Chargers News: LA Could Be Vulnerable Against A Terrible Bears Team

LA can't take the Bears for granted this week...

After another loss this past week, your Los Angeles Chargers are searching for answers. They had hoped that their issues were behind them, but two straight losses have pushed them back toward the forefront.

Now, the Bolts are set to welcome in the Chicago Bears, a team that LA should easily beat. But don't be so sure that the Chargers will come out with a win.

“

Chargers fans should be worried about their team right now whether a favorite, an underdog or a pick ’em. The Chargers defensively continue to disappoint, and their offense has sputtered over the last 2 1/2 games. Quarterback Justin Herbert, who is dealing with a broken left middle finger, has not been his typical self of late. Against the Bears, the Chargers opened as nearly double-digit favorites, which seems wildly off target given their recent play.”

Per Jeff Miller of The LA Times

While the Bolts should be favorites in this game against Chicago, they can’t overlook the Bears. LA has consistently played down to their opponents, and if they do it again, they will find themselves in a battle that they never wanted to be in.

The Chargers can’t afford another loss here, so they will need to make sure that they come in prepared for this matchup. Sitting at 2-4 on the year, the Chargers have very little margin for error, especially being in the AFC.

The old saying of any given Sunday still rings true to this day. In fact, just last week we saw multiple upsets around the NFL.

“Buffalo just lost to 1-5 New England. Detroit, at 5-1, got stomped so fast by Baltimore, the Lions were out of it by halftime. There are no sure things this season, and particularly not with a Chargers team that gets wobbly down the stretch.”

Per Sam Farmer of The LA Times

If LA gets complacent or they don’t take the Bears seriously, it could be their downfall. If they were to lose this game, it would all but end their season. This is their chance to at least start building themselves back to contention.
