The NFL is sticking with its plan to play the Monday Night

Football game between the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Giants http://www.atlantafalconsteamonline.com/julio-jones-jersey , even with smoke from dangerous wildfires burning throughout California. The Camp Fire is about 250 miles northeast of Levi’s Stadium.The fires are close enough to the stadium that smoke has diminished the air quality to the point that it’s considered an “unhealthy” level.The NFL said that if the Air Quality Index got to a level of 200, then the game would be relocated. It’s not quite at 200, but right before kickoff the Air Quality Index was 156 — high enough to issue warnings about exerting a lot of energy outside.The NFL also considered moving the game between the Los Angeles Chargers and the Oakland Raiders to Dallas, but it went on as scheduled Sunday. The NFL doesn’t often move games, due to cost, travel, and the rigors of the schedule. Last season, it happened once. The Week 1 game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Miami Dolphins was moved to Week 11 after Hurricane Irma hit Miami as a Category 5 storm. The 49ers’ practice on Friday was shortened due to air quality concerns from the fire. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters that he was prepared for this to happen on Saturday afternoon.The 49ers embraced the surrounding community by inviting the Paradise High School football team to the game. They had to forfeit their playoff berth due to wildfires destroying the area. The 49ers don’t have another home game on the schedule until Dec. 9, Week 14. The Raiders won’t be at home again until Week 13. During the game Matt Ryan Jersey Limited , the broadcast noted that the air quality was getting worse. Right before halftime, the air quality was at 161 — five points higher than the 156 AQI at the start of the game.There was a haze on the field due to the fires, even though the fires are raging over 200 miles away from the field.Odell Beckham was seen getting some extra oxygen on the sideline after the Giants kicked a field goal to tie the game at 10.If you want to keep up with the Air Quality Index for the game tonight, click here.

Falcons DT Grady Jarrett could be out for a couple of weeks with his ankle sprain. It’s a disturbing development that takes away arguably the best player in the front seven at the moment and does not help the struggling defense. The injury means Jack Crawford will no doubt take the starting snaps in Jarrett’s stead. He’s flashed a lot of promise this season and will only see more time now as he tries to steady the interior of the Falcons’ DL. DE Takkarist McKinley may also get some inside reps to help boost the pass rush there. Rookie DT Deadrin Senat and veteran DT Terrell McClain will need to uptick their respective contributions as well. The team added former Jaguars DT Michael Bennett and worked out DE Robert Ayers and Kony Ealy Tuesday, and waived DL Justin Zimmer. This indicates that the Falcons are not comfortable with the depth on the defensive line at the moment http://www.atlantafalconsteamonline.com/matt-ryan-jersey , particularly as the pass rush and run defense both struggle. So, another day, another injury. Losing Jarrett is just the pits, but it might only be for a few weeks. The team will enter the softer part of their schedule once this Pittsburgh game is over with, but lose that, and you’re at 1-4, and the season begins to look lost before it even really got going. Here’s hoping Jarrett heals up quickly and that the team’s plan to withstand his injury works.
