SANTA CLARA, California (AP) " Arizona's Drew Stanton threw two touchdown passes to Larry Fitzgerald in his first start in two years as the Cardinals capitalized on San Francisco mistakes and recorded a 33-21 road win on Thursday. The Cardinals (2-3) got 17 points off three turnovers by the 49ers (1-4) " two interceptions by San Francisco quarterback Blaine Gabbert and a fumbled kickoff return by Chris Davis " and also had one drive extended by a running-into-the-kicker penalty. Those three scoring drives totaled just 41 yards, but proved to be enough to beat the sloppy 49ers as the Cardinals survived a week without concussed starting quarterback Carson Palmer. Calais Campbell's interception of a deflected pass set up Arizona's first score on a 21-yard pass from Stanton to Fitzgerald late in the second quarter. Davis' fumble of the second-half kickoff then set up Johnson's 4-yard run that put Arizona up for good.
