The weather was soggy and the Chicago Bears’ hopes looked as downcast as the forecast on Sunday at Soldier Field.
They fell behind the San Francisco 49ers by double digits as young quarterbacks Justin Fields of Chicago and Trey Lanced matched talents.
However, Fields led a comeback and the Bears scored 19 straight points in a 19-10 victory.

Neither quarterback wowed.
Fields threw a pair of touchdown passes while only throwing for 121yards. He rushed for 28 more.
Lance was picked once while going for 164 yards. He led the Niners with 54 rushing yards.
Overall, the Niners outgained the Bears by 331-204 but lost a fumble in addition to the pick thrown by Lance.
