The San Francisco 49ers bounced back from two tough losses with a resounding 38-13 victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday, spoiling interim coach Thomas Brown’s debut. Brock Purdy threw for 325 yards and two touchdowns, leading the team to one of their most dominant first halves in years.
The 49ers’ performance was a far cry from their recent struggles, which saw them outscored by 53 points in losses at Green Bay and Buffalo. However, with coach Kyle Shanahan’s message of urgency and desperation resonating with the team, San Francisco delivered a game more reminiscent of last year’s Super Bowl-winning form.
The defense also stepped up, putting pressure on rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, who was sacked seven times. The Bears’ offense struggled to move the ball, generating minus-3 yards passing due to four sacks and failing to convert five third-down attempts.
Despite the loss, the Bears showed promise under new coach Thomas Brown, with rookie quarterback Caleb Williams throwing two touchdown passes in the second half. However, it was too late to overcome the significant deficit.
The 49ers’ win improves their playoff hopes, while the Bears fall to 4-9 and look to bounce back from a tough loss against Minnesota on Monday night.
