Instant analysis of 49ers' 42-38 win over Bears to keep alive bid for No. 1 seed
"Brock Purdy shook off an opening-snap pick-six that put them in a 7-0 hole, the 49ers blew four subsequent leads, and they ultimately rallied in the final minutes for a 42-38 win over the NFC North-champion Chicago Bears at Levi's Stadium. Purdy found Jauan Jennings for a 38-yard touchdown reception with 2:15 to spare for the 49ers' much-needed yet seemingly ludicrous seventh touchdown of the night."
"Purdy threw three touchdown passes and 303 yards, and he also ran for two scores to help offset his opening-throw pick-six en route to a sixth straight win. Christian McCaffrey ran for 140 yards and a touchdown, and he added 41 receiving yards to pull him within 110 of hitting a 1,000-yard rushing and receiving milestone. The Bears, for the first time since that pick-six, went ahead with 5:22 remaining on a 29-yard field goal from Cairo Santos."
An opening-snap pick-six put San Francisco down 7-0, but Brock Purdy rebounded to throw three touchdown passes for 303 yards and run for two scores as the 49ers rallied to a 42-38 victory over the Chicago Bears. San Francisco blew four leads but regained control late when Purdy connected with Jauan Jennings on a 38-yard touchdown with 2:15 remaining. Christian McCaffrey rushed for 140 yards and a touchdown and added 41 receiving yards. Cairo Santos' 29-yard field goal was the Bears' only three-pointer. A second-effort 49ers pass rush forced Caleb Williams' incompletion from the 2-yard line as time expired.
