Mitchell tied quarterback Billy Kilmer for the most games by a rookie with over 100 yards rushing. Kilmer had three in 1961. Mitchell also became the first 49ers player with at least 100 yards rushing in consecutive games since Matt Breida accomplished the feat in Weeks 10 and 12 (Week 11 bye) of the 2018 season.
In April, San Francisco made Mitchell a sixth-round draft pick out of Louisiana. The rookie has 433 total rushing yards this season.
The 49ers beat the Bears 33-22 to improve to 3-4 on the season, finally snapping a four-game losing streak. San Francisco will host the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9.
