49ers’ schedule: Plenty of prime-time exposure despite last season’s dip (paywall)
“The 49ers will visit the Seahawks in their season opener on Sept. 7 before traveling to face the Saints, marking the fourth time since 2019 that they’ll open with back-to-back road games. In addition, they’ll play five road games with 10 a.m. West Coast kickoffs, three more than last year, and will play 13 straight games before their Week 14 bye, which is the NFL’s latest bye week. The 49ers have enjoyed a Week 9 bye — at the midpoint of the season — in each of the previous three years.
