The Chicago Bears are starting, once again, a rebuilding process. New general manager Ryan Poles and new head coach Matt Eberflus trust second year quarterback Justin Fields to take the next step after a really struggling 2021 season. The Bears, one of the historic franchises in the NFL, were a huge disappointment with a 6-11 record and missing the playoffs for the ninth time in the last 11 years.

Meanwhile, the San Francisco 49ers have finally pulled the plug making the quarterback change everyone was expecting. Trey Lance is up with the starting job and Jimmy Garoppolo goes to the bench even after taking the team to last year's NFC Championship game.

Chicago Bears vs San Francisco 49ers: Storylines

Last year, the Chicago Bears shocked the NFL Draft after trading up to grab quarterback Justin Fields with the No.11 overall pick after his impressive college career at Ohio State. The problem was that Fields had very mediocre numbers in his rookie season when he is expected to be the future of the franchise: 7 touchdown passes, 10 interceptions and 73.2 of rating.

The San Francisco 49ers and head coach Kyle Shanahan are ready to risk it all. After trading in 2021 three first-round picks to select Trey Lance in the NFL Draft, thousands of fans believe that former North Dakota State's star is the key to win the sixth Super Bowl for the franchise. Jimmy Garoppolo stays with the team as the backup after accepting a big pay cut.
