The Bears picked up a much-needed, bounce-back win against the 49ers on Sunday night and they did so in surprising fashion. Down by 13 heading into the fourth quarter, the Bears reeled off 21 unanswered points and shocked the Niners on the road. Jay Cutler threw for 176 yards and four touchdowns in the win, three of which went to receiver Brandon Marshall. The Bears defense also came through big in the win, forcing four turnovers from Niners quarterback Colin Kaepernick. The win helped the Bears improve to 1-1 on the year and into a four-way tie for first place in the NFC North.
