Bears-49ers Fast Facts

(CBS) As you well know by now, the Bears rallied for a 28-20 win against the 49ers in Santa Clara last night. In what was a rather improbable win given the atrocious start for Chicago, here are a few fast facts...

--- Before Sunday night, the last time Chicago had won in San Francisco was Oct. 13, 1985, during its famed Super Bowl season. In that 26-10 win against the defending Super Bowl champions, the Bears took an early 13-0 lead and sacked Hall of Fame 49ers quarterback Joe Montana seven times, which at the time was the most in his career. That game was notable for another reason, too. Lineman William "The Refrigerator" Perry got the first two carries of his career in the game, and they went for a combined four years. It was apparently a shot back at the 49ers, who in the previous season's NFC championship game had used guard Guy McIntyre at fullback. Bears coach Mike Ditka wanted to get the last word. Chicago had lost eight straight in San Francisco after that 1985 win.

--- Bears rookie cornerback Kyle Fuller had two interceptions Sunday in his second career game. With the performance, he became the first rookie in franchise history to have a two-interception game since safety Chris Harris did so against the Packers on Christmas Day in 2005 .

--- Quarterback Jay Cutler had a passer rating of 119.2. Cutler-led teams have a record of 29-3 in his career when he has a passer rating of 100.0 or better.

--- Receiver Brandon Marshall's three touchdown receptions raised his total to 27 with the Bears, tied for seventh-most in franchise history. It was also Marshall's second career three-touchdown game, the other coming on Nov. 4, 2012 at Tennessee.

--- Cutler's six touchdown passes this season are tied with Denver's Peyton Manning for the most in the NFL, though the Eagles and Colts still have to play their Week 2 game tonight. Marshall's four touchdown receptions are also tied for first in the league, along with Denver tight end Julius Thomas.

--- Penalties were a theme Sunday, with the Bears committing 10 fouls for 58 yards and the 49ers topping that with an astronomical 16 penalties for 118 yards.
