How to watch the 49ers against the Bears on Sunday
The San Francisco 49ers face the Chicago Bears at 1:25 p.m. PDT on Sunday, Dec. 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.
The Niners enter Sunday on a three-game losing streak and will be without their top two running backs after Christian McCaffrey injured his knee and Jordan Mason his ankle in last Sunday’s snow-globe loss to the Buffalo Bills.
Chicago, meanwhile, just fired coach Matt Eberfluss and promoted offensive coordinator Thomas Brown to coach the team after a Thanksgiving loss in Detroit. The Bears, after starting 4-2 with top NFL Draft pick Caleb Williams at quarterback, have lost six games in a row.
