Where the Bears rank statistically heading into Week 14

The Chicago Bears (4-8) will face the San Francisco 49ers (5-7) in Week 14, where Chicago is looking to snap a six-game losing streak against an injury-riddled San Francisco team.

The Bears are coming off a brutal 23-20 loss to the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving, which resulted in the firing of head coach Matt Eberflus after he failed to use a timeout at the end of the game that cost them a potential win. Now, Thomas Brown steps in as interim head coach, where he'll continue to call plays for the offense and develop quarterback Caleb Williams in these final five games.

With Week 14 on deck, how do the Bears compare to the rest of the NFL this season? Looking at the major metrics (courtesy of Team Rankings, ESPN, The Football Database and StatMuse), here is where Chicago ranked following Week 13:
