The San Francisco 49ers play their second straight home game later this week, facing the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday Night Football. The matchup kicks off at 5:30 p.m. PT, and will be broadcast nationally on CBS. The lead official for the game will be Carl Cheffers. Last week, his crew handled Seahawks-Jets. They called seven penalties on each team, with 71 yards against the Seahawks, and 60 yards against the Jets.
The 49ers remain among the NFL’s leaders in fewest penalties against. Opponents have accepted 17 penalties for 127 yards against the 49ers. That is the fewest yards, and the second fewest penalties (the Packers have 15 penalties in three games with a bye last week).
