Chicago Bears fall short of predictions, lose to San Francisco 49ers, 201.44-96.50

There's no easy way to put it, Chicago Bears dropped the ball, at least compared to projections, as San Francisco 49ers came out on top with a 201.44-96.50 win. San Francisco 49ers never trailed in this one after nabbing a 37.64-point lead on Thursday behind Mac Jones (20.14 points) and Nelson Agholor (18.5). David Montgomery (79 Rush Yds, 34 Rec Yds) and Roquan Smith (8 Tackles) carried the flag for Chicago Bears in the loss. San Francisco 49ers (5-7) will look to earn another win against Dallas Cowboys, while Chicago Bears (7-5) face Kansas City Chiefs in an effort to get back in the win column.
