SANTA CLARA — The new 49ers faces on the field made solid contributions in their 38-13 win over the Chicago Bears, according to their PFF grades.

The defense outperformed a challenged Bears offense that could only muster FOUR total yards in the first half.

Talanoa Hufanga returned to the lineup alongside Malik Mustapha for the majority of the snaps while the defensive line got 11 pressures on Caleb Williams without the help of Nick Bosa, who remains sidelined with a hip/oblique injury.

Brock Purdy had a near-perfect day, completing 20 of his 25 attempts for 325 yards and two touchdowns with a 145.4 rating. Isaac Guerendo took advantage of his first NFL start, rushing for 78 yards and two touchdowns, and catching both of his targets for 50 yards.
