49ers vs. Packers Week 12 Matchup Flexed into Sunday Night Football

49ers schedule change has them flexed into two primetime slots in week 12 and week 16.

The San Francisco 49ers have announced that their week 12 matchup with the Green Bay Packers at Levi's Stadium will be flexed into primetime on Sunday night football. The original game slated was to be Seahawks vs. Eagles. Now that the 49ers are an established elite team, they are must watch football for any fan. 

And Aaron Rodgers is always an attraction, plus it helps that the Packers look great this season too. This is a game that should be another battle for the 49ers and one that should be hyped throughout the week. 

This isn't the only game that was flexed for the 49ers. Their week 16 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams has been moved to 5:15pm PST on NFL Network. This game will be played on Saturday Dec. 21, which will be considered a primetime slot. 

Week 16 did not have a set time, but the fact that the 49ers were moved to 5:15pm is a great validation of their talent. The NFL is surely making amends for not placing the first matchup between these two teams on primetime over the Los Angeles Chargers and Pittsburgh Steelers.

With the 49ers suffering their first loss of the season, it makes the playoff race much juicier. The Packers are currently on their bye week, so they will be rested and prepared for this game. A game that Rodgers will surely want to show out in against the best defense in the league.
