AZCardinals force a fumble and recover in the red zone! : #AZvsSF on FOX: https://t.co/waVpO909ge pic.twitter.com/rgMam1L5Br— NFL (@NFL) October 6, 2024 Then, Mason appeared to miss a blitz pickup that forced quarterback Brock Purdy into an interception on the 49ers' final chance.
