The NFL is taking another step towards improving the quality of games for its fans. Due to local broadcasting restrictions, often times, CBS and FOX must leave the 'bonus-coverage' broadcast of an exciting early game to broadcast the kick-off a game beginning at 4:15p. To counteract the occurrence this season, the NFL will move all scheduled 4:15p games back ten minutes to 4:25p.
This change will effect the kick-off of the Bills and 49ers at Candlestick Park in Week Five. Instead of a 4:15p start, the game will begin at 4:25p to allow the early game on CBS to reach its conclusion. As Bills lead journalist Chris Brown notes, the Bills are 3-3 on the road against San Francisco. The last time the two clubs met at Candlestick, Lee Evans and Willis McGahee led the way with two touchdowns apiece in a 41-7 dismantling of the 49ers. Buffalo most recently dropped a 10-3 decision to San Francisco in 2008 at the Ralph.
