SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Brock Purdy and Christian McCaffrey each promoted the other player’s candidacy for MVP after another dominating performance for the San Francisco 49ers.Both have worthy cases as they keep piling up yards and touchdowns at a staggering pace that has positioned the Niners as the league’s most dangerous offense following a 45-29 victory Sunday over the Arizona Cardinals.It’s a great luxury for the 49ers (11-3).“It means the offense is playing really well,” left tackle Trent Williams said. “We have the best running back in the NFL, so for him to get MVP consideration I think that’s his just due.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — The Chicago Bears were inching closer toward playoff contention with a 10-point lead and another win in sight.That’s one reason why a 20-17 loss at Cleveland stung so much. And a night to sleep on it didn’t exactly ease the pain.“I think it stings more,” tight end Cole Kmet said Monday. “Felt pretty good that if you win out that we could do something here. I thought things were kinda coming together for us as a team and yeah, just disappointing to fall short there and especially feeling like we built some momentum in previous weeks.”The Bears were in position to win their third straight game and match their best streak since a three-game run late in 2020, only to squander a double-digit, fourth-quarter lead for the third time in a loss. They came up short when Darnell Mooney let a Hail Mary pass squirt through his hands as he fell backward.Chicago can point to a whole bunch of reasons for the loss besides that final play, from an offense that str...
