Visibility will be limited early Sunday, but mostly sunny skies and cool temperatures are expected by afternoon at Levi’s Stadium.
The Chicago Bears have cut ties with a former Green Bay Packers draft pick in a series of roster moves ahead of Sunday Night Football.
The Early Edge
Week 17 of the 2025 NFL season will continue on this afternoon with a high-stakes NFC showdown featuring the Chicago Bears visiting the San Francisco 49ers 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC. Both of these teams are still in contention for the No. 1 seed in the conference and would be knocked out of contention for that distinction with a loss here.
The Bears have never had a 4,000-yard passer. Caleb Williams has an outside shot at getting there. Williams, in his second season, has 3,400 with two games to play. That puts him 600 yards from 4,000.
The San Francisco 49ers defense will have a significant challenge in Week 17 when they face Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears. Williams and Co. are coming into this contest with confidence after their comeback win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 16.
