San Francisco 49ers 2023 schedule: Heavy travel, early starts add a challenge

New York Times  

The 49ers will face a schedule stacked with intensive travel this fall. Game that has gotten tougher: at Jacksonville, Week 10 When the 49ers last traveled to face the Jaguars, Urban Meyer was Jacksonville’s coach. One game the 49ers can’t afford to lose: vs. Arizona, Week 4 The Cardinals were abysmal last season. The Week 4 game against Arizona also comes right before the 49ers’ first presumably “tough” stretch of the season. It’s reasonable to assume that the 49ers can keep churning and post another strong campaign because they were dominant before Purdy hurt his elbow in Philadelphia last season.
