The Bears defense came up immediately to start the game as Brock Purdy was intercepted by TJ Edwards who took the tipped ball to the house for an early 7-0 Bears lead. While the Bears finished with 440 yards of offense, the 49ers played just as well offensively. They had 496 yards of total offense and Purdy accounted for 5 touchdowns. Caleb Williams had an amazing game himself going 25 of 42 for 330 yards and two touchdowns. The Bears did clinch the NFC North over the weekend as the Packers lost to the Ravens. The only thing left for the Bears is if they finish as the 2 or 3 seed in the NFC - with a win over Detroit next Sunday, the Bears will be the two seed, #chicagobears #bears #chicago #chicagosports #calebwilliams #sportstalkMake sure to subscribe to...✅ Dan Bernstein Unfiltered✅ Forward Progress - A Chicago Bears Podcast 🏈✅ Organization Win Championships: A Chicago Bulls Podcast 🏀All links to YouTube, Apple, Spotify and more available on 312Sports.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It was an improbable win for the Chicago Bears as Caleb leads the team in their 6th come from behind victory this season. Williams finished with 250 yards and two touchdowns as the Bears scored 13 in the fourth quarter to force overtime. The Specials Teams unit played well as Cairo Santos kicked three field goals in difficult weather conditions and Josh Blackwell recovered an onside kick to give the Bears a chance to tie. Undrafted rookie WR, Jahdae Walker, scored his first NFL TD in the biggest game on the season with the division lead on the line. The Detroit Lions host the Pittsburgh Steelers as week 16 in the NFL continues. A Lions loss or tie would clinch a playoff berth for the Bears. Chicago will play at San Francisco next Sunday night. #chicagobears #bears #chicago #chicagosports #calebwilliams #sportstalkMake sure to subscribe to...✅ Dan Bernstein Unfiltered✅ Forward Progress - A Chicago Bears Podcast 🏈✅ Organization Win Championships: A Chicago Bulls Podcast 🏀All links to YouTube, Apple, Spotify and more available on 312Sports.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
