The 49ers’ playoff hopes are still teetering even after get-right game against the Bears
Associated PressSANTA CLARA, Calif. — After three straight losses, including back-to-back blowouts, the San Francisco 49ers needed a get-right game. Brock Purdy carved up Chicago’s defense to lead San Francisco to its best offensive output of the season and the defense dominated the Bears in a 38-13 win Sunday that looked a lot more like the team that went to the Super Bowl last season than the one that has struggled in 2024. “If we win every single game, I think we’ve put ourselves in a very good position to either win the division or somehow sneak our way into playoff contention,” tight end George Kittle said.
