The 49ers finally ended their losing streak, defeating the Chicago Bears 33-22 on Sunday. San Francisco bounced back from a sloppy start to control the pace of action in the second half in what might have been their best all-around performance of the season. The Niners' offense never punted, ending every drive in a touchdown or field-goal attempt, and the defense held the Bears to nine second-half points.
It’s been hard to hand out good grades over the past few weeks, but that’s not the case this week.
Quarterbacks: B+
Every game Jimmy Garoppolo plays over Trey Lance is probably stunting the 49ers' long-term prospects, but Garoppolo played well enough to justify a spot atop the depth chart for the first time all season.
