Three Keys for Bears to Beat 49ers

Stop the Run

The 49ers are down to their third running back, Isaac Guerendo, due to injuries to Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason. However, that won’t stop them from doing what they do best. "When they are at their best, they’re averaging 30 rushing attempts per game," Bears defensive coordinator Eric Washington said. "They complement that with the play-action and bootleg. They utilize screens to slow down your rush."

Help Caleb Stay Hot

Rookie quarterback Caleb Williams has a 99.2 passer rating in three games with interim head coach Thomas Brown calling plays. He needs to continue that ascent over the next five games. "He is going through these for the first time," said new coordinator Chris Beatty, who won’t call plays. "It’s our job to make it easier for him. We’re going to try to do better at communicating all those things in the process. … All these things are going to be beneficial for him because he is going to learn from them for the future. Let’s just hope we don’t have any more super hard ways to learn them."

Finish

The Bears have made so many mistakes late in games that it’s become almost comical. It cost Matt Eberflus his job. They can’t keep doing it. "When you look at the end-of-game situations, some of the details to finish in those moments," general manager Ryan Poles said. "We all know a lot of these games come down to those critical spots where we were not able to get over the hump."

Conclusion
To beat the 49ers, the Bears need to stop the run, help Caleb Williams stay hot, and finish strong. With a solid game plan and execution, the Bears can come out on top.
