Chicago Bears defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson complained about a penalty that was called on him in the second quarter against the San Francisco 49ers<\/a> on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

The Bears<\/a> and 49ers were in the midst of an intense matchup. Niners quarterback Brock Purdy took a snap from the Bears\u2019 7-yard line and threw the ball to Ricky Pearsall. Gardner-Johnson intercepted the pass in what would have been a crucial turnover.<\/p>\n

However, Gardner-Johnson appeared to put his hands to Pearsall\u2019s face at the snap. The penalty negated the turnover and Purdy would score on a 3-yard run two plays later. The 49ers took a 28-21 lead into halftime. San Francisco went on to win the game, 42-38.<\/p>\n

“BS call smh,” he wrote on X.<\/p>\n

Gardner-Johnson finished with five tackles and a pass breakup in the loss.<\/p>\n

The Purdy rushing touchdown was one of his five on the night. He had three passing touchdowns and two rushing scores.<\/p>\n

The Bears became the second team in the Super Bowl era to lose a game in the regular season when they scored at least 25 points, got a defensive touchdown and didn\u2019t turn the ball over.<\/p>\n

“When you go against a dynamic offense like that, you talk about the possibilities as an offense of going tit-for-tat with them, and at times we may answer that call,” Bears head coach Ben Johnson said. “They just ended up making more plays than us.”<\/p>\n

Purdy threw a pick six to T.J. Edwards on the first drive of the game.<\/p>\n

Luckily, Chicago wrapped up an NFC North title on Saturday thanks to the Green Bay Packers\u2019<\/a> loss to the Baltimore Ravens. It\u2019s the first time the Bears captured a division title since 2018. Chicago will be making its first playoff appearance since 2020 when they went 8-8.<\/p>\n

The Bears haven\u2019t won a playoff game since the 2010 season.<\/p>\n
