As the San Francisco 49ers have already secured a playoff spot this season, they are preparing to face one of the most surprising teams of the regular season: The Chicago Bears. The Bears have delivered an outstanding performance so far and are keen to maintain their momentum in the final games. In their Week 17 matchup against the 49ers, they might face the challenge of playing against George Kittle.
