The San Francisco 49ers have agreed with the NFL and Arizona Cardinals to play their Week 13 and 14 scheduled home games at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.
Santa Clara County officials issued directives barring the Niners from playing at their home, Levi’s Stadium, in response to rising cases of coronavirus in the area. The rules take effect Monday and will last until Dec. 21. The team also practices at that site.
The 49ers have home games scheduled for Dec. 7 against Buffalo and Dec. 13 against Washington.
The matchup against the Bills is set to be featured in prime-time on Monday Night Football.
