The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Chicago Bears in a close game. The win keeps the 49ers in the race for the top playoff position in their conference.
Chicago rookie quarterback Caleb Williams nearly led a game-winning drive in the final moments. His last pass into the end zone was incomplete, securing the 49ers' victory.
San Francisco's quarterback, Brock Purdy, was key to the win. He threw for four touchdowns and ran for another, totaling five scores.
The 49ers must win their final game next week to secure the NFC's No. 1 seed. This would guarantee them home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. The Bears' season is now over.
