It’s Thursday, which means it is time for Thursday night football. This game looked like it would be a good one. But now the 49ers are without their QB, TE, top 3 WRs and best defensive player. But don’t fret, I still have 10 awesome reasons to watch tonight’s game.

10. Puka!

Puka is having an incredible year so far and is arguably the best receiver in the league. Plus his name is Puka!

9. Mac Jones basically being Brock Purdy.

Jones looked like he was going to be a failure in this league but it turns out he is just basically Brock Purdy 2.0. You can watch him be average most of the game with a few good plays.

8. See who gets hurt for the 49ers this week.

If you are a fan of the blue tent on the sideline, this game is for you!

7. You can trick your wife into watching football.

“Hey babe, let’s look at amazon tonight.” She will be all about it…for like 30 seconds.

6. Watch former terrible receivers that Mahomes won Super Bowls with.

MVS, Skyy Moore and Demarcus Robinson all play for the 49ers now. And due to injuries…they are all going to be on the field.

5. Watch Blake Corum have a massive game.

Kyren Williams is on my fantasy team. I actually have Corum on my bench. So I fully expect Corum to have 80 yards and 2 tds while the 49ers shut down Williams. It should be a good time.

4. Watch a Shanahan lose.

As a Chiefs fan, I was never a big Mike Shanahan fan. I don’t really have anything against Kyle but I don’t like him that much either. So it is always a pretty good day when a Shanahan loses.

3. Watch Matthew Stafford ball out.

The old man still has it. And I use the term old man loosely since he is still 9 years younger than me. But he is off to a great start. I assume he will keep it rolling against what is left of the 49ers.

2. You get to watch CMC catch 100 passes.

CMC is already 3rd in receptions this year. Not on the team, but in the league. Now the 49ers are missing all their receivers and their back up QB is playing. Look for Mr. Check down to get a lot of action. Assuming he doesn’t get hurt.

1. This game does matter.

As much as I am making fun of this game, these two teams along with the Seahawks are tied for first place in the West. And the Seahawks have a tough game coming up with the Bucs. So there is a good chance that the winner of this game is in first place in the division. In other words, the Rams are going to be in first place in the division.
