The 49ers will be looking for their first road victory in over a year. Their last was a 16-10 win over the New York Giants on November 16, 2014. Against the Bears, they will be facing former 49ers defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, who holds the same position with Chicago, and offensive coordinator Adam Gase, who came very close to becoming San Francisco's head coach this past offseason.

The 49ers have not won in Chicago since a 28-3 victory in the NFC Championship following the 1988 season. San Francisco went on to win the Super Bowl that season.

Chicago will be the 49ers' third NFC North opponent of the season. San Francisco is 1-1 against the division this season and will travel to Detroit to face the Lions during week 16.

Against the Cardinals, WR Anquan Boldin registered eight receptions for 93 yards as he moved past former WR Randy Moss (982) for the 13th-most receptions in NFL history with 984 for his career. QB Blaine Gabbert completed 25 of 36 attempts for a career-high 318 yards, one touchdown, one interception and a passer rating of 94.4. TE Vance McDonald recorded a career-high six receptions for 71 yards, one touchdown and had a touchdown reception in back-to-back games for the first time in his career. Rookie TE Blake Bell set career highs in receptions (three) and receiving yards (67), including a career-long 48-yard reception.

The 49ers will have C Daniel Kilgore back. He was activated to the 53-man roster on Saturday. Kilgore, the former starter at center, last played in October of 2014, when he broke his ankle in a game against the Denver Broncos. C Marcus Martin, who was ranked last among NFL centers according to Pro Football Focus, has started in place of Kilgore for the 49ers this season.

Defensively, NT Mike Purcell brought down Cardinals QB Carson Palmer for his first career sack during his first career start. On special teams, K Phil Dawson connected on both of his field goal attempts on the day (50 & 33 yards). He has made 18 consecutive field goal attempts, which is tied for the second longest streak in franchise history. The 49ers have held their last three opponents to fewer than 20 points and limited the explosive Cardinals offense to 337 total yards.

The Bears have lost 11 of their last 14 at home and are 1-4 this season at Soldier Field. However, their last two losses have been close ones (five combined points) and they are depending a 49ers team that has performed much worse on the road than at home to get their second home win of the season. San Francisco has been outscored 176-71 while going 0-5 on the road this season.

The Bears defense has improved over the course of the season. They have given up only 15.5 points per game to their past four opponents. While Fangio's Chicago defense ranks second against the pass, the 49ers may be able to run on the Bears. They rank 29th against the run allowing 128.5 per game. The 49ers will have to do it without RB Carlos Hyde, who will miss his fifth straight game with a stress fracture in his foot. RB Shaun Draughn, who spent time with Chicago in 2014, will continue to carry the load in his place.
