The NFL announced the first big change because of flex scheduling for the season on Monday, it's a doozy.
The Week 16 matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks in Seattle on Dec. 23 has been moved to NBC's "Sunday Night Football". The game replaces the matchup between the New York Jets and the San Diego Chargers.
Niners-Seahawks is a game worthy of a big stage, Russell Wilson vs. Colin Kaepernick, Jim Harbaugh vs. Pete Carroll, two of the nastiest defenses in football in the toughest place to play in the league.
Oh, and the NFC West division title may be on the line. Source: NFL.com Attached Thumbnails

Richard Sherman doesn’t care about his upcoming suspension appeal, he’s just happy about the two interceptions he grabbed and the Seahawks’ 58-0 win over the Cardinals.
Sherman and his lookalike-teammate wide receiver Sidney Rice were spotted dancing under jackets while sitting on the Seahawks bench late in the fourth quarter. Running back Marshawn Lynch certainly seemed happy...

The San Francisco 49ers have been darlings of the NFC since they benched started Alex Smith in favor of second-year passer Colin Kaepernick. Despite a loss to St Louis, Kaepenick has looked strong both passing and running the ball and has inspired the 49ers' offense. And of course the defense is just as good, if not better, as last year. For a team that just barely missed going...

Last week, then-Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Braylon Edwards said the Jets had "idiots" running the team. On Tuesday, those same "idiots" decided they wanted Edwards back on their team, as the Jets claimed Edwards off waivers. Taking a different tone than his previous Twitter rant, which was a defense of embattled Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, Edwards tweeted...

Brandon Jacobs Situation Shows You Need to Think Before You Send
Brandon Jacobs’ tenure with the San Francisco 49ers has apparently come to and end, according to reports. The 49ers have suspended Jacobs for the remaining three games of the season because of conduct detrimental to the team.
Reports say that the 49ers went with the move to suspend Jacobs rather than release him from the team. This makes sense and is smart business by San...

49ers running back Frank Gore was spotted in the locker room following San Fran’s 27-13 victory on Sunday wearing this questionable sweatshirt that featured the Miami Dolphins logo on it, albeit upside down and deceased. I say questionable not because he wore it after beating Miami, but because I though dolphin attire was out this year. Wasn’t the 2012 fashion season supposed...

The NFL’s number two rushing offense entered the game debuting a new back up and an off-season beast of an acquisition “rotting away.” As much as any team would want to give Frank Gore the rock for 25 to 30 carries a game, the San Francisco 49ers understand how much they need their workhorse down the back stretch of the 2012 season. With backups Kendall Hunter on IR and Brandon...

Dolphins held in check against 49ers
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Staring up at the sunny San Francisco sky, Marcus Thigpen peeked down at a pair of hard-charging defenders. By the time he looked back up, everything became blurry.
Same goes for the Miami Dolphins' season.
Thigpen's fumbled punt led to a 49ers touchdown that highlighted a series of mistakes in Miami's 27-13 loss Sunday at San Francisco. An ugly...
