Notes:
Series History: The Bears lead the series 7-5. The Bears won the last meeting 22-19 in 2015.
Bears are 3.5 pt favorites against the Chargers
On Trubisky: "He is 29th out of 31 eligible quarterbacks in QBR (34.3). He’s 28th in passing yards per game (167.8), 34th in yards per attempt (5.24) and tied for 29th in touchdown passes (five)... Thirty-one regular season starts is a large enough sample size. If Trubisky can’t get it done against the Chargers, he never will" (Dickerson, ESPN.com, 11/22)
Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics: "The Bears defense currently ranks 13th in pass D, 12th in rushing yards allowed, 10th in third-down percent allowed, 10th in total yards given up, seventh in sacks and fifth in scoring D. Last year, Chicago ranked No. 1 in Football Outsiders DVOA, with the top-ranked pass D and No. 2 run defense. Per Football Outsiders, the Bears were drastically better than any other D last season (-26.0 percent while No. 2 was -14.5 percent). Through six games, they've fallen to sixth overall, eighth versus the pass and 16th against the run, in FO's metrics. Not shabby. But no longer impenetrable" (Patra, NFL.com, 10/25)
