Defensive Line
Chicago’s defensive line controlled everything up front against the Niners’ running game, helping hold them to a mere 47 yards. None of the D-linemen got to the quarterback, but they did have an impact against the passing game—especially Akiem Hicks and his three deflected passes at the line of scrimmage.
