Blaine Gabbert.
Their playoff hopes depended on them winning this game, at home, against a reeling San Francisco 49ers team with Blaine Gabbert at the helm.
San Francisco fought the entire way, and even pushed this game to overtime. What started out as a game dominated by Vic Fangio'd defense, ended with Fangio's defense being unable to keep up with Blaine Gabbert. Fangio shouldn't get all the blame though... The Bears are untalented on defense, and very thin all the way around. He's been working miracles all season long with a defense running on three flat tires, but today, it caught up with them.
