Heading into the regular-season finale against the Detroit Lions, the Chicago Bears had one of their worst defensive performances of the season in the 42-38 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
The 496 total yards given up was one more yard allowed than in the Bears’ 47-42 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 9. San Francisco finished five for five in the red zone and allowed 200 total rushing yards on the day.
Defensive coordinator Dennis Allen was critical of his performance during his weekly availability.
“I'm not going to spend a lot of time talking about last week,” Allen said.
