49ers Face Bears as Both Teams Struggle Through Disappointing Seasons

San Francisco looks to snap a three-game losing streak while Chicago adjusts to life without recently fired head coach Matt Eberflus.

The San Francisco 49ers, now 5-7, aim to recover from a three-game losing streak as they host the 4-8 Chicago Bears at Levi’s Stadium.
The Bears recently fired head coach Matt Eberflus after a narrow Thanksgiving loss to the Detroit Lions, marking their sixth consecutive defeat.
49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has faced criticism for a statistical decline this season and looks to solidify his status ahead of a potential new contract negotiation.
Injuries have severely impacted both teams, with the 49ers missing key players like Christian McCaffrey, Trent Williams, and Nick Bosa, while the Bears contend with absences in their lineup, including Ryan Bates and potentially D.J. Moore.
Rookie Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has shown promise, going without an interception in nearly two months, and could be a key factor in Sunday’s matchup.
