The San Francisco 49ers better get comfortable with playing in prime time.
Fresh off their devastating loss on Monday Night Football to the Seattle Seahawks, the NFL announced the Week 12 Niners-Packers game on Sunday, November 24 will be flexed to 5:20 p.m., meaning it'll be shown on NBC's Sunday Night Football. The league also announced that the team's Week 16 tilt against the Los Angeles Rams will be played at 5:15 p.m. on Saturday, December 21, and be shown on NFL Network.
The Packers are currently 8-2, sitting at the top of the NFC North. The Vikings are just one game back of the Packers in that division, meaning the outcome of the Week 12 showdown will be monumental for both teams.
