Nick Bosa: A blessing in disguise to play Thursday after the lead against Cardinals

Players typically aren’t keen on playing Thursday night games because of the quick turnaround from Sunday, but 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa isn’t complaining about this week’s schedule.

The 49ers are in Seattle on Thursday night and Bosa is looking forward to the game as it gives the team a chance to turn the page from Sunday. The Niners led 23-10 at halftime against the Cardinals, but did not score in the final 30 minutes and the Cardinals took home a 24-23 victory after linebacker Kyzir White picked off Brock Purdy with just over a minute to play.

‘I think we need that turn the page on this one. It’s pretty clear what happened and why we lost,” Bosa said via 49ersWebzone.com. “So I think it’s kind of a blessing in disguise that we’re playing on Thursday.”

Head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed a similar sentiment. He said there is no way to change what happened on the field Sunday and that “it’s better to just wait until Thursday than until next Sunday” to come back.

The Seahawks also enter Thursday night on a somber note after losing to the Giants on Sunday, and the team that can bounce back best will be in an advantageous position in the NFC West heading into week seven.
