PHOENIX - The Arizona Cardinals rallied for a 29-24 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Monday to open up a four-game lead in the NFC West.

Arizona (6-3) trailed the whole game until Kurt Warner hit Anquan Boldin with a 4-yard touchdown pass 4:16 from time to inflict the 49ers' (2-7) sixth loss in a row.

Warner threw three touchdown passes as the Cardinals finally subdued the 49ers, for whom Allen Rossum returned the opening kickoff 104 yards for a touchdown.

San Francisco had a last chance to win but was stopped on the Arizona 1-yard line on the game's final play.
