The San Francisco 49ers dominated the Chicago Bears on Sunday, securing a decisive 38-13 victory that marked their first win since Week 10.
Brock Purdy delivered a standout performance, throwing for 325 yards and two touchdowns, while George Kittle sparked the offense with a season-high 151 yards on just six catches.
Leading up to the game, rumors were flying about Kyle Shanahan possibly making a move to the Bears as their head coach.
However, Shanahan quickly put those speculations to rest with a definitive statement:
“I don’t want to be any place in the world more than here. You guys are gonna have to kick me out of here. There’s no way I’m making that decision.”

Now in his eighth season with the 49ers, Shanahan has built an impressive track record. His regular season record stands at a solid 70-58, complemented by an outstanding 8-4 playoff performance.
The coach signed a six-year contract extension back in 2020, which runs through the end of next season.
The speculation surrounding Shanahan’s future ultimately hinges on one key decision-maker: 49ers owner Jed York.
While York has remained silent, the situation remains fluid.
The Bears, actively seeking a new head coach, are likely exploring every potential avenue for leadership change.
For now, Shanahan’s commitment to the 49ers appears unwavering. His emphatic denial of any potential move speaks volumes about his attachment to the team and the organization he’s helped build.
However, the Bears will need to continue their search elsewhere, as Shanahan seems firmly planted in San Francisco.
