Lost in the sauce of Sunday night’s thriller in San Francisco—a 42–38 49ers victory over the Bears— was Chicago wide receiver Luther Burden leaving the game with an injury.
With the Bears' offense on the goal line and trailing by four with just four seconds to go, Caleb Williams tried to make fourth-quarter magic happen once again. He scrambled to his left, to his right, and then backwards before heaving the ball into the end zone—only to see it fall incomplete, sealing a 49ers win. In the process of trying to get open for his quarterback, Burden suffered a quad injury and remained on the turf for several moments as team trainers attended to him.
