LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- A winning record, a shot at the playoffs and just about all hope for something positive got squashed almost as soon as the season started.The Chicago Bears have that in common with the San Francisco 49ers. But at least they have won since the season opener.San Francisco will try to snap a franchise-record 10-game losing streak when it visits Chicago in a matchup between two of the NFLs worst teams on Sunday. The 49ers (1-10) have not won since they opened with a 28-0 win over Los Angeles, though its not like the Bears (2-9) have fared much better.I think these guys have been fantastic in terms of their approach every day, San Francisco coach Chip Kelly said.Both teams have been hit hard by injuries and poor play in general. Theyre simply looking for some signs of progress in the final stretch of a dismal season.You are only as good as your record says you are, Bears linebacker Willie Young said. Weve been battling, from A to Z, weve been battling. I really feel that this year, with all of the young guys that we have, and even guys coming from winning organizations who are not familiar with dealing with adversity like such, I really think its going to help and build us as a team in the future.Here are some things to know as the 49ers try to end their slide against the struggling Bears:BARKLEYS CHANCE: Chicagos Matt Barkley will try to build on a promising performance in last weeks 27-21 loss to Tennessee .He threw for a career-high 316 yards and his first three touchdowns as a pro with Jay Cutler sidelined by a right shoulder injury, and he led a fourth-quarter rally that came up short when Josh Bellamy dropped a pass in the end zone in the final minute.Now, hes about to meet the coach who drafted him . The former Southern California quarterback was taken by Philadelphia in the fourth round in 2013 but wasnt seen as a good fit for Kellys offense because he is not particularly mobile.Barkley appeared in four games with the Eagles before getting traded in 2015 to Arizona, where he never played. He signed with Chicago in September and is a getting a chance with Cutler, Brian Hoyer and Connor Shaw all injured.KAEPERNICKS COMEBACK: Colin Kaepernick is starting to perform like its 2012 again.Benched midway through last year and limited by injuries during the offseason, he is once again showing the form that made him one of the most promising young quarterbacks. And it seems Kellys system suits him.It gives you an opportunity to run a wide-open offense and theres a lot of clarity in the quarterbacks mind, as far as what we want to do, how were trying to get things done, which is very advantageous, he said.Kaepernick threw for 296 yards and three touchdowns against Miami last week . He also ran for 113 yards and nearly led a late tying driving before being tackled at the 2 as time expired, ending another solid performance for a player who has been coming on strong. He struggled in his first two starts after regaining the No. 1 spot from Blaine Gabbert. But its been a different story the past four games.Kaepernick has completed 59.3 percent of his passes for 1,110 yards, eight TDs, two interceptions and a 96 rating. He has also rushed for 223 yards in that span, averaging 7.7 yards per carry.HANG ON: Bears receivers will have to do a better job this week.Chicago dropped 10 passes against Tennessee, an unacceptable number even without the suspended Alshon Jeffery and injured Kevin White and tight end Zach Miller. Marquess Wilson was among those with at least one drop, though he did set career highs with eight catches for 125 yards.TURNOVERS: San Francisco is having trouble hanging onto the ball, and Chicago cant seem to take it away.The 49ers are tied for fifth with 20 turnovers -- three shy of the league lead. They had a tough time against the Dolphins, losing a fumble at the Miami 16 and having a deflected pass intercepted to give Miami the ball at the San Francisco 26.The Bears have just eight takeaways. Only Jacksonville (seven) has fewer.FLORIDA STAY: Rather than fly home between games at Miami and Chicago, the 49ers decided to stay in the Sunshine State. So they spent the week in Orlando practicing at the University of Central Florida. The coach there is Scott Frost, who worked on Kellys staff at Oregon.Its not about packing up and coming to Orlando, Kelly said. It was about not going back. So, it saves you on travel and wear and tear.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL . Bill Ranford Jersey . SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. Andrej Sekera Jersey .

