Three key players for Bears-49ers

The Chicago Bears enter December playing their best football of the year. Now they must improve their home record and continue winning in order to keep postseason hopes alive.

The Bears have come so far under John Fox that it is difficult to remember just how bad it really was earlier this season. The 0-3 start is long gone from memory and the team has slowly and steadily improved each week and is now playing its best football of the season at just the right time.

NFL teams need to be peaking in December, that's when playoff berths are won or lost and when teams are really preparing to enter that second season and make a run at a Super Bowl.
