On the first play of Arizona's next possession, defensive lineman Damontre Moore -- who signed with the 49ers earlier in the week -- forced a fumble that safety Jaquiski Tartt recovered.
The Cardinals had one last chance with six seconds remaining, but they fumbled following a hook-and-ladder play that D.J. Reed ultimately returned for a touchdown.
With the 36-26 win, the 49ers remain in first place in the NFC.
