Thursday's game between the visiting Chicago Bears and the San Francisco 49ers was a little bit too close for comfort, as the game came down to the final play. For a 49er defense that's been struggling in recent weeks, they did just about everything right, causing Bears quarterback Jay Cutler to throw for a career-high 5-interceptions, including two in the end-zone and 1 with time expiring. Apart from the defense that highlighted the game, San Francisco running-back Frank Gore had the only offensive game worth mentioning for either team. Gore ran for 104 yards on 25 carries and scored the only touchdown of the game.
The 10-6 win for San Francisco put a halt to the team's 4-game losing skid as their record improves to 4-5. Chicago on the other hand drops to 4-5 in an NFC North division that seems to already be out of reach for the Bears, thanks to the 8-1 Minnesota Vikings. & With 10 weeks in the books, the Windy City is left winded by the production of newly acquired quarterback Jay Cutler. Although Cutler accumulates lots of yardage, he leads the league in interceptions with 17. The production has raised eye-brows as his counterpart Kyle Orton has led the Denver Broncos to a 6-2 start heading into Sunday and sole possession of first place in the AFC West.
Next week, The 49ers will have to stay warm as they head to the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field to face the 5-4 Green Bay Packers. The Packers are coming off of a statement game in which they shut-out the Cowboys and snapped Dallas' 4-game winning streak. & As a proud Fantasy owner of Aaron Rodgers, I just might have to have him sit this one out considering what the Niner defense did to Jay Cutler. Then again Cutler and Rodgers aren't on the same page this season.
