The Chicago Bears finally get an offensive performance that wasn’t putrid, and their defense let’s them down by giving up 33 points and 467 yards to the San Francisco 49ers. The game was close through three quarters, but 18 points from San Fran in the fourth was too much for Chicago to overcome.
However, let’s not act like the offense was some juggernaut on Sunday, because 22 points and 324 total yards still isn’t that impressive. There are 19 teams that average better than 22 points a game, and 25 teams that rack up more that 324 yards each week, but for the offensively challenged Bears, Sunday was an explosion.
