"SANTA CLARA The Chicago Bears ruined Levi's Stadium's grand opening in 2014, rallying from a fourth-quarter deficit to beat the host 49ers in Week 2 of a season neither franchise enjoyed. This season, the Bears have parlayed six fourth-quarter comebacks into serious contention for Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium on Feb. 8. But first at that venue Sunday night comes a Bears-49ers matchup that could dictate if either snags the NFC's No. 1 seed and easiest path to the Lombardi Trophy."
"The Bears, currently the No. 2 seed behind the Seattle Seahawks, will clinch the NFC North by beating the 49ers, so long as they didn't already secure that title via a Packers' loss Saturday night to Baltimore. The 49ers, currently the No. 5 seed, could seize the No. 1 seed and the NFC West if they hold serve against the Bears and then knock off Seattle (12-3) in next weekend's regular-season finale."
The Chicago Bears rallied to beat the 49ers at Levi's Stadium's 2014 grand opening and have used six fourth-quarter comebacks this season to reach serious contention for Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium on Feb. 8. The upcoming matchup at Levi's Stadium will influence NFC seeding with both teams 11-4 and competing for division titles. Left tackle Trent Williams emphasized the advantage of playoff-like home-field atmosphere. The Bears are the No. 2 seed and can clinch the NFC North with a win unless already clinched by a Packers' loss. The 49ers, No. 5, could claim the No. 1 seed and NFC West by beating the Bears and then Seattle.
