The Arizona Cardinals defeated the San Francisco 49ers on the road by a score of 20-10.
How did Twitter react to the game?
It all started, sadly, with yet ANOTHER missed Phil Dawson field goal:

With the Niners having 16 players on injured reserve and Arizona featuring the same with Palmer and David Johnson on IR, some fans pointed out how unlucky the two teams’ seasons have been.
Daryl Johnston: "I don't know a team that's been hit harder by injuries than the 49ers."

Drew Stanton was solid in his performance, extending plays and tossing two touchdowns.
The TDs are nice but Drew Stanton needs to be following them up with the Stanton dance if he wants to be a true No. 1 QB in this league.

The Niners and Beathard, meanwhile...really struggled.
In honor of Daylight Savings ending, the #49ers are setting the game of football back 50 years #AZvsSF

At least Seattle's losing.

Late in the game Andre Ellington had a...catch?
No idea what they will call this because i don’t know what a catch is.

And Drew Stanton ran a read-option play for a clutch first-down that allowed Dawson to kick a field goal for a two score AZ lead:

Then suddenly, after a hit on the quarterback from Antoine Bethea, fights broke out everywhere!

4 players were tossed from the game and the Cardinals got another win with Drew Stanton off of the 20th interception of Karlos Dansby’s career, putting him in an elite club of players with 40 sacks and 20 interceptions.
Karlos Dansby’s 20th career interception should seal this.

He’s a legend.
Still my favorite gif. Never change, @drewstanton https://t.co/6gmfTRx4Xf

But of course, the tweet of the day from this sloppy game from two hampered teams goes to...
Disappointing news from Levi's Stadium, as both teams have taken the field for the second half.
