"Defense? Optional? Entertainment value? Immeasurable. The 49ers have now won six straight games, beating the Bears 42-38 on a 38-yard Jauan Jennings touchdown pass with 2:15 to play and a defensive goal-line (OK, 3-yard-line) stand as time expired. And while casual fans soaked it all in with glee, I can only imagine how exhausting that game was for 49ers fans to watch."
"Do you know how good you have to play to throw a pick-six on the first play of the day and still be a no-doubt stud? As well as Purdy played on Sunday. He followed up the worst play of the game with 59 minutes and 45 seconds of elite quarterback play. Purdy now has 10 touchdowns in his last two games, finishing Sunday with 303 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, and two read-option scores on the ground."
"Not having George Kittle is a problem. Obviously. But you don't lose much in the pass game with Jake Tonges stepping in at tight end. Tonges had seven catches, 60 yards, and a touchdown Sunday and was a go-to option for Purdy in this contest. Many players can be considered season-savers for San Francisco. Don't forget to add the oft-forgotten tight end on that list."
The 49ers rallied to beat the Bears 42-38 on a 38-yard Jauan Jennings touchdown with 2:15 remaining, then held a goal-line stand as time expired. San Francisco has won six straight games and now faces a winner-take-all matchup with Seattle for the NFC West and potentially the NFC's top seed. Brock Purdy recovered from a first-play pick-six to produce 303 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, two rushing scores, and 10 touchdowns over two games. Jake Tonges filled in for George Kittle with seven catches, 60 yards, and a touchdown. Left tackle Austen Pleasants performed well in run and pass protection.
