McBride, returning from an injury that sidelined him in Week 4, bounced back with a solid performance, recording six receptions for 53 yards against the 49ers. The 24-year-old tight end is averaging 43.8 receiving yards per game this season, just shy of his 48.5 yards per game from last year.
The Cardinals, riding high after their win, have an opportunity to claim first place in the NFC West for the first time since 2021 if they can secure a victory over the Green Bay Packers this Sunday.
