The NFL has moved the San Francisco 49ers-Seattle Seahawks Week 17 game to Sunday Night Football on NBC.

The winner of the game will almost certainly get a bye while the loser will play on the road in the Wildcard round.

The 49ers lost their first game of the season in Week 10 to the Seahawks in a 27-24 overtime contest.

The 49ers will be playing in their sixth primetime game of the year while it will be the fifth for the Seahawks.

George Kittle is expected to sign a new contract with the San Francisco 49ers in the offseason.

Kittle is scheduled to make $735,000 next season in the final season of his four-year rookie contract.

Austin Hooper and Zach Ertz are two additional tight ends who could command new deals this offseason.

Minnesota's Kyle Rudolph ($9.35 million) is the NFL's highest-paid tight end this season in terms of total cash income on non-rookie deals, followed by Green Bay's Jimmy Graham ($9 million) and Kansas City's Travis Kelce ($8.75 million).

The Seattle Seahawks are slight favorites to win the NFC West ahead of the San Francisco 49ers going into Week 14, according to SportsBetting.ag.

The winner of the NFC West is likely to end up with either the No. 1 or No. 2 seed in the playoffs.

Seattle has an easier schedule to finish the season and also host the 49ers in Week 17.

The San Francisco 49ers have suspended radio analyst Tim Ryan for comments about Lamar Jackson's skin during Sunday's game.

"We are disappointed in Tim Ryan's comments earlier this week, and have suspended him for the upcoming game," the statement said. "We hold Tim to a high standard as a representative of our organization and he must be more thoughtful with his words. Tim has expressed remorse in a public statement and has also done so with us privately. We know Tim as a man of high integrity and are confident he will grow and learn from this experience."

Ryan made the comments early in an interview on the "Murph and Mac" show on KNBR radio in San Francisco on Wednesday morning when discussing Jackson's success running the ball against the Niners. KNBR is the Niners' radio partner and broadcasts all of the team's games.

"He's really good at that fake, Lamar Jackson, but when you consider his dark skin color with a dark football with a dark uniform, you could not see that thing," Ryan said on air. "I mean you literally could not see when he was in and out of the mesh point."

Sunday's game between the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens was hyped as a potential Super Bowl preview and it lived up to the billing.

The game was tied at three different points and the San Francisco defense was as successful as any team has been at slowing Lamar Jackson this season. The Ravens won the game 20-17 on a last second field goal by Justin Tucker.

"I was really proud of the team," Kyle Shanahan said of his 49ers. "I thought they played extremely hard, all three phases. (We) definitely played against a real good team, but I was really happy with our guys and how they played. We had every chance to win that game. We came up a little bit short there at the end. Give credit to them. Hopefully, we can earn an opportunity to maybe get a chance to play them some other time again."
