If they get their desired result, the Eagles can clinch the No. 2 seed by then 1) beating the Washington Commanders in Week 18 and 2) the Bears losing to the Detroit Lions in Chicago.<\/p>\n<p>The all time regular-season series between these teams is tied, 33-33-1, and the home team has won the past two meetings. They last faced off in early-December 2024, when the 49ers won at home, 38-13. They\u2019ve also played each other three times in the postseason, but San Francisco is 3-0 in those matchups, with their most recent playoff victory against Chicago coming 30 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Things are a little different this season, however. Not only did the Bears clinch their first playoff spot since 2020, but after the Lions and Packers losses earlier in the weekend, they\u2019ve also won the NFC North for the first time since 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s everything you need to know about tonight\u2019s game.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p id=\"Ux9XCm\">\n<h2>Football <strong>Chicago Bears vs. San Francisco 49ers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p id=\"FU9BQg\">\n<h3><strong>TV Schedule<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Game time<\/strong>: 8:20 PM EST<\/p>\n<p><strong>Channel<\/strong>: NBC<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date<\/strong>: Sunday, December 28, 2025<\/p>\n<p><strong>Location<\/strong>: Levi\u2019s Stadium | Santa Clara, CA<\/p>\n<p><strong>Announcers<\/strong>: Mike Tirico, Cris Collinsworth, Melissa Stark<\/p>\n<div>\n<p id=\"QTg8Qz\">\n<h3><strong>Online Streaming<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Odds via FanDuel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chicago Bears: +3.5 (+164)<\/p>\n<p>San Francisco 49ers: -3.5 (-196)<\/p>\n<p>Over\/under: 51.5 points<\/p>\n<div>\n<p id=\"KN20Ro\">\n<h3><strong>SB Nation Blogs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>This is an open thread \u2014 discuss the game in the comments below!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bleedinggreennation.com\/philadelphia-eagles-discussion\/167199\/sunday-night-football-bears-vs-49ers-game-information-discussion-week-17-nfl\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a> Alexis Chassen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NFL Week 17 slate of Sunday games will cap off with a Sunday Night Football matchup between the Chicago Bears (11-4) on the road against the San Francisco 49ers (11-4).
