Notes: Bears rally from behind, defeat 49ers in Week 1
No matter how ugly it looked at times, the Bears picked up a Week 1 win as the underdogs to officially start off the Matt Eberflus era.
After a scoreless first half, the Bears rallied back in front of an energized Soldier Field crowd to defeat the 49ers 19-10 on Sunday. The heavy downpour of rain played a major factor in the overall style of play for both teams, providing for a run-heavy approach from both teams.
That stat sheet sure wasn’t pretty for the Bears’ offense, but they did just enough to outperform the 49ers in a battle between two first-round quarterbacks from the 2021 draft. Here are some of the key takeaways from Chicago’s Week 1 victory.
