The 49ers D was only on the field for 15 minutes on Sunday, so hopefully they are rested.

A couple years back when Arizona went East to Washington they got destroyed...that team eventually did go to the Superbowl. So although not a true West Coast team they faced long travel on a short week.
Granted there are teams from the West who've gone East and won Thursday night games before. But most of the time on short weeks a team who has to travel a time zone or two is at a pretty significant disadvantage. San Fran to Baltimore is a pretty long trip.
