Packers-49ers flexed to ‘Sunday Night Football’ in Week 12

The Green Bay Packers will do battle with the San Francisco 49ers in primetime in Week 12.

The NFL flexed the previously scheduled late-afternoon matchup to “Sunday Night Football,” putting the showdown between the NFC’s current No. 1 and No. 2 seed under the lights of Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara on Nov. 24.

Kickoff is scheduled for 7:20 p.m. CT.

The Seattle Seahawks and Philadelphia Eagles were originally scheduled to play on “Sunday Night Football.” That game was moved back to the noon CT timeslot.

The matchup between the Packers and 49ers could determine the NFC’s No. 1 seed going into Week 13. The Packers are 8-2 entering the bye week, while the 49ers will have a chance to improve to 9-1 with a game against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.

The Packers have already played four primetime games. They are 3-1 in those games, with wins over the Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs and a loss to the Eagles.
