:lol: Chicago gets called for a delay of game before the FG, making it a 50 yarder. They had a timeout, too! Gould nails it anyway. 7-3 SF at the half.
SF stopped on 4th and 2 feet at the Chicago 45. Crowd erupts with cheers at the call, which is a bit odd, because the game is in California.
again San Fran blitzes, and again Cutler hits Forte with a short screen. 31 yard gain. It's been working all night.
good punt from Lee and the SF coverage was all over Hester, but Battle grabs his facemask. Costly 15 yard penalty.
2-10-CHI 44(3:01) (Shotgun) J.Cutler pass short middle to E.Bennett pushed ob at SF 16 for 40 yards (D.Goldson). Penalty on CHI-P.Mannelly, Ineligible Downfield Pass, offsetting, enforced at CHI 44 - No Play. Penalty on SF-T.Brown, Unnecessary Roughness, offsetting. 1-10-SF 41(2:35) J.Cutler pass incomplete deep right to K.Davis. Makes no sense. They said offsetting, but then they marked off the penalty on San Francisco. Great punt by Maynard. Ball goes out of bounds at the 6.
(13:34) (Shotgun) J.Cutler to SF 47 for no gain. FUMBLES, and recovers at SF 47. J.Cutler pass INTERCEPTED by M.Roman at SF 29. M.Roman to CHI 44 for 27 yards (M.Forte). Huh???
Kreutz with a terrible snap along the ground. Cutler picked it up and rushed a throw. Could've been called interference on Roman.
direct snap for Gore on third down, who went about 30 yards with it and then fumbled. They call it SF ball. Gore was hurt on the play. Josh Morgan recovered. Gore back in. It's now 3rd and goal. First down Gore got it to the 1, but he's stopped for a loss on 2nd down.
3-3-CHI 42(3:57) (Shotgun) A.Smith pass short right to M.Robinson to CHI 38 for 4 yards (L.Briggs). 1-10-CHI 38(3:47) F.Gore up the middle to CHI 38 for no gain (L.Briggs). The announcers claimed the clock kept running after the completion to Robinson (he stayed in bounds), but it noticeably stopped at 3:53 and held there until the next play. There was no timeout by the Bears there. Sounds like the officials screwed up. Bears called their second timeout with 2:53 left. 49ers had it at the 34 and instead of trying a long FG, they try a punt and Lee punts it into the endzone. Net of 14. Nice job, Lee.
4th and 10 for the Bears with 2:30 left incomplete, but there's a flag. illegal contact on Dre' Bly, automatic first down would've ended the game otherwise. Cutler took a shot in the ribs from Lawson.
