Ten aspects to dig into about the 49ers’ season-opening loss at Chicago, from Trey Lance’s postgame words to Elijah Mitchell’s knee and more from the locker room.
CHICAGO — The 49ers’ season-opening loss at Chicago will be remembered for the rainy mess, the dozen penalties, the defensive freefall, and the inability of Trey Lance to pull out a Jimmy Garoppolo-esque fourth-quarter comeback win here.
What was Lance’s demeanor down the stretch? “He was laid back, even when it was pouring down rain and it was a two-score game and we had to make something happen really quick,” Williams replied. “He didn’t waver at all. He stayed calm, cool, and collected.” Mitchell’s knee took a hard hit from safety Eddie Jackson on an 11-yard run early in the second quarter, and Mitchell stayed in the game. He had a 1-yard carry on the next snap, and he helped block a few snaps later on Deebo Samuel’s touchdown run. Considering how banged up Mitchell got in his 963-yard rookie season, this latest health alert seems too familiar.
San Francisco 49ers’ Talanoa Hufanga reacts after intercepting a pass during the first half of an NFL football game against the Chicago Bears Sunday, Sept. 11, 2022, in Chicago. Samuel’s turnover was negated on the ensuing series when safety Talanoa Hufanga intercepted Fields. Hufanga finished with a career-high 11 tackles. “From what I saw out there, it looked like he played really well,” Shanahan said. “I was seeing him a lot early, especially making that turnover.
How did it compare to the 49ers’ rain-soaked loss at home against Indianapolis last year? “Today was probably worse,” safety Talanoa Hufanga said. “But conditions don’t matter. It makes it fun. It’s not an advantage for the defense or the offense. Everybody is feeling the same thing on the field.”
