NFL scores, live updates: 49ers are desperate for a win vs. Bears as Chicago enters post-Matt Eberflus era

Must read

Both the Bears and 49ers have seen better days this season. It doesn’t seem like long ago that Chicago was 4-2 heading into its bye week after thumping both Carolina and Jacksonville. Yes, those are two of the worst teams in the league this season, but wins by three touchdowns or more are hard to come by in the NFL, and rookie quarterback Caleb Williams looked like he was heating up. But the 4-8 Bears have now lost six in a row, costing Matt Eberflus his job as head coach. While there are no moral victories, that streak includes one-score losses to four NFC teams in the thick of the playoff chase — Washington, Green Bay, Minnesota and Detroit.

At 5-7, the 49ers still have some hope because they play in one of the weaker divisions in the NFL, with Seattle only two games in front. But with just five games to play and a mounting list of injuries, it’ll be an uphill climb for San Francisco. The Christian McCaffrey injury was a devastating development, and injuries to Trent Williams and Nick Bosa have been a big blow in the trenches. Add in that Fred Warner has been playing this season with an ankle fracture, and it’s no wonder that the team that has played in the last three NFC title games is already on the ropes in Week 14.

Live26 updates

  • 49ers kick FG to boost lead to 24–0

    Jake Moody’s 23-yard field goal gives San Francisco a 24–0 lead over the Bears with 1:50 remaining in the first half.

    The Bears have 2 yards of total offense. You read that correctly.

  • Puka Nacua scores a rushing TD

    After his outstanding sideline catch, it’s only right that Puka Nacua gets to finish off the drive with a touchdown on a sweep around the left end.

    Los Angeles takes a 24–14 lead with just over two minutes remaining in the first half.

  • That’s why they call him “Toe-Tap Nacua”

    OK, Puka Nacua doesn’t have that nickname. But he might earn one after getting the double toe-tap down on an outstanding 19-yard catch along the sideline.

  • 2 TDs for Jauan Jennings

    Jauan Jennings has his second TD of the day for San Francisco on a 16-yard catch and run, splitting two Bears defenders.

    Chicago is down 21–0 in its first game since Matt Eberflus was fired.

  • Zach Charbonnet with his second TD for Seahawks

    After 20 yards on two carries, Zach Charbonnet zooms off the left side for a 51-yard touchdown run. Check out the block by Sataoa Laumea.

    Seattle takes a 24–10 lead over Arizona.

  • And here come the Bills

    Buffalo comes right back to score in four plays, completed with a 41-yard screen pass to Ty Johnson for a TD. Look at that blocking to set up Johnson’s run.

    The Bills cut the Rams’ lead to 17–14.

  • Rams block punt for TD!

    Jacob Hummel bulls his way up the middle to block Sam Martin’s punt. Hunter Long picks up the loose ball and returns it 22 yards for a touchdown.

    With that score, the Rams take a 17–7 lead over Buffalo early in the second quarter.

  • Isaac Guerendo gives 49ers 14–0 lead

    After forcing a punt, San Francisco goes 64 yards in four plays highlighted by a 32-yard catch by George Kittle and 27-yard reception from Isaac Guerendo. Guerendo finishes off the drive with a 1-yard TD run.

  • Cardinals kick FG to get within 1 score

    The Cardinals can’t finish off their drive with a TD after two incompletions from Kyler Murray. A Chad Ryland 28-yard field goal cuts the Seahawks’ lead to 17–10 early in the second quarter.

  • James Conner gets Arizona in the red zone

    Arizona is driving toward a score after a 23-yard run by James Conner. Cardinals have 1st-and-goal at Seattle’s 11-yard line.

  • Josh Allen pushes in a TD for Buffalo

    Josh Allen’s second QB sneak—or do we call it a Tush Push—gets the Bills in the end zone for the tying touchdown.

    That is Allen’s seventh rushing touchdown of the season. Bills and Rams tied, 7–7.

  • 2 INTs, 2 TDs for Seahawks

    Seattle builds its lead over Arizona to 17–7 on a 1-yard jet sweep by Zach Charbonnet for the TD. The Seahawks have made the Cardinals pay for their two turnovers thus far.

  • Josh Allen draws roughing the passer call

    Byron Young gets called for roughing the passer on Josh Allen, though it appears the Bills QB was still in bounds when he was hit. Probably close enough that Young should have laid off, however.

  • Rams lead 7–0 over Bills

    The Rams score on their opening drive versus the Bills. A 12-play, 70-yard drive is finished off with a 3-yard TD run up the middle by Kyren Williams.

  • Another Kyler Murray interception

    Kyler Murray has thrown picks on two consecutive possessions. This time, Coby Bryant gets the interception.

  • Jauan Jennings’ TD catch

    Here’s a look at the 49ers touchdown: Brock Purdy connecting with Jauan Jennings on a 7-yard flag route in the end zone.

  • Seahawks take the lead

    Seattle takes a 10–7 lead over Arizona on a 19-yard TD pass from Geno Smith to Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

    The Seahawks made the Cardinals pay for a turnover, picking off Kyler Murray at the Arizona 31-yard line.

  • 49ers come out throwing

    Brock Purdy hits George Kittle for a 33-yard gain on the 49ers’ opening drive.

    Two plays later, Jauan Jennings catches a 7-yard score to put San Francisco on the board first versus the Bears.

  • Arizona called for 12 men on defense

    The Seahawks are known for their 12th Man, but it’s Arizona that’s called for 12 men on the field defensively. That moves Seattle to 2nd-and-goal from the Cardinals’ 5-yard line.

    But the Seahawks can’t punch it in and have to settle for a Jason Myers field goal. Cardinals lead, 7–3.

  • Cardinals strike first

    On their sixth play of the game, the Cardinals get into the end zone. Kyler Murray hits Michael Wilson for a 42-yard score.
