The NFL heads back to Mexico City this week as the 49ers and Cardinals prepare to clash at the famous Estadio Azteca. It’s the fourth time the stadium has hosted an NFL game, and the second time these two teams have clashed south of the border.
The 49ers are riding a two-game winning streak, having taken down the Rams and Chargers. Christian McCaffrey has hit the ground running (literally) since being acquired from the Panthers in Week 7. He has racked up four total touchdowns in the last two games, and he’ll be looking for more against a shaky Cardinals defense.

On the other side, the Cardinals picked up a 27-17 win over the Rams last time out despite missing starting quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring). Colt McCoy got the start in Murray’s place but suffered a knee injury in the win. Murray has been ruled out once again tonight, so McCoy will be looking for a second straight win under center.

49ers vs. Cardinals live updates, highlights from ‘Monday Night Football’
All times Eastern.
8:41 p.m. β For the second time in a row, the 49ers do a great job on special teams to down the punt near the goal line. The crowd in Mexico City is loving that.

8:39 p.m. β After two more short gains by McCaffrey, the Niners face 3rd and 2. They had it off to Deebo on a jet sweep, but the Cardinals are all over it and they shove him out of bounds short of the line to gain! This will be another punt for Kyle Shanahan’s offense.
8:38 p.m. β San Francisco gets the ball back, and on the first play of the drive McCaffrey makes a catch for a gain of 11 yards to move the chains.
Cardinals 3, 49ers 0
8:33 p.m. FIELD GOAL β Despite the rain drops, Prater’s kick sneaks inside the left upright to give Arizona an early lead.

8:32 p.m. β Another incompletion brings up 4th down, and Matt Prater will come out for a field goal try.
8:31 p.m. β McCoy takes a deep shot to the end zone, but it’s just out of the reach of tight end Stephen Anderson. Niners corner Charvarius Ward looks like he may have been out of breath after that play, could be the altitude already having an impact.
8:29 p.m. β After Hopkins makes another catch for a solid gain, James Conner catches a short pass and rumbles for a gain of 8. The Cardinals have the football around the Niners’ 30-yard line.
8:28 p.m. β Facing another 3rd down, this time McCoy makes a nice throw to Hopkins for a gain of 17 yards. That could help kickstart this offense.
8:21 p.m. β Christian McCaffrey runs for a short gain on 1st down, then Garoppolo’s first pass of the night falls incomplete. On 3rd and 8, Garoppolo goes deep left for receiver Jauan Jennings, but he tripped over his own feet and that’ll fall incomplete as well. The night begins with back-to-back three-and-outs.
8:18 p.m. β Terrible start to the night for Arizona. An opening sweep play gets blown up for a big loss, then after a short catch by DeAndre Hopkins , a McCoy incompletion brings up 4th and 10. Punt upcoming.
8:16 p.m. β We are underway, with the Niners kicking off first to the Cardinals’ offense.
8:15 p.m. β Right on the stroke of kickoff, the rain has started to really come down. Just a reminder, Estadio Azteca is situated at a whopping 7,200 feet above sea level. The air is thinner, and that’ll probably result in some more tired than usual players.
8:11 p.m. β It’s a cool and rainy night in Mexico’s capital city. Kickoff is drawing closer for this NFC West battle.
8:10 p.m. β Compare that to the reaction the Niners got… Their fans travel well.

8:01 p.m. β Colt McCoy prepares to start his second straight game for Arizona. His first one went pretty well, ending in a win over the Rams.

What time is the NFL game tonight?
