The Chicago Bears pulled off one of the bigger upsets of Sunday with a 19 to 10 win against the San Francisco 49ers, and while the awful conditions were a factor, it wasn’t as critical as Matt Eberflus’ H.I.T.S. philosophy.
The buy-in from the players was evident all offseason, but with them trailing 10 to 0 midway through the third quarter, we saw how much this team believes in themselves with 19 unanswered points.
The 49ers outgained the Bears, 331 yards to 204 yards, had more first downs, 17 to 15, had the time of possession edge, 33:28 to 26:32, and were better on third downs, 47.
