Five prime time games

There were a ton of games that made sense for prime time for the 49ers in 2020, and they’re scheduled for the maximum of five, with a few potentially flex-worthy games throughout the year. San Francisco has three Sunday night games, one Thursday night game and a Monday night game. They had six prime time showdowns last year and went 5-1 in those games. Their lone loss was a Week 10 Monday defeat in overtime to the Seahawks. Four of their five this year are at home. The only exception is a Sunday night date with the Cowboys in Week 15.
