The Arizona Cardinals face the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium on Thursday Night Football in Week 5. Here’s how to watch the game online.

Coming into the 2016 NFL season, you’d have to think that any matchup between the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers would’ve been a severe mismatch. After four games for each team, though, the NFC West foes sport matching 1-3 records. That makes their Thursday Night Football matchup in Week 5 at Levi’s Stadium all the more important.

The bad news for the Cardinals is certainly at the quarterback position. Carson Palmer is out with a concussion for this game, putting Drew Stanton at the helm. Given the offensive struggles of this team, having the less-than-proven Stanton under center isn’t comforting. However, that only puts the onus even more so on running back David Johnson in addition to the defense led by Tyrann Mathieu and Patrick Peterson.

For the home team in the 49ers, they’re without a star of their own as NaVorro Bowman is out for the season following an Achilles tear suffered last week. That means that Blaine Gabbert and Carlos Hyde will have to be at their best on offense. The San Francisco defense wasn’t fearsome to begin with. But without Bowman, they could allow a lot of points even to an offense led by Stanton.

This game will be broadcast on both CBS and NFL Network on Thursday. Live streaming for the matchup will be on both NFL Sunday Ticket TV and on Twitter. You can access the former via a paid subscription and the latter with just a Twitter account.

Both the Cardinals and 49ers need this win bad on Thursday Night Football. Can the visiting team overcome early struggles with a backup quarterback at the helm? It may not be pretty, but finding out the answer makes this one worth watching.
