Robbie Gould accounts for all of 49er scoring

Robbie Gould went a perfect 5-for-5 in field-goal attempts, accounting for all of San Francisco's scoring in the 49ers' 18-15 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.

Fantasy Implications: In a game that saw no touchdowns scored in regulation time, Gould was able to convert field-goals of 49, 39, 47, and 48 yards, equaling Arizona kicker Phil Dawson's 4-for-4 perfect day, sending the game into overtime tied 12-12.  The 49ers later in the overtime period had a first-and-goal at the Arizona eight-yard line, but had to settle for Gould's 23 yard field goal, putting San Francisco ahead 15-12. Arizona then won the game on the ensuing seven-play 75 yard drive, culminated by Carson Palmer's 19-yard pass to Larry Fitzgerald. Gould is now a perfect 11-for-11 on field-goal attempts this year, and has now successfully converted 28 straight field-goal attempts, a streak that goes back to the 2015 season.
