A year ago, in their week 13 match-up, the Chicago Bears throttled the San Francisco 49ers at home by a score of 26-6. Flash forward to week 13 of 2017 and the 49ers dropped the Bears 15-14.
What changed?
San Francisco cleaned house last offseason and are starting to rebuild. They made a huge in-season trade for a quarterback and now have their franchise pointing in the right direction.
The Bears are in year three of their own rebuild, and they also made a trade for, what they hope is a franchise quarterback, but this season has been a step back in a lot of ways.
