49ers-Seahawks Week 13 matchup flexed out of Sunday Night Football

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.
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.

No one was really expecting this. Yes, the San Francisco 49ers entered the game having won four straight against the Los Angeles Rams, but they were 3-5 this season and had lost five of their last six games.
The Rams had just added Odell Beckham Jr. and Von Miller. It didn't look like the 49ers had a chance against Sean McVay's Super Bowl-hopeful squad that upgraded its starting quarterback this offseason, swapping Jared Goff (plus some draft capital) for Matthew Stafford.
As most expected, the game was a good old-fashioned beatdown. Except, Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers delivered the blows to the tune of a 31-10 victory. It was the Niners' first home victory in 393
