🔑 KEY STORYLINES
- Pittsburgh Steelers (6-4): Leading the AFC North by one game over the Ravens, the Steelers are coming off a 34-12 rout of the Bengals in Week 11, where their defense forced two turnovers and scored twice. However, QB Aaron Rodgers' fractured left wrist (non-throwing hand) from that game has him limited in practice and questionable – if he sits, Mason Rudolph steps in (12/16, 127 yards, 1 TD in relief). Offense ranks 18th in PPG (20.8), powered by RB Jaylen Warren (800+ rushing yards, 6 TD) and WR DK Metcalf (900+ receiving yards, 7 TD), but they've allowed 261.7 passing yards/game lately (worst in NFL). Injuries: RB Jaylen Warren (ankle, questionable), DE Alex Highsmith (groin, out); road record: 2-2; they've won 4 of last 6 overall.
- Chicago Bears (7-3): Atop the NFC North for the first time since 2020 after three straight one-score wins (including 19-17 over Vikings in Week 11), QB Caleb Williams has zero INTs and just four sacks in that streak, leading an offense ranking 4th in total yards (373.8/game). RBs D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai combine for 1,400+ rushing yards (2nd in NFL), with rookie WR Tetairoa McMillan adding explosiveness; defense is top-8 in success rate but soft vs. pass (bottom-third). Injuries: LB Shaq Thompson (Achilles, out), OT Ikem Ekwonu (back, questionable); home record: 3-1; they've covered 4-1 ATS on road but seek first win vs. winning team (0-1 so far).
- Head-to-Head: Bears lead all-time 13-10 (7-4 at home vs. PIT); last meeting: Steelers 17-10 win in 2021. PIT has won last 2, but series often low-scoring; one playoff clash (Bears 35-24 in 2005 Wild Card).
⚠️ SIGNIFICANCE OF THE GAME Bears (-2.5 favorites, O/U 45) aim to extend NFC North lead (78% win prob.) and build momentum amid Rodgers uncertainty; win pushes them to 8-3 and solidifies wild-card spot. Steelers (+110 ML) seek first road win vs. winning team since Week 4, staying in AFC North mix (6th seed); upset would be huge for Rudolph. Spotlight on Bears' run game vs. PIT's leaky front (T16 vs. rush); experts lean CHI but expect close (Under 6-2 in CHI's last 8 homes). 📱 FOLLOW THE GAME

Santa Clara, California – January 5, 2026
The San Francisco 49ers received the NFL’s official word — and wasted no time making their stance clear.
On Sunday night, the league finalized its Wild Card Weekend schedule for the 2025 postseason, confirming that the 49ers, entering as the NFC’s No. 6 seed, will travel to Lincoln Financial Field to face the No. 3-seeded Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, January 11, in the late-afternoon window (approximately 3:30–4:30 p.m. ET). The game will air nationally on FOX, placing a high-stakes postseason matchup under the league’s brightest spotlight.
The 49ers’ announcement came shortly after the NFL’s release, emphasizing readiness and resolve despite falling short of the NFC West title. In a brief statement from Santa Clara, the team wrote:“Philadelphia. On the road. Playoff football. This is the moment. We’re ready.”
San Francisco enters the postseason after a strong but bittersweet regular season finish. The 49ers closed the year at 12–5, securing a Wild Card berth but missing out on the division crown after a Week 18 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, who surged to a 14–3 record to claim the NFC West. A tiebreaker loss to the Los Angeles Rams (also 12–5) ultimately pushed the 49ers into the No. 6 seed.
Speculation has followed the team in the wake of that late-season setback, particularly regarding consistency and execution against elite competition. Despite a roster loaded with postseason experience, the 49ers now face a demanding road path — beginning in one of the league’s most hostile playoff environments.
The stakes extend beyond a single game. Lincoln Financial Field presents a punishing atmosphere, especially in January, where Philadelphia has built its identity around physicality and crowd intensity. With the Eagles hosting, the 49ers face not only a top-seeded opponent but an unforgiving environment where mistakes are rarely forgiven.
Still, San Francisco is no stranger to adversity. The franchise has navigated deep postseason runs in recent years, and road playoff victories have become part of its recent identity. With both teams entering with legitimate championship aspirations, the margin for error will be razor thin.
The NFL has made its schedule.The 49ers have made their statement.
Sunday, January 11.Late afternoon.Philadelphia.
The stage is set — for survival, redemption, and a postseason chapter that could define the trajectory of San Francisco’s season.
