The New England Patriots and the San Francisco 49ers go head to head on Sunday in a big game for Week 11 in the NFL. The game has a scheduled start time of 4.25 p.m. ET and takes place from Levi's Stadium. The game can be watched on TV on the CBS network or online through live stream via the link below.

The Patriots are sitting pretty in the AFC East, with a record of 7-2 they have breathing room above the 5-4 Miami Dolphins and 4-5 Buffalo Bills.

However, they will have bigger things on their mind, and will be hoping to secure a top seeding spot in the coming month so that they can claim a first round bye in the Playoffs.

Today they face a 49ers team that has won just a single game so far this season. They are on 1-8 and are looking into the abyss in one of their worst seasons.

On paper there will be only one result from this game today, but the 49ers are at home and they will be desperate to pull off a shock and regain some pride from an extremely disappointing season.

Earlier this week on Thursday Night Football the Carolina Panthers claimed a tight 23-20 victory over the New Orleans Saints.

The Panthers looked comfortable as the game wound down towards the end, but the Saints rallied and almost stole the win. However, they came up just short and their late game rally was ultimately in vain.

Carolina really need to sort out how they tackle the final quarter of games, and even though they managed to hang on against the Saints, their fourth quarter performances have undermined their season badly.

They entered the fourth quarter here with a healthy 23-3 lead, but allowed the Saints to pile on 17 unanswered points to move within a score of turning this game on its head. New Orleans even had the ball with an opportunity in the final seconds - that's how close the Panthers came to blowing things again.

However, the Panthers tackled receiver Michael Thomas at their 43 yard line as the clock ran out, and Carolina breathed a huge sigh of relief.
