The San Francisco 49ers (5-7) enter Week 14 of the NFL season with a troubling injury report and with their playoff hopes on the verge of slipping away.
The 49ers have lost three straight and sit two games behind the Seattle Seahawks in the race for the NFC West title.
San Francisco is without its top two running backs. Christian McCaffrey is sidelined with a PCL injury and Jordan Mason is nursing a high ankle sprain. The 49ers will also be without starting left tackle Trent Williams and left guard Aaron Banks remains questionable as he recovers from a concussion.
In a game where something has to give, the Chicago Bears (4-8) enter on their own six-game losing streak.
Chicago’s embarrassing clock management to close its Thanksgiving Day loss at Detroit resulted in head coach Matt Eberflus’ firing. However, during its six-game losing streak, the Bears have lost four one-score games.
Here’s how to watch the 49ers game, including time, TV schedule and streaming information:
