GLENDALE, ARIZ. (AP) -- The Arizona Cardinals have their first Monday night victory since moving to the desert 20 years ago.
Clark Haggans stopped Michael Robinson at the one yard line as time expired as the Cardinals held on to beat San Francisco 29-24 in Glendale.
Kurt Warner threw three touchdown passes for the 6-and-3 Cardinals including the go-ahead 5-yard scoring toss to Anquan Boldin with 4:16 remaining.
The 49ers grabbed the early lead when Allen Rossum returned the opening kickoff 104 yards for a touchdown. Sean Hill threw a pair of touchdown passes for the Niners who never trailed until Boldin's go-ahead score.
Warner completed 32-of-42 for 328 yards and three TDs. Arizona improves to 6-and-3 and opens a four-game lead in the NFC West. It was the Cardinals' sixth consecutive home victory and fourth this season.
Hill started for the benched J.T. O'Sullivan and completed 19-of-40 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns. But he was picked off twice and lost a fumble.
The 49ers lose their sixth straight and fall to 2-and-7.
