The Chicago Bears were riding high heading into their Week 13 matchup with the San Francisco 49ers after knocking off the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Thanksgiving night, but the Bears fell 26-20 to San Francisco in overtime at Soldier Field on Sunday afternoon.
Chicago held San Francisco to just 294 yards of total offense on the day, but big plays by quarterback Blaine Gabbert near the end of regulation and in overtime sealed the victory for the 49ers.
The loss all but dashed Chicago’s slim playoff hopes, but head coach John Fox said his team needs to continue to work to get better, per the Chicago Tribune‘s Rich Campbell:
One of the things I told the team today … we’ve been a resilient, hard-playing group. Sometimes we’ve just got to be better as far as our performance. Those are the things you practice every day. You work at them — regardless of what the position is — because you’re competing against some pretty highly competitive people as well. We just try to keep getting better.
In six games at home this year, the Bears hold just a 1-5 record. However, they will look to notch just their second victory of the season at Soldier Field this Sunday when they take on the Washington Redskins.
The Bears and Redskins have met 48 times since 1932, and Washington leads the all-time series with a 24-23-1 record.
Washington is coming off a disappointing loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football, and the team is 0-5 on the road this season.
Whose stock is rising and whose stock is falling as the Bears prepare to take on the Washington Redskins in Week 14?
