There are three other 5-6 teams, but two of those, the Washington Redskins and New York Giants, are tied for the East lead.

The Niners have been dealing with injuries to running back Carlos Hyde and quarterback Colin Kaepernick and have lost their last two games.<\/p>\n<p>In the last three games since becoming the primary running back, Shaun Draughn has rushed 43 times for 146 yards \u2014 just 3.4 yards per carry \u2014 but has 17 catches for 113 yards.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, the Bears gave up 177 yards on 28 carries. San Francisco might try to focus on the ground game, too.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We just got to get better on run defense \u2014 and that&#8217;s what our focus has got to be in,&#8221; Bears outside linebacker Pernell McPhee told the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/chicago.suntimes.com\/bears-football\/7\/71\/1143368\/3-things-bears-will-look-49ers\">Chicago Sun-Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Since replacing Kaepernick, backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert has completed 62 of 95 passes for 767 yards and four touchdowns with three interceptions in three games. Last week, he threw for 318 yards, a career high, in a 19-13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.<\/p>\n<p>The Bears&#8217; defensive backs have been a concern at times this season. But the secondary helped Chicago make a defensive stand at the end of the game last week, when Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw four incomplete passes in a row.<\/p>\n<p>The Bears\u2019 new defensive coordinator, Vic Fangio, is the former defensive coordinator for the Niners, so he should be familiar with the team.
