The conditions at Soldier Field suggested the San Francisco 49ers and Chicago Bears game would be sloppy. After a scoreless first quarter that saw a fumble, interception, and endless punts. Eight of the 12 drives ended in the first half in a punt.
The 49ers had an opportunity to add a touchdown, but Trey Lance overthrew Tyler Kroft on one of Shanahan’s favorite designs, “leak.” That was one of the few blemishes for Lance on the afternoon.
Unfortunately, the other came at an inopportune time in the fourth quarter. He thought he had an open receiver, but Bears safety Eddie Jackson jumped in front of the throw for an interception.
