    That’s because they did what they needed to do today in San Francisco Chicago Bears Jerseys 2019 , beating the 49ers in a 14-9 game that saw their defense dominate but their offense and special teams look less than impressive.The good news for the Bears was that they held the 49ers’ offense largely in check, especially after running back Matt Breida exited with an injury. The Bears’ defense has been strong all year and looks strong heading into the playoffs as well.The Bears’ offense was not as impressive. Chicago punted three times, Mitchell Trubisky lost a fumble and threw an ugly interception that was called back by a 49ers penalty. Most egregiously, Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson lost a fumble after picking up a first down after the two-minute warning, with the 49ers out of timeouts, when all he had to do was go down and let the Bears kneel three times to ice the game. That gave the 49ers new life, but they weren’t able to do anything with it.Bears kicker Cody Parkey also missed his only field goal attempt, which is particularly disappointing on a day that former Bears kicker Robbie Gould went 3-for-3 for the 49ers. The 49ers won the special teams battle, even as the Bears won the game.San Francisco, which drops to 4-11 with the loss, is going nowhere. Chicago Youth Kerrith Whyte Jersey , which improves to 11-4, has already clinched the NFC North and will now hope to win next week while the Rams lose, which is what they’ll need to get the first week of the playoffs off. The annual coaching carousel soon will spin, and the league has been working to compile a list of recommended candidates for the looming array of vacancies.Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the first tier of coaching candidates consists, in no particular order, of Cowboys defensive backs coach and passing game coordinator Kris Richard, Chargers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt (a two-time former head coach), Steelers offensive line coach Mike Munchak (former coach of the Titans), Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels (former Broncos head coach), former Packers coach Mike McCarthy Cheap Kerrith Whyte Jersey , Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, Patriots linebackers coach Brian Flores, and former Colts and Lions coach Jim Caldwell.The second tier consists of Saints defensive coordinator Dennis Allen (former Raiders coach), Chargers defensive coordinator Gus Bradley (former Jaguars head coach), Saints assistant head coach/tight ends coach Dan Campbell, Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, Ravens defensive coordinator Don Martindale, and Buccaneers offensive coordinator Todd Monken.Packets for each candidate will be made available to the teams that will be hiring a head coach without the use of an outside consultant. (The Packers, for example, aren’t using a consultant.) The Career Development Advisory Panel for 2019 consists of Bruce Arians, Bill Cowher Kerrith Whyte Jersey Color Rush , Dick Daniels, James “Shack” Harris, Charley Casserly, John Madden, and Jimmy Raye III.Madden is a highly influential voice on the panel, given his ongoing relationship with the NFL’s coaches. Arians is an intriguing presence, given that he has openly stumped for the vacancy in Cleveland.
