As the 49ers have done in previous years, the team will likely remain on the East Coast between those games.
"We do a lot of traveling in the NFC West, and where we are, and last year we had great success (staying on the East Coast)," general manager John Lynch told Colleen Wolfe on NFL Network. "We opened the season in Tampa, and then went to Cincinnati. In between, we stayed out in Youngstown (Ohio). So that was good to us.
"Those 10 AM (Pacific time) starts, if you allow it to be, can be rough on your team. We don't make any excuses, but we do try to prepare, and a great way to counteract some of those negative effects is to stay out there.
"So, believe me, as soon [the schedule] came out, we started looking at spots. We're looking at some different venues that will host us, and pretty sure we're going to stay out East. That really does help our team because you eliminate travel, and you also eliminate that 10 AM start, that early start that can be rough, if you allow it to be."
