While some of the San Francisco 49ers‘ tougher challenges in 2019 appear to be ahead on the horizon in a few weeks, another under-the-radar challenge for head coach Kyle Shanahan and Co. will be to not stoop down to the level of their Week 9 opponent, the Arizona Cardinals, on Thursday Night Football.
Oh, and it’s also imperative the Niners absorb the short week and quick turnaround before heading to University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
The 7-0 49ers are riding high after their dominant 51-13 home win over the Carolina Panthers in Week 8, while the 3-4-1 Cardinals were walloped 31-9 on the road by the one-loss New Orleans Saints.
