The New York Giants might be spared from another potentially embarrassing result in primetime. They’re currently set to play on Monday Night Football, but that could be delayed until a future date because of wildfires, a familiar natural disaster for those in Northern California. While the Rams and Raiders are both expected to play their games on Sunday, the Monday Night Football matchup between the Giants and the 49ers may be postponed, or relocated elsewhere.
The reason is air quality, and the 49ers have already been forced to change practice times to deal with it. They practiced an hour earlier on Friday to avoid the conditions that would arrive later, and the Raiders didn’t run a full contact practice at all on the same day because of the air quality around their facility.
