3. 49ers Force 3 Turnovers

San Francisco is an aggressive defense by nature. Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh has the unit flying around and hitting hard. This leads to sacks, forced fumbles, and interceptions. All three will be in play during their Week 1 game against the Cardinals.

This will be the second year for Cardinals’ head coaches Kliff Kingsbury and quarterback Kyler Murray. The two were brought in as a pair to turn around the franchise and make them an offensive powerhouse. As a rookie, Murray threw 12 interceptions.

The Cardinals’ offense is fast-paced and likes to throw the football. There will be plenty of opportunities for the 49ers’ to make plays and blow up the offensive plan for Arizona.

When the pass rush gets to Murray, he likes to use his legs to move out of the pocket to make a play. This could lead to some poor decisions and bad plays. Whether it is fumbles or interceptions, the 49ers will force the Cardinals to make some mistakes in game one.
