49ers fans surviving a four-point win over Chicago with the nerves of people who don't trust the next one.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
Survived is the operative word. B.Purdy's 38-yard strike to J.Jennings at 2:23 of the fourth was the dagger that wasn't — Chicago's offense kept marching, with C.Williams finding C.Loveland and L.Burden into the red zone before the incompletion to J.Walker with four seconds left mercifully ended it. The T.Edwards pick-six remains an ugly stain, and a defense that surrendered 38 without Kittle and Williams available raises questions a four-point home win can't quite answer.
