49ers rip Cardinals in Mexico

MEXICO CITY — As the final minute ticked off the clock, San Francisco quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo turned toward the crowd at Estadio Azteca and started clapping.

It was clear that the Mexico City crowd loved the 49ers. Jimmy G and the 49ers gave that love — and some really good football — right back.

Garoppolo threw four TD passes, including two each to Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle, and the 49ers won their third straight game by blowing past the Arizona Cardinals 38-10 on Monday night in Mexico City.

“The whole atmosphere tonight, I haven't played in anything like it,” Garoppolo said. “It was electric, the fans were nuts . ... It seemed like a soccer game at some points, just the passion they brought. It was really cool. I'd love to do it again.”
