CHICAGO -- Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers tried everything. Deep throws and out routes. Crossing patterns and shovel passes. Nothing worked.Call it a snow day for San Franciscos aerial attack.Kaepernick completed just one pass for 4 yards before he was replaced by Blaine Gabbert in the fourth quarter, and the lowly 49ers dropped their 11th straight game with a 26-6 loss to the Chicago Bears at a wintry Soldier Field on Sunday.San Francisco (1-11) finished with a record-low 6 yards passing while strengthening its position for at least the No. 2 overall pick in next years NFL draft, handing a third win to one of their main competitors for those prized selections at the top of each round.The winless Cleveland Browns, off this weekend, have the pole position for the top spot heading into the final quarter of the season.The April draft is about all 49ers fans have to look forward to these days.We have to continue to keep building, keep progressing, Kaepernick said. This is a setback, most definitely. But we have to continue to keep pushing forward.Whether thats with Kaepernick or Gabbert at quarterback remains to be seen. Coach Chip Kelly was non-committal when asked about his starter for next weekends visit by the New York Jets.Thats not my decision, Kaepernick said. My feelings on it really dont matter at this point. Im just going to do everything I can to make sure Im prepared.Kaepernick attempted five passes and was sacked five times. Gabbert, who led San Francisco to a 26-20 overtime win in Chicago a year ago, was 4 for 10 for 35 yards.The 49ers previous franchise low for net yards passing was 10 against Detroit on Oct. 6, 1963, and it looked as if that number was safe before Gabbert was sacked by Leonard Floyd in the end zone with 1:55 left.We just had breakdowns here and there all day long and it definitely showed, Gabbert said.While the 49ers are barreling toward perhaps the worst season in franchise history, Kaepernick had been a bright spot of late. He had passed for 1,110 yards and eight touchdowns in four starts since San Franciscos bye week, nearly rallying the 49ers to a victory in Miami last weekend.But San Francisco emphasized the run right from the start against the Bears and Kaepernick never looked comfortable while playing in a steady snowfall on a typical winter day in Chicago.I think the weather was something that definitely played a factor, Kaepernick said. We have to be able to do a better job managing that, handling it, and being able to throw the ball still.Kaepernicks 4-yard pass to tight end Vance McDonald midway through the second quarter was the first completion of the day for either team. Phil Dawson then kicked the first of his two first-half field goals, helping San Francisco to a 6-0 lead.Chicago (3-9) got the ball back late in the half, and thats when Matt Barkley started to find his footing while Kaepernick continued to falter. Barkley then directed the Bears to Jordan Howard rushing touchdowns on three straight possessions, putting San Francisco away.We didnt handle the weather very well from a passing game standpoint, said Kelly, who coached with a heavy heart after the recent death of his father, Paul. It was the same for both teams, its not an excuse, they played in the same conditions.Connor Barths 45-yard field goal made it 24-6 with 12:55 left, prompting Kelly to turn to Gabbert. Kaepernick pulled on a red coat with the hood over his head and watched from the sideline, delighting the crowd of 46,622 that included a couple of strident hecklers particularly interested in the QB continuing to kneel during the national anthem to protest the treatment of minorities.Asked about kneeling during the anthem at Soldier Field, Kaepernick paid tribute to former Black Panther leader Fred Hampton, who was killed in 1969 when Chicago police raided his apartment in search of guns.I do think there is significance being here today, seeing that its the anniversary of the assassination of chairman Fred Hampton, Kaepernick said.Being in Chicago, being able to acknowledge a black figure, a black leader like him, is very important and his role in being a leader in this community and bringing this community together is something that needs to be acknowledged.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap Cheap Soccer Jerseys China .

China Jerseys NFL . -- Ty Montgomery had 290 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns, and fifth-ranked Stanford held on to beat No. CARMEL, Ind. -- The man who has been most closely tied to Tiger Woods as a rival over the past two decades was thrilled to hear Wednesday that Woods is hoping to return to competitive golf next month.Phil Mickelson wasnt aware of Woods announcement until told during the BMW Championship pro-am at Crooked Stick Golf Club.Woods announced Wednesday that he hopes to return at the Safeway Open in Napa, California, which is two weeks after the Ryder Cup. Mickelson is also playing the Safeway tournament, which is the first event of the PGA Tours 2016-17 season. Additionally, Woods said he hopes to play a European Tour event in Turkey as well as the Hero World Challenge before the end of the year.I think its great; I dont know the state of his health. I havent seen him, Mickelson said. Im looking forward to spending time with him at the Ryder Cup. I think thatll be great motivation for him. Plus, hell have a week off.Im hoping we can get paired together (at the Safeway Open.) That would be really fun. I would love it. Its great to have him back, and hopefully hes physically able to practice the way he needs.Woods, 40, will be a vice captain for Davis Love III at Hazeltine National, site of the Ryder Cup wheree Mickelson, 46, will be a member of the U.dddddddddddd. team for the 11th consecutive time.Mickelson feels the experience will be good for Woods and likened it to what Sergio Garcia did in 2010 when he didnt make the European team but was named a vice captain by Colin Montgomerie at a time when Garcias game was in decline.Just like it did for Sergio years ago when he was a vice captain, it was kind of a motivating factor for him, Mickelson said. Hopefully itll be the same for Tiger when he comes back out.Mickelson, who finished second at The Open to Henrik Stenson in July, is ranked 13th in the world. All but nine of his 42 PGA Tour victories -- and each of his five major championships -- have come during the Woods era.Were always going to have high expectations because the guy is arguably one of the two greatest players in history, if not the greatest, said Mickelson of Woods, who has 79 PGA Tour titles, including 14 majors. Our expectations of him will always be high. It doesnt mean given all the health issues and challenges that hes faced ... it doesnt mean thats fair. ' ' '
