1st half of the Chicago Bears against the San Francisco 49er’s in week 11

The 49er’s are the first to get the football and they get a first down on their first play. And ironically enough the Bears get an unnecessary roughness 15 yard penalty on the play so a big gain on the first play.

San Francisco has been pretty effective so far in the air and have moved down field well and have made it into the red zone fairly quickly. They go for a pass play in the end zone on a 3rd and one but it didn’t work and they take the field goal so they are first to put the points on the board. Score is 3 to 0.

Chicago goes 3 and out on their first drive. They also had a bad kick so the 49er’s start with good field position on their next drive.

Another drive by San Francisco with passes and a big pass puts them in a 1st and goal situation, then a pass into the end zone and suddenly the 49er’s have a 10 point lead and are shutting out the Bears. Score is 10 to 0. Chicago has a little better drive but they can’t convert a 3rd down around mid field and have to punt again.

As the 1st period ends the score is at San Francisco 10 to Chicago 0. The 49er’s have possession and the ball is on the 36 with a 2nd and 3.

Even though the Chicago Bears are the NFC North leaders, their offense is not playing like they are. They need to start doing something on the offensive side of the ball with the next drive in order to stay alive in this game.

On a 3rd and 12 Chicago tries a pass play and instead of converting the 3rd down Tarell Brown corner back for San Francisco intercepts the football and the 49er’s have another chance to put more points up before the end of the first half.

A great run once again by Frank Gore and they have a first down. San Francisco is mixing it up well switching it up between play action and short pass plays as well as running plays and many of them have been gaing them the yards they need. They are in the red zone again threatening to put Chicago in a 3 score deficit.

Chicago makes a big play on defense and gets the sack on a 3rd and 11 and for them to go for a field goal giving the 49er’s their 4th score. The score now stands at 20 to 0. There is just over 6 minutes left in the first half.

The Bears start their next drive from the 30. A 3 and out once again and the Bears have to punt the ball back to San Francisco again. This drive the Bears are able to break up a 3rd down and force the 49er’s to punt.

With just over 2 minutes left on the clock, Chicago still has enough time to get some points up before the end of the half. Another 3 and out from deep inside their own territory and Chicago punts and the 49er’s will take over with the ball on their own 38.

Chicago stops San Francisco again and has one last shot with less than a minute to go in the first half but they can’t make anything happen. The half time score in San Francisco 20 to Chicago 0.
