CHICAGO -- The Bears (2-9) and San Francisco 49ers (1-10) tied a 28-year-old NFL record on Sunday when both teams failed to complete a pass in the first quarter.
Bears quarterback Matt Barkley and San Francisco's Colin Kaepernick went 0-for-3 combined as a steady snow fell at Soldier Field.
The Bears and 49ers game is the first since the New York Jets and New England Patriots on Nov. 13, 1988 to have no completed passes in the 1st quarter, per the Elias Sports Bureau.
The Jets and Bengals last played a game in 2009 when there were zero completions in a quarter.
