Where the Bears rank statistically after Week 1

The Chicago Bears opened the 2022 season with a 19-10 comeback victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

It was an ugly game with brutal weather conditions so it was hard to make a true assessment of this Bears offense and defense. Still, Chicago overcame a 10-point deficit to score 19 unanswered points in the second half to pull off the upset win.
