Overview
- Both teams are 11-4 entering Week 17 at Levi's Stadium, with Chicago able to clinch the NFC North with a win or a Packers loss.
- San Francisco can still claim the NFC’s top seed by beating Chicago and then Seattle in Week 18.
- 49ers GM John Lynch said George Kittle will be a game-time decision, and key defenders Fred Warner, Nick Bosa and Mykell Williams are on injured reserve.
- Chicago lists T.J. Edwards, C.J. Gardner-Johnson and Nahshon Wright as questionable, straining depth against Brock Purdy and Christian McCaffrey.
- Matchup trends highlight Chicago’s NFL-best turnover margin and run/play-action efficiency against a 49ers defense with league-worst sack totals and low pressure rates.
