Wins are hard to come by in the NFL, and the Chicago Bears learned that the hard way in their 26-20 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13.
The Bears struggled on offense in the first half, but they were able to claim a 20-13 lead late in the fourth quarter before the 49ers stormed down the field and tied the game up on a touchdown run by quarterback Blaine Gabbert.
Chicago had a chance to win the game late in the fourth quarter, but kicker Robbie Gould missed a game-winning field goal, and San Francisco was able to claim the victory in overtime on a 71-yard touchdown pass from Gabbert to wide receiver Torrey Smith.
After taking down the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving night at Lambeau Field, the Bears had momentum on their side, but head coach John Fox admitted on Sunday the team cannot get caught up in the past.
“It really isn’t what you’ve done last week, it’s what have you done for me lately in this league,” said Fox, per ChicagoBears.com’s Larry Mayer. “You’ve got to be ready every week and you’ve got to perform at a high level. We came up a little short today.”
Sunday’s loss dropped the Bears to 5-7 on the season, and they are just 1-5 at home in 2015. Chicago will host the Washington Redskins in Week 14 at Soldier Field.
