Get scoring updates, news and analysis on Sunday at 10 a.m. when the 49ers start the Jimmy Garoppolo Era when they take on the Bears in Chicago.

Garoppolo, who grew up in nearby Arlington Heights, Ill., makes his long-awaited first start as the 49ers quarterback after some nice mop-up work in last week’s 24-13 loss to the Seahawks. Garoppolo, who went 2-for-2 for 18 yards and an otherwise meaningless touchdown pass to Louis Murphy, made two career starts in New England while backing up Tom Brady.

The 49ers certainly hope things go much better in Chicago than they did a year ago during an embarrassing 26-6 loss.
