How Success in Chicago Can Change 49ers Perspective on Rest of Season

After a painful loss in a downpour at Levi's® Stadium, the 49ers entered Week 8 on a low note, losing four-straight games and dropping their record to 2-4 – a place the 49ers did not expect themselves to be at the beginning of the season.

January 3, 1999

Third-year 49ers receiver Terrell Owens was having a forgettable day. 

Three Steve Young passes had slipped through his hands during the 1998 Wild Card Game against Green Bay, including one that led to a Packers fumble recovery. With 1:56 remaining, quarterback Brett Favre connected on a 15-yard scoring pass to wide receiver Antonio Freeman to give the Packers a 27-23 lead.
