The storyline
The team that has dominated the NFC West the past few years meets the team that was supposed to win it this season -- with absolutely nothing at stake.

Why you should watch
It's Monday night. There's nothing else on. And Kurt Warner is off "Dancing With The Stars" now, so maybe he sneaks into the Cards' locker room and dons a jersey?

Did you know?
Niners RB Frank Gore has 10 rushing TDs in his last eight games against the Cardinals. ... San Francisco's Justin Smith has three sacks in his past three games. ... Cardinals RB Beanie Wells has a rushing TD in five straight division games. ... Arizona's Joey Porter is third among active players with 97 sacks.
