Two weeks after faltering on the road to the Los Angeles Rams, the 49ers blew another 10-point lead and exited with a 24-23 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, who went ahead on Chad Ryland’s 35-yard field goal with 1 1/2 minutes to go.
As the Bay Area heat wave continued, temperatures on the field reached nearly 115 degrees.
The 49ers now have their quickest turnaround yet this season, with a visit Thursday night to first-place Seattle (3-2). Winning there could vault the 49ers from last place to a share of first, so, yes, it’s early enough to quickly turn the proverbial page after a bad loss.
The team is now 0-2 in NFC West action, having turned a 24-14 lead at Los Angeles into a 27-24 defeat two weeks ago.
“That’s all we talked about in (the locker room). We’d love to sit here and get pissed, but you can’t do anything about them when they end,” coach Kyle Shanahan said. “I told the guys next time we can do something about it is Thursday.”
