Arizona Cardinals

Marcus Mariota struggled mightily against the Cardinals, continuing on a disappointing season in which many expected him to take a step forward.

The Cardinals travel to Washington to face the Washington Football Franchise.

San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers won against the Houston Texans, 26-16. With the Texans quarterback hurt and allowed to go back in, the concussion story dominated the game, more so than the strong play of Jimmy Garoppolo and Marquise Goodwin.

The 49ers host the Titans next week.
