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.
