A glimmer of hope? Stock up, stock down for Bears-49ers

Sunday was a tough one for fans to swallow.

On paper, the San Francisco 49ers were a team that the Bears should’ve been able to hang with, and for the most part, they did.

However, when it came down to it, it was the defense that really couldn’t get a stop. Like at all.

The Bears’ run defense is quickly becoming a huge problem.

They now rank 25th in yards per carry allowed and 23rd in rushing yards allowed. Absolutely brutal. The Bears didn’t force a single punt Sunday and allowed a season-high 467 yards.
