The only flexed game of the season that displaced a scheduled game took place on December 23 ; the San Diego Chargers at New York Jets game reverted to the afternoon , and the San Francisco 49ers played in Seattle that night . This resulted in the 49ers playing on consecutive Sunday nights , both on the road ( the team played in New England the previous Sunday night , December 16 ) . A portion of the San Francisco-New England game aired on the NBC Sports Network and CNBC due to NBC News ' live coverage of Barack Obama 's speech following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting
