NFL scores, live updates: 49ers, Packers renew classic rivalry, Seahawks battle Cardinals for NFC West lead

The NFC West is the closest division in football with the 6-4 Cardinals leading the 5-5 49ers, Seahawks and Rams heading into Week 12 by just one game, and some of that jumble could be resolved this Sunday. While the Rams don’t start until just after 8 PM ET on Sunday Night Football – at home against the Eagles – the other three teams in the division take center stage in the late afternoon window.

The San Francisco 49ers are in Green Bay to take on the Packers – who have won four of their last five and currently sit at No. 6 seed in the NFC playoffs – and they are once again heading into a big game with big names missing. Pass rusher Nick Bosa is out with a hip injury, quarterback Brock Purdy is inactive because of soreness in his throwing (right) shoulder and an ankle injury will sideline left tackle Trent Williams. The short-handed 49ers could use the win, coming off a loss to the Seahawks in Week 11.

Those same Seahawks are looking for a second straight division win when they host the NFC West-leading Cardinals. An Arizona win — combined with Packers and Eagles wins — would give Kyler Murray and company a little breathing room in the division as the stretch begins.
