Donte Whitner Rips 49ers Defense After Bears Shootout

After San Francisco allowed 440 yards in their 42-38 win vs. the Bears, Whitner didn’t hold back. “I’m very disappointed in this defense,” he said, citing no pass rush, blown run fits, and “a lack of communication on the back end.” Whitner warned it’s “the type of performance that gets you sent home early,” recalling crying after the 2011 NFC title loss as a reminder of how fast seasons end.
