Once upon a time there was an NFL that had six divisions. One of which was the NFC West.
To make sense of this division, prior to 2002, was to drive oneself to madness. A division for the western teams of the NFC included, somehow, San Francisco, California (which is as west as this country gets outside of Alaska or Hawaii) and Atlanta, Georgia (which was most definitely not very west. In fact, it’s extremely not west.
So here we are with an old fashioned (pre-2002) divisional matchup.
Here’s what you
need to know to watch tonight’s game:

What: Sunday Night Football
Where: Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara, CA
