The 49ers are in New Orleans to play the Saints at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Kickoff is scheduled for 10 a.m. PT. The Saints are currently listed as two-point favorites.
49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke to reporters about Tony York, following last year's Week 14 win over the Denver Broncos.
"Before we start just wanted to say, everyone knows the tragic stuff we dealt with yesterday, losing Tony York," Shanahan said on December 9, 2018. "This game was definitely for him. Getting to know the Yorks the last two years, the one thing that was so apparent to me about Tony, the times I've been around him, he was the biggest Niners fan out of any of them and really out of anyone I've been around since I've been in San Fran. Yeah, he is an owner, but just the true fan he was for the Niners always was so fun to watch. That's what was so cool about him.
"For us to have a win today with what happened to him yesterday, it means a ton. I know it means a lot to the York family. He was a special person who will be missed a lot. Prayers are with all the Yorks today. Jed was able to come, and we just had a special moment with him in the locker room. I know his parents weren't, and we're there with them, and I hope everyone's prayers are for them."
