Just like the rains at Soldier Field, the Chicago Bears are starting to pour it on against the San Francisco. The Bears scored their third touchdown of the second half thanks to an interception from safety Eddie Jackson.
The 49ers were driving in the fourth quarter when quarterback Trey Lance was intercepted by Eddie Jackson to give the Bears a short field and an opportunity to add to their lead. It was Jackson’s first interception since 2019.

From there, running back Khalil Herbert did the rest of the work, carrying the ball 18 yards on the drive that culminated with a three-yard score. Herbert’s touchdown put the Bears up 19-10, but kicker Cairo Santos missed the extra point.

The Bears offense has been on a tear ever since halftime, outscoring San Francisco 19-3. They lead late in the game 19-10 and are trying to hold on to go 1-0 in head coach Matt Eberflus’ debut.