That attitude has helped them put together their best stretch of the season. Jason Vargas completed an undefeated May with seven sharp innings, Howie Kendrick doubled twice and scored three runs, and the Angels beat the Dodgers 3-2 Thursday night on Chris Nelsons tiebreaking RBI single to salvage a split of the four-game Freeway Series. The Angels have won 10 of 12 but have gained only 3 1/2 games in the AL West standings during that stretch and still trail division-leading Texas by 8 1/2. "I cant even tell you the last time I even thought about a deficit. I cant even tell you how many games Texas or any other team has won or lost," Kendrick said. "The biggest thing for us is just to put up Ws and go from there. The more you worry about those things, the tougher it gets." Vargas (5-3) allowed two runs and five hits, struck out six and walked two. The left-hander was 5-0 with a 2.30 ERA in six starts this month, after going 0-3 with a 4.85 ERA in five starts during April. "I dont really have an answer for that, other than getting more outs," Vargas said. "There wasnt anything I tried to change or do differently. Im just being more consistent." Vargas has three of the victories during the Angels recent surge. "I faced Vargas for years when he was with Seattle, and you know what youre going to get," Kendrick said. "I mean, the guy finds a way to get it done." Ernesto Frieri pitched a scoreless ninth for his 12th save in 13 attempts, one night after giving up home runs to Adrian Gonzalez and Scott Van Slyke in a save. Ted Lilly (0-2) was charged with three runs, five hits and three walks in 5 2-3 innings and struck out three. "Hes kind of crafty because hes got that windup where he kind of throws off your timing a little bit. So the biggest thing is to try to wait for him to make a mistake," Kendrick said. "He made a few mistakes tonight and we were able to put some runs on the board, but he threw pretty well." Lilly was a strike away from getting out of the sixth but walked Chris Iannetta on a borderline pitch on the inside corner, putting runners at the corners. Manager Don Mattingly then replaced the left-hander with Ronald Belisario. "I didnt get the key out in the sixth when I needed it," Lilly said. "I gave up a double to Kendrick. I had Iannetta and ended up letting that at-bat get away. I had him 1-2 and didnt put him away. The objective is not just to feel good at this point. The objective was to get the job done. But I walked three guys and I only went 5 2-3 innings. Not enough was woorking right.dddddddddddd." Nelson, making his first appearance in the Angels starting lineup as the designated hitter after getting claimed off waivers from the Yankees on May 17, drove in Kendrick with a bouncing single off Belisarios glove to snap a 2-all tie. Another infield hit by J.B. Shuck loaded the bases, but Belisario retired Erick Aybar on a groundout after getting a visit from pitching coach Rick Honeycutt. The Dodgers played without slumping centre fielder Matt Kemp, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list one day after straining his right hamstring chasing down a double to right-centre by Mike Trout. The Angels scratched right fielder Josh Hamilton was not in the starting lineup for the second time in three games because of back spasms. But he entered to play right field in the eighth with the Angels trying to protect their one-run lead. Alberto Callaspo put the Angels ahead 2-1 in the fourth with an RBI single, following a one-out triple to right-centre by Kendrick. But the Dodgers tied it when Ramon Hernandez drove Vargas first pitch of the fifth inning into the left field bullpen for his second home run with the club. Carl Crawford, who came in 0 for 9 against Vargas, drove his second pitch of the game over the head of right fielder Mark Trumbo for a triple and scored on Gonzalezs sacrifice fly. Crawford turned in the Dodgers best defensive play of the season in the bottom half, racing full speed on a flyball down the left field line by the switch-hitting Callaspo and making a diving catch across the chalk before slamming into the short wall in front of the box seats. Kendrick had to stay put at first base, but he eventually scored the tying run when Iannetta followed with a two-out RBI double over the head of Andre Ethier -- who started in centre field while Van Slyke played right. Kemp, a two-time Gold Glove winner, is on the DL for the fourth time in his career -- including two stints last season because of a left hamstring strain that ended his consecutive game playing streak at 399 and cost him a combined 51 games. The Dodgers were 24-27 in his absence. The MVP runner-up two seasons ago, was hitting .251 with two homers and 17 RBIs in 51 games following off-season shoulder surgery, and has struck out 60 times in 191 at-bats. NOTES: First base ump Gary Darling blew a call in the Angels eighth, ruling Shuck safe on a slow bouncer to a charging Mark Ellis. TV replays clearly showed Shuck was out by a step, and Mattingly came out to argue. ... The Angels are 51-31 against the Dodgers in the regular season since hiring manager Mike Scioscia, who has caught more games than anyone in Dodgers history. ... Iannetta came in 2 for 16 lifetime against Lilly. Cheap Jerseys Store Wholesale Jerseys 2018 Wholesale Jerseys Jerseys NFL China Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys 2018 Cheap NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
