Update: 2025-12-29
Description
In a nail-biting Sunday Night Football matchup, the San Francisco Forty-Niners narrowly defeated the Chicago Bears, 42-38. Both teams, tied at 11-4, were vying for top NFC playoff seeds. The game was a high-scoring affair, with Forty-Niners QB Brock Purdy throwing for 303 yards and 3 TDs, and Bears rookie Caleb Williams responding with 330 yards and 2 TDs. The Bears took an early lead on a pick-six and kept pace until the fourth quarter. A controversial penalty on Forty-Niners linebacker Tatum Bethune for unnecessary roughness on Bears tight end Colston Loveland sparked a review. Bethune could face fines for both roughness and unsportsmanlike conduct. Despite the setback, the Forty-Niners secured a touchdown drive to secure the victory and solidify their playoff position.
