The 2024 NFL schedule was released on Thursday, with the San Francisco 49ers receiving their full set of dates for the upcoming season.

As expected, the 49ers got the maximum number of primetime games, playing twice on Monday Night, Thursday Night Football, and Sunday Night Football each for a total of six opportunities.

However, one area where the 49ers are at a disadvantage is net rest differential, and it’s at a historic rate.

Reporting on the rest difference versus opponents for the 2024 season, ESPN’s Brian Burke revealed that the 49ers have the third-worst net rest differential of any team since 2002.
