If ever there was a game tailor made for the San Francisco 49ers to snap a ten game losing streak, this would be the one. This is a Bears team that is banged up and is missing a host of key players – starting quarterback Jay Cutler and leading receiver Alshon Jeffery among them. San Francisco is going to be squaring off with a skeleton crew in Chicago.
Seriously, if they can’t beat a Matt Barkley-led Chicago squad, the prospects of a 1-15 season are all too real.
This game matters for nothing more than draft position, in all truthfulness.
