Chicago Bears vs San Francisco 49ers
Sunday, September 11th @ Noon (CST)
Solider Field
FOX 32

San Francisco 49ers lead series 35-32-1
BRAXTON JONES vs NICK BOSA
Jones, the fifth round rookie, has been the Cinderella story of the first training camp of the Matt Eberflus Era. Impressing everyone in Lake Forest to the point he has runaway with the starting position to protect his young QB's blindside. Now it's time to prove he is for real in front of his new home crowd. Unfortunately, he first real test is the one man wrecking crew in Nick Bosa. Finishing last season with 15.5 sacks and 21 tackles for a loss and heading into a contract year, no one is going to be more motivated to end the rookie's early success than Bosa. Can Jones hold his own against one of the best pass rushers in the NFL or will Bosa single handley ruin the Bears' chances of opening 2022 with a W?
BEARS' RUSHING ATTACK vs FRED WARNER
The only real bright spot of the final years of the Matt Nagy offense in Chicago was a better commitment to the run. With the defensive minded Eberflus calling the shots, look for that pattern to continue early and often. While the Bears will certainly have their hands full with the Niner's own potent rushing attack, the Bears will absolutely live or die by it with a pretty subpar group of receiving options not named Mooney. That is where All Pro linebacker Warner is most vital. Not only do the Bears sport for formidable running back stable, but Warner will also have to spy on Justin Fields after he torched the Niner defense last season for 107 yards rushing with a TD run in as well. Can the Bears establish the run early on their home field or will Warner force the rookie OC in Chicago into a far more one dimensional attack?
JUSTIN FIELDS vs TREY LANCE
Sure they are never going to be on the field at the same time, but coming out of the same draft class last year and both getting their first full offseasons as the starting quarterback of their respective teams. Plus both teams used a total of five first round picks, one third round pick and two fourth round picks to draft these two quarterbacks. Both fanbases are just hoping this is the season those heavy investments pay off. Can Lance show off why Kyle Shannahan used three first round picks on him or will it be Fields making San Francisco questioning if they traded all those picks for the wrong quarterback?
