49ers defense played the RPO well vs. Bears

The San Francisco 49ers lost to the Chicago Bears last week, but it wasn’t the defense that let us down. Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh and his squad were on point for most of the game. The Bears entered the game averaging 26 points per game, and they were held to almost half that. Given the youngsters playing on the defensive side of the ball, that’s a monumental task. Even near the end where Chicago looked to run out the clock, and needing a key first down to do so, the defense made a play. With just a few minutes left, Tavarius Moore punched the ball out and the team had hope.
