The Los Angeles Chargers vs. Chicago Bears game on Sunday at the SoFi Stadium is going to be an exciting contest. It is a game between two teams that are in a spot of bother. The Chargers are 2-4 through seven weeks and the Bears are 2-5. Both these teams came into the season with playoff expectations. However, it hasn’t gone well for either of these teams so far.

The Chargers have a terrific roster. They shouldn’t be in this position. Justin Herbert is one of the best QBs in the league and they have some great weapons on both sides of the ball.

The Chargers are in this position largely due to poor coaching. Head coach Brandon Staley has failed to extract the best out of his talented defense so far and as a result of that, the Los Angeles-based team is one of the worst defensive teams in the league.

The Bears, on the other hand, are probably one of the worst teams in the league. They have struggled since day one and have been marred by some off-the-field issues as well. Their starting QB, Justin Fields, did not play in their last game due to injury. He has been ruled out of this game as well. Interestingly, their best win of the season came last week, without the services of Fields, when they beat the Las Vegas Raiders by 18 points.

Here is all you need to know about the Chargers-Bears matchup.

Why the Los Angeles Chargers can win?

One name: Justin Herbert. The 25-year-old signal-caller is one of the best in the league and has had a tremendous start to his career. He already has 15,681 passing yards in his career. He is fourth on the list of players with the most passing yards in his first four seasons.

Herbert will have a favorable matchup against the Bears’ pass rush, which ranks last in sack rate this season. The Chicago-based team is second to last in sacks with 10.

Why the Chicago Bears can win?

The Bears’ WR D.J. Moore is off to a great start this season. He ranks fifth in the NFL in receiving yards with 636. That is the most receiving yards through the Bears’ first seven games since Brandon Marshall in 2012.

The Chargers’ offense has gone a bit off the cliff after a good start to the season. They have been averaging only 19.3 points per game in their last three matches. It will be a good opportunity for a lackluster Bears defense to get back in form against the Chargers.
