McCaffrey scores 3 TDs and 49ers clinch NFC West with 45-29 rout of Cardinals for 6th straight win
— San Francisco clinched its second straight NFC West title, getting three touchdowns from Christian McCaffrey to beat Arizona for its sixth straight win.
Charvarius Ward had two interceptions, including a pick-6, for the 49ers (11-3). Brock Purdy went 16 of 25 for 242 yards and tied a career high with four touchdown passes.
The Niners have won each of their past six games by at least 12 points. They’ve also won 12 straight against NFC West opponents.
McCaffrey finished with five catches for 72 yards and two touchdowns while also running for 115 yards and a score.
Kyler Murray completed 26 of 39 passes for 211 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions for the Cardinals (3-11), who fell to 2-3 since he returned from an ACL tear.
Sunday marks head coach Kyle Shanahan's third division title since taking over as the 49ers head coach in 2017. In 2019, San Francisco marched to the Super Bowl after winning the division, and last season, it advanced to the NFC Championship Game.
