Bills vs 49ers live stream: How to watch Monday Night Football online

Technically, San Francisco is the host team in this Bills vs 49ers live stream. But with Levi's stadium closed due to COVID-19 restrictions, both teams will be playing on the road at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona in this NFL live stream. 

Losing home-field advantage is just the latest adjustment for a San Francisco team that has faced a tumultuous season full of devastating injuries. Some of those hurt San Francisco players are starting to come back, though, and the team broke a three-game losing streak with a 23-20 win over the tough LA Rams.

That win keeps the 5-6 San Francisco in the running for a shot at an NFC West wild card slot. And the 49ers are currently favored by 2 points.

Sporting an 8-3 record and a fresh victory over the LA Chargers (27-17), the Bills look like the stronger team going into this NFL live stream. Leading the AFC East, the Bills are anchored by quarterback Josh Allen, who has 22 touchdown passes and just over 3000 yards to his name this season. 

Allen went down hard with a sack in the first half of the Chargers' game but returned after sitting out just one play. It was a brief reminder of how critical Allen's continued good health is to the Bills, especially since they have a fairly limited rushing game without him. (Allen has actually run in six touchdowns of his own this season.)

Despite yet more turmoil with the loss of their home field, the 49ers are still in better shape than they have been for much of this trying season. This matchup with the Bills could be a close one.
