Today's Cardinals vs 49ers live stream has Arizona in unfamiliar territory as they are coming off their first loss the season and today will be without their MVP candidate QB. Meanwhile, San Francisco is looking to this NFL live stream will not be a repeat of their week five matchup.

The Cardinals (7-1) were the NFL's last undefeated team standing when they hosted the Packers in week eight for Thursday night football. Despite Green Bay being short-handed, Arizona fell, 24-21. 

In the loss, quarterback Kyler Murray, an MVP candidate this season, injured his left ankle on the last play of the game. As a result, Murray is inactive today. Veteran backup QB Colt McCoy will get the start for the Cardinals, marking his first start since  week 14 of last season when he was with the Giants.

The 49ers (3-4) are hoping the second time's the charge as they take on the Cardinals for the second time this season. San Francisco lost at Arizona in week five, 17-10. In that game, Trey Lance got the start as Jimmy Garoppolo was dealing with a calf injury. 

The 30-year-old Garoppolo has posted a 115.9 passer rating in four career starts against the Cardinals going 3-1 with 11 touchdowns and just 2 interceptions. 

On the ground, the 49ers will hope running back Elijah Mitchell will have more success than he did in week five where he ran for just 43 yards. The rookie sixth-round pick is coming off a huge game against the Bears where he ran for 137 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries. 

The 49ers are 4-point road favorites against the Cardinals. The over/under is 44.5. 

Cardinals Inactives: Kyler Murray (QB), Deandrea Hopkins (WR), Kevin Peterson (CB), Jonathan Ward (RB), James Wiggins (S)

49ers Inactives:  Trey Sermon (RB),  Travis Benjamin (WR),  Jimmie Ward (S),  Deommodore Lenoir (CB), Aaron Banks (OL), Maurice Hurst (DL), Charles Omenihu (DL)
