SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL: SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS VS. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
NBC, 8:15 p.m. ET
Facing each other for the first time in four years, these two teams are having great seasons: The 49ers are 9-3-1, the Patriots 10-3. And it’s a quarterback duel with a lot of drama. The Patriots have imposing veteran Tom Brady, and the 49ers have impressive young replacement Colin Kaepernick, who’s stepped up big time since Alex Smith was sidelined with a concussion.
