GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Rested Arizona faces reeling San Francisco on Sunday, and a Cardinals loss would be the biggest pratfall yet in a season already crowded with disappointment.The Cardinals (3-4-1) came out of their bye week insisting that their season still can be a success. But theyve lost one more game than they did all of last season and, after facing the 49ers (1-7), Arizona plays five of its final seven games on the road.I know people dont want to hear it and probably wont believe it, Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer said, but I like where we are. Were the underdog. Were going to come out fighting, and Im excited to watch us on Sunday nights and what happens these eight weeks.Arizona certainly wont be an underdog Sunday. The Cardinals are double-digit favorites against a San Francisco team that hasnt won since the season opener.I lost seven games when I was in college (in four seasons at Oregon), 49ers coach Chip Kelly said, but every one of those losses is a gut-wrenching one. Weve lost seven games this season, and every one of those losses is a gut-wrenching one.So, you approach it very clear, very kind of analytical, in terms of what you did well, and well continue to build upon that, and what we did poorly and find out the solution to correct it.Here are some things to look for when the 49ers face the Cardinals.IMPROVING OFFENSE VS. TOP DEFENSE: San Francisco ranks 29th in the NFL in offense (314.5 yards per game) and will go up against an Arizona defense that leads the league, allowing 297 yards per game. But the 49ers offense had its best day of the season last Sunday in a 41-23 home loss to New Orleans, rolling up 486 yards, most by a San Francisco team in three seasons. Colin Kaepernick, in his third start since taking over from Blaine Gabbert, threw for 393 yards, second most of his career.I think its getting back into a rhythm, Kaepernick said. It had been almost a full year since I had been back really in live action in games. So it just took a little bit to get comfortable really. Now that comfort is starting to come back.BAD SCENE: Kaepernick will be returning to the scene of what he called probably the worst game of my career. That was Sept. 27 of last year, when two of his first four passes were intercepted and returned for touchdowns, one by Justin Bethel, the other by Tyrann Mathieu.In all, Kaepernick was intercepted four times in a 47-7 Arizona romp.Its a good opportunity to go back, redeem myself and try to help this team get back on track, he said.RUNNING WILD: Arizona running back David Johnson should love this matchup. Not only are the 49ers last in the NFL in run defense, theyve allowed a 100-yard rusher for seven consecutive games. Thats the longest streak ever in the NFL, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.Johnson ran for 157 yards and two TDs in a 33-21 Arizona victory at San Francisco on Oct. 8. Johnson leads the NFL in yards from scrimmage and was the NFC offensive player of the month for October.HARRIS CHANCE: San Francisco running back DuJuan Harris is making the most of his opportunity to play. He shuttled among eight teams since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2011, and bounced on and off the practice squad and active roster earlier this year in San Francisco.But Harris has gained 195 yards from scrimmage the past two weeks with starter Carlos Hyde slowed by a shoulder injury.I think hes dynamic as a runner, offensive coordinator Curtis Modkins said. I think hes strong, hes shifty, hes got good lateral quickness. I think he sees it well. Hes got to still learn, like all of them, patience. When to be patient and when not to, but the kid no doubt has a lot of ability as a runner. A lot of natural run instincts.LINE QUESTION: Palmer sat out Arizonas earlier game against the 49ers with a concussion and is coming off his best passing game of the season, throwing for 363 yards and two touchdown in Arizonas 30-20 loss at Carolina two Sundays ago. But he was sacked a season-worst eight times.Now he must survive without left tackle Jared Veldheer, out for the season with torn triceps. John Wetzel, who never played in a game as a pro before this season, will get his second NFL start.---AP Sports Writer Josh Dubow in San Francisco contributed to this report---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Camiseta Sergi Roberto .

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Finally, some good news for the scuffling Chicago Bears: Quarterback Jay Cutler will return from a thumb injury to play against the Minnesota Vikings on Oct. 31.Whether its too late for Cutler to salvage something for the Bears (1-6) -- or perhaps his own career in Chicago -- remain valid questions.I think hes been at the bit for a while, coach John Fox said Monday. I think anytime you cant play as a competitor, as a player, obviously thats hard and I think he handled it great.Fox said team doctors cleared Cutler to play over the weekend. His return comes at an opportune time since backup Brian Hoyer broke his left arm against Green Bay on Thursday night and had surgery. He was placed on injured reserve, and the Bears have not ruled out picking up another quarterback.Matt Barkley replaced Hoyer in the loss at Green Bay.Cutler completed 28 of 46 for 373 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions in a game and a half before his thumb sprain against Philadelphia in a 29-14 loss Sept. 19. He had a passer rating of 75.7Hoyer completed 134 of 200 for 1,445 yards with six touchdowns and a passer rating of 98.0. His 200 attempts without an interception are only five shy of the franchise record set in 2008 by Kyle Orton. While Hoyer was playing, Fox was asked if Cutler would return as starter when he healed and said the starting position would be performance-based.Fox sought to clarify his statement Monday.Some things that I say go somewhere that I wasnt really intending, he said. At the end of the day, obviously, Jays our starter. He was injured, not permitted to play medically. And now that hes healed, hes back to being our starter.Thats really the facts and kind of what happened and where were at now. So I dont know that there was a competition to speak of. Just like there wasnt a competition when Matt Barkley went in, he was our only quarterback left. So its good to have Jay back. Weere excited to have him back and hopefully he can remain healthy.ddddddddddddIts been speculated often that Cutler and Chicago may part ways after this season. Fox doesnt think the talk will affect Cutler.I think all that for everybody is tough, Fox said. I think everybody realizes what they signed up for. Obviously as a coach and a staff youre always trying to help your players through stuff like that, but one thing Ive found in Jay in the time Ive been here is that hes very tough-minded and resilient.Fox said Cutler worked with offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains and Hoyer throughout his injury.Now its a matter of getting back in sync with teammates on the field.Center Cody Whitehair said there could be a slight adjustment made in terms of Cutler taking snaps instead of Hoyer, but not much else.We dont really play into that much; whichevers back there, were going to try and do our best to protect them and do our thing on the run, Whitehair said. But you know, it is nice to have him back. Hes been a leader on the sideline even while he wasnt playing and itll be nice to have him back out there.Game notes Fox said right guard Kyle Long suffered a triceps strain in the Packer game, but didnt offer much detail on whether his play will be affected: Well continue to have time. Our first really day back to full practice is Thursday. ... The Bears promoted OL Cornelius Edison to the active roster, claimed TE Daniel Brown off waivers and RB waived Joique Bell. ... The Bears are in a stretch that has them playing one game in 23 days. Theyre hoping it allows numerous injured starters to heal, including nose tackle Eddie Goldman and running back Jeremy Langford. Both had high ankle sprains.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
