Week 13 was an awesome week of NFL action, with games spread out throughout the holiday week. Now, it is time to look ahead to some of the great games lined up for Week 14 of the season. In an afternoon primetime spot, the Chicago Bears are traveling west to take on the San Francisco 49ers.

It looks like star RB Christian McCaffrey will miss the remainder of the season with a lower-body injury.
With that happening, you could feel the life from the 49ers team get sucked out of them. The offense could never get going during the blizzard-like environment. Brock Purdy, who came into this game banged up, threw for just 94 yards on 18 atte
