The San Francisco 49ers won one of the most epic games of the season on Sunday night against the Chicago Bears thanks in large part to an incredible performance from quarterback Brock Purdy. One play in particular earned him a Patrick Mahomes comparison.

Writing this after the San Francisco 49ers epic Sunday Night Football win over the Chicago Bears seems somewhat churlish, but here we are.

The San Francisco 49ers won an absolute thriller against the Chicago Bears on Sunday night. However, in the process they showed 49ers fans exactly how they are going to break their hearts this time around.

The San Francisco 49ers managed to stave off another come-from-behind win by the Chicago Bears and moved to 12-4. Unfortunately, due to the rest of their division being so stacked, they're still in a wild card spot in the NFC playoff picture.

The San Francisco 49ers have been preparing for the possibility of defensive coordinator Robert Saleh's departure for some time now, but it seems obvious they are grooming Gus Bradley to take over if Saleh ends up leaving after this season.

The San Francisco 49ers sit at 11-4 on the season with two games to go. No matter what, they have clinched a spot in the playoffs which is a remarkable feat for head coach Kyle Shanahan who laid the groundwork for this season in the offseason.

While almost all of the actual playoff teams have been decided, the NFC is so tight that only the NFC South winner will know its seeding. Current leaders Carolina could be hoping for a potentially favorable Wildcard matchup thanks to the 49ers.

The back end of the 49ers defense remains vulnerable, but the Bears will be shorthanded, too, with one of their top offensive playmakers ruled out.

If the playoffs started this weekend (they don't), the 49ers would actually benefit from arguably the easiest Wild Card round showdown.

San Francisco 49ers punter Thomas Morstead has not had much to do the last two weeks. The 49ers have not punted in either of their last two games and Morstead is milking that for all it's worth in a very funny way.

The San Francisco 49ers have a massive game against the Chicago Bears this Sunday with huge implications for the NFC playoff picture. They may be without star tight end George Kittle which could force a former unlikely hero to reprise his role.

It has been a tough season for 49ers second-year running back Isaac Guerendo. After a mini-breakout campaign in 2024, he has not seen any action in 2025 and was just scratched in favor of rookie running back Jordan James.
