This news shouldn't come as much of a surprise. The NFL announced that it has flexed the Week 13 matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field out of "Sunday Night Football." While the 49ers are getting hot and are 5-5, the Seahawks are an abysmal 3-7. So the game doesn't have as much appeal as the NFL once believed it might.
More schedule changes: The NFL flexed #Chiefs-#Broncos to Sunday night in Week 13, with #Seahawks-#49ers moving to a mid-afternoon slot.
The NFC West matchup will now be played at 1:25 p.m. PT, now airing on CBS. The more appealing Week 13 matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs (7-4) and the Denver Broncos (5-5) will replace it.
49ers-Seahawks was once among the networks' dream matchups. However, both teams have failed to reach expectations for the 2021 season. Seattle has won the last three meetings between the two teams and four of the last five. San Francisco's last victory over their rival in the Pacific Northwest came on December 29, 2019.
The 49ers' only remaining primetime game is a December 23 matchup against the Tennessee Titans on a Thursday night.
