49ers Blog and Q&A: Joy of flex: 49ers-Seahawks game bumped to prime time

This will be an awesome game, we would be first team with two Sunday night games two weeks in a row im sure.

hopefully next season we would have the home game!!!

This could be big, if we beat the Seahawks and Patriots at there home two weeks in a row all eyes will be on us as the #1 in the NFC and NFL even if we are the #2 seed. I think ATL Falcons are about to slip in the next couple of weeks

There's a couple threads with this topic on it but I'll post it in this one. Since last night there have been a couple people to ask if there have been other teams who have had to play on Sunday Night Football in back-to-back weeks. I started looking in the 2006 season because that's when flex scheduling started.

In 2007, the Patriots had to play on Sunday Night Football in back-to-back weeks, BOTH away from home. In week 11 they had to play Buffalo and won 56-10. In week 12 they had to play Philadelphia and won 31-28. They had to play 3 out of 5 games on SNF during that stretch as well. That's as far as I've gotten for now.

In weeks 15 and 16 of the same season the Redskins had to play back-to-back weeks on SNF. In week 15 they went to the Giants and won 22-10. In week 16 they went to Minnesota and won 32-21.

2008 - Week 15 - Giants @ Cowboys. Giants lost. Then in week 16 the Giants had to travel to Carolina and they beat the Panthers in overtime.

That's quite a dream! I think we are closer to losing both games than winning both. Not trying to be negative, it's just the reality is the 49ers have been very inconsistent all season. I hope the 49ers will be ready for this potentially catastrophic test

Those are the only instances I could find since 2006 of teams having to play on SNF in back-to-back weeks.

Nobody plays on Sunday Night Football in the last week of the season. Everybody plays on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET, except for 8 teams, including the Cardinals at the 49ers, who play at 4:25 E.T..

Offensive wise yes, but giving games away no. Before the Rams lost we won 5 games in a row. We beat Green Bay at there home and Saints in New Orleans all games we were suppose to lose
