49ers get help from Bears in NFC West race

The Chicago Bears defeated the Seattle Seahawks 34-17 on Monday night at Lumen Field, aiding the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC West race. The defeat dropped the defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks to a 4-4 record, tied with the Los Angeles Rams. San Francisco remains at the top of the division with a 6-1 record despite managing injuries across the first half of the season.

Coming off their bye week following a Week 7 defeat to the Atlanta Falcons, the 49ers hold the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoff picture. Both the Seahawks and Rams currently sit outside playoff qualification. San Francisco prepares to host the Las Vegas Raiders at Levi's Stadium on Sunday as they aim to expand their divisional advantage.
