San Francisco 49ers vs Chicago Bears Odds: Side Bench Report And Prediction
Matt Barkley led the game in passing, completing 11 of 18 attempts for 192 yards.
This team is not the Bears. He was sacked once for 8 yards. Little-known receiver Joshua Bellamy torched both Tramaine Brock and Jimmie Ward in coverage, hauling 4 catches for 93 yards.
Bears rookie RB Jordan Howard, a fifth-round pick, is ranked ninth in the National Football League in rushing yards (766).
On Sunday, the Bears (2-9) play host to the San Francisco 49ers (1-10) in a game that has very little meaning for the playoffs, but a ton for the top pick scenario in next year’s draft.
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick will reportedly void his contract with the franchise following the 2016 season, but could return to San Francisco on a new deal this offseason, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
But while Cobb’s snow angel touchdown celebration drew no penalty flags from officials at the Packers’ Lambeau Field, Robinson and his 49ers teammates weren’t so lucky in the Windy City. Meanwhile, San Francisco has the 10th worst offense with 228 points.
San Francisco mustered 27 yards before being forced to settle for a 28-yard field goal from Dawson. He’s looked similar to the player he was during the 49ers’ Super Bowl run, and it has him looking like a starter in 2017.
But Barkley’s completion lit a fire under the Bears passing game, with the veteran quarterback going on to complete three more receptions on eight tries before a suspect pass interference call in the end zone on Tremaine Brock. While the Bears have a subpar rushing attack (97.5 YPG), the 49ers have one of the NFL’s most efficient running games (126.5 YPG).
It was far from a thing of beauty for the Bears, but it beats losing.
The last time these two coaches faced each other – 2014, Week 4 – Kelly’s offense scored zero points against Fangio’s defense and didn’t move the ball past its own 43 until the fourth quarter with 4:29 left. In December, that’s not something most teams want to talk about, but the reality facing the 49ers is that they are 1-11, and the biggest reason for that is an overall lack of talent on the roster.
