"Logic and common sense suggest the 49ers can't win their sixth Lombardi Trophy playing the kind of defense they did Sunday night. But logic and common sense went out the window a long time ago, not coincidentally at about the same time as Nick Bosa and Fred Warner were lost to injury. The 49ers have a 12-4 record after a 42-38 win over the Chicago Bears at Levi's Stadium."
"Williams, matching the 49ers' unflappable Brock Purdy pass for pass and scramble for scramble, was 25 of 42 for 330 yards and two touchdowns, including strikes of 35 yards to Luther Burden III (nine receptions, 138 yards) and rookie Colston Loveland, the 10th overall pick in the draft (six receptions, 94 yards). Chicago running backs D'Andre Swift (nine carries, 54 yards, two touchdowns) and Kyle Monangai (eight carries, 38 yards) led a running game that averaged 5.0 yards per carry."
"The win wasn't secured until Caleb Williams, with comeback win No. 7 just two yards away, was forced into an incomplete pass with a group-effort pass rush that included Yetur Gross-Matos and others. Game over. Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh said this week he quit worrying about stats long ago, and he'll definitely want to avert his eyes at the final box score Sunday night."
Nick Bosa and Fred Warner were lost to injury earlier in the season. The 49ers improved to 12-4 with a 42-38 victory over the Chicago Bears at Levi's Stadium. One more win over Seattle would provide home-field advantage through the playoffs. Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams finished 25 of 42 for 330 yards and two touchdowns, with 35-yard strikes to Luther Burden III and rookie Colston Loveland. The Bears gained 6.9 yards per snap, totaled 26 first downs, and a running game that averaged 5.0 yards per carry. The game ended when a group pass rush forced Williams into an incomplete pass on the final drive.
