PEACOCK HOLIDAY EXCLUSIVE: RAVENS AT PACKERS AT 8 P.M. ET
After a four-point loss to New England on Sunday Night Football last week, the Ravens (7-8) need a win in Green Bay to remain in playoff contention. Derrick Henry rushed for 128 yards and two touchdowns last Sunday.
At 9-5-1, the Packers lost to the Chicago Bears, 22-16, in overtime last Saturday. Quarterback Malik Willis threw for 121 yards and a touchdown after Jordan Love left with an injury, while wide receiver Romeo Doubs had 84 receiving yards and a score on five receptions. Green Bay can earn a playoff berth with a victory on Saturday night (or a Lions loss on Thursday).
Saturday night’s matchup will be the eighth meeting between the two teams, with the Packers holding a 5-2 advantage in the all-time series.
Noah Eagle (play-by-play), Todd Blackledge (analyst) and Kathryn Tappen (sideline reporter) will call Ravens-Packers on Peacock from Lambeau Field. Three-time Super Bowl referee Terry McAulay will serve as rules analyst.
Ravens-Packers marks the fourth Peacock exclusive NFL game following Packers-Eagles in the NFL’s first-ever regular season game in Brazil in September 2024, the Bills-Chargers regular season game in December 2023, and the Dolphins-Chiefs AFC Wild Card game in January 2024, which holds the record for the largest audience ever for an exclusively streamed NFL playoff game.
The Peacock Holiday Exclusive will be broadcast on NBC stations in the competing teams’ cities: Baltimore (WBAL), Green Bay (WGBA) and Milwaukee (WTMJ) affiliates.

SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL: BEARS AT 49ERS AT 8:20 P.M. ET ON NBC, PEACOCK AND UNIVERSO
Chicago and San Francisco have both clinched playoff spots and look to improve their NFC positioning in a matchup at Levi’s Stadium, home of Super Bowl LX (Feb. 8 on NBC, Peacock and Telemundo). The clubs meet for the 71st time, with the 49ers leading the all-time series, 36-33-1.
Last Saturday night, the Bears overcame a 10-point deficit late in the fourth quarter to beat the Packers in overtime on quarterback Caleb Williams’ 46-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver DJ Moore. Moore had five receptions for 97 yards as Chicago qualified for the postseason for the first time since 2020. The Bears can win the NFC North for the first time since 2018 with a win (or a Green Bay loss). Safety Kevin Byard III leads the NFL in interceptions (six) and cornerback Nahshon Wright leads the league in fumble recoveries (three).
The 49ers defeated the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night, 48-27, led by quarterback Brock Purdy’s career-high five touchdown passes. The club produced 440 total yards behind running back Christian McCaffrey’s 117 rushing yards on 21 touches with two scores, and tight end George Kittle’s seven receptions for 115 yards and a touchdown. San Francisco’s fifth consecutive win keeps them in contention for the NFC West title and the conference’s top seed.
