\-- Quarterback Jacoby Brissett has thrown eight touchdown passes in his four starts – the most TD passes in a QB's first four starts in franchise history.
\-- Brissett's performance on third downs remains good. He has a 127.2 passer rating on such downs, and of his 25 third-down completions, 14 have been for at least 10 yards.
\-- Tight end Trey McBride had a hurdle last week. Yes, he continues to say he doesn't want to hurdle. But the one in Seattle came on a fourth down play, and he saw the sticks. "I didn't want to lower my shoulder and go through them, so I went up and over them and it worked out this time."
\-- McBride isn't just [on a hot streak scoring touchdowns](https://www.azcardinals.com/news/touchdown-trey-mcbride-has-found-way-to-find-end-zone). He is up to 11 straight games with at least five catches in each. The franchise record is 13 by Larry Fitzgerald.
"I didn't even know it was a stat at all until last week when someone told me," McBride said. "I go out, play the best I can, and I am fortunate the ball has found me five-plus times the past few games. That's not always the case. It's hard to get open, takes time and work to get (opportunities), but hopefully I can continue to build that streak and get it to where it is unbreakable."
\-- For a second straight game, rookie Cody Simon will call the defensive plays at inside linebacker in place of the injured Mack Wilson Sr. Simon had played three defensive snaps all season before he was forced to play 20 at the end of the Cowboys game following Wilson's injury.
Last week, he played every snap – 61.
"I was anticipating it, the workload, so I was hydrating and everything," Simon said. "I always try to prepare to play that many snaps. I was one play away from playing that many snaps anyway.
"It's challenging but that's what you practice for. That's the job. I've always been the linebacker, and I've always been the guy that talks the most. I almost lose my voice but it's part of the job description."
\-- The 49ers will have local prep hero Brock Purdy back at quarterback Sunday. He missed the teams' first meeting with a toe injury. Fellow local prep hero Ricky Pearsall – who lit up the Cardinals with 8 catches for 117 yards – is also back from injury after missing six games.
\-- Back to black uniforms Sunday. If you were wondering.
\-- The last word goes to Calais Campbell, who is playing his 80th game at State Farm Stadium on Sunday:
"We know when we are playing our best football we can hang with anybody. We can beat anybody. The question is, what brand of football can we deliver on a consistent basis for a 60-minute ballgame? We had a good week of practice, but in this NFL business, it's what have you done for me lately. You have to go out and prove it evert week."
