The San Francisco 49ers have found a strong replacement in Jordan Mason during Christian McCaffrey's absence, as Mason ranks second in the NFL for rushing yards and excels in elusiveness, forcing the most missed tackles among players with at least 30 touches. Meanwhile, the Chicago Bears secured a 24-18 win over the Los Angeles Rams, with rookie quarterback Caleb Williams showing improvement in short passes and D'Andre Swift finding success in both rushing and receiving, contributing significantly to the victory. The Bears defense also played a crucial role, limiting the Rams to 18 points and forcing key turnovers, including a game-sealing interception by Jaquan Brisker. Despite early struggles and a slow start, the Bears' offensive adjustments, particularly in the running game, led to a much-needed win, bringing their record to 2-2.
