The Niners face a team playing a third game in 11 days. They better take advantage.
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy walks off the field after throwing an interception in the fourth quarter of their NFL game at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Sunday, Oct. 6, 2024. The Arizona Cardinals defeated the San Francisco 49ers 24-23. At 2-3, the Niners’ situation isn’t inherently dire.
Seattle is down two top pass rushers, they’re on their third-string right tackle, and they have question marks up and down a defense that has allowed 71 points in its last two games.The Niners aren’t exactly spring chickens going into Thursday, but having come into this abnormal week off a normal Monday-to-Sunday schedule, they travel north with an advantage.
They had better grab that momentum now because after Thursday, the Niners’ schedule is hellacious. The squads mentioned above join five more playoff teams on the slate. The three other games on the docket are against the Bears and two more division games with the Seahawks and Cardinals.San Francisco 49ers |Kurtenbach: The 49ers’ chaotic September did provide this bit of clarity
Even after this weekend’s “mini-bye” following a Thursday night game, the Chiefs will still be the more-rested team in the team’s Week 7 game — kansas City will be coming off a whole bye week when they arrive in Santa Clara on Oct. 20. I know Christian McCaffrey, who has missed the Niners’ first five games and will miss a sixth on Thursday, is the NFL’s reigning offensive player of the year, but not even adding him to the lineup can overcome the addition of all that rest disadvantage.
