There wasn't a whole lot of good to take away from the San Francisco 49ers' 24-20 defeat against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday afternoon, and fans may not be ready to look at that game yet. Images of quarterback Kyler Murray evading 49ers defenders or wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins torching defensive backs may still be fresh in your minds.

But how about just one memorable play? And maybe not the one you would first expect.

No, it's not running back Raheem Mostert reaching a speed of nearly 23 MPH in a 76-yard touchdown run. It's a block by new 49ers left tackle Trent Williams, who absolutely obliterated Cardinals linebacker Jordan Hicks on an end-around run by tight end George Kittle.

The play caught the eye of former NFL offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz, who posted it on Twitter for everyone to enjoy.

Update: The video was deleted, so here is another post that featured the block.

"This is incredible. I can't stop watching," wrote Schwartz.

Williams and the 49ers look to rebound from Sunday's season-opening loss with back-to-back road wins at MetLife Stadium over the next two Sundays.
