The 49ers graded out badly in almost all aspects in Sunday’s 19-10 season-opening loss to the Chicago Bears.
CHICAGO — Here is how the 49ers graded in Sunday’s 19-10 season-opening loss to the Chicago Bears:Obviously the rainy weather made passing difficult, but it’s not why Trey Lance had a fourth-quarter pass intercepted on a drive in which the 49ers needed to answer the Bears’ go-ahead touchdown. Lance said his eyes didn’t trick safety Eddie Jackson long enough on that failed attempt to Jauan Jennings.
Third-down sacks by Samson Ebukam and Nick Bosa set an early tone … that Justin Fields eventually changed with his scrambling ability. Coverage snafus also arose, especially on the 51-yard bomb to 49ers castoff Dante Pettis that ignited the Bears’ comeback. Fields was just 8-of-17 for 121 yards, and he had a pass intercepted by Talanoa Hufanga. But the 49ers should have pinned him in more, and too often there was an escape hatch up the middle for him to run or throw.
