Chicago Bears are the key to the game

1. Take advantage of the situation

The 49ers will be without Trent Williams, Brandon Aiyuk, Christian McCaffrey and Nick Bosa on Sunday. Without these players, the Bears have a chance to take advantage.

2. Track Brock Purdy

Purdy missed a game earlier this season due to injury. Pressuring him with aggressive blitzes and forcing him to throw off the run would be the key to winning an away game.

3. Bring the Williams-Odunze compound to a boil

With DJ Moore dealing with a quadriceps injury, the Bears may have to look elsewhere for offensive production. It’s the perfect time for the Odunze-Williams connection to blossom, especially when we’ve seen it blossom before.

Remember when…

The Bears last played in San Francisco in 2022, in Matt Eberflus’ first game as head coach of the Chicago Bears. The Bears outlasted the Niners in a monsoon with starting quarterback Justin Field, a defense led by middle linebacker Roquan Smith and plenty of hope with a new head coach. The Bears face San Francisco again, with a head coach coaching his first career game.
