When is 49ers - Bills? How to watch on TV, stream online | NFL
As the 2024 season edges ever closer to the playoffs, there’s a tasty matchup for us at Highmark Stadium.
Coming into the 2024 NFL season, the Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers were both seen as potential Super Bowl contenders. The Bills, led by Josh Allen, entered the season eyeing a sixth consecutive playoff appearance. Meanwhile, Kyle Shanahan’s 49ers have been NFC powerhouses, reaching four of the last five conference championships.
Now, as Week 13 approaches, these two teams find themselves on different trajectories. Buffalo looks poised to secure another postseason berth, thanks to Allen’s leadership and a resilient defense. On the other hand, the 49ers are battling to stay afloat in a competitive NFC West after key injuries, including to quarterback Brock Purdy.
Whether Purdy can return for Sunday night remains uncertain, but this game has significant playoff implications. Here’s how to watch and what to expect from this must-see matchup.

Form guide for 49ers - Bills
The 49ers (5-6) are coming off a disappointing 38-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 12, their worst performance of the season. With backup quarterback Brandon Allen stepping in, the team struggled offensively, managing only 44 rushing yards.
The Bills (9-2), on the other hand, have been red-hot, winning six straight games before their Week 12 bye.

The Bills appear to have the edge in this game, especially if Purdy is unavailable. With Allen firing on all cylinders and the 49ers struggling to find their footing, Buffalo should secure a comfortable win.
