The Bears didn’t hire Jim Harbaugh — didn’t even try, in fact. But they can still follow his lead.
The Chargers are 2-0 for the first time since 2012, and not because Harbaugh has taken $52.5 million-a-year quarterback Justin Herbert to the next level, but because he’s invigorated a lackluster run game.
The Chargers, who were 25th, 30th and 21st in rushing under Brandon Staley, are second in the NFL after two games this season (197.5 yards per game) after rushing for 176 and 219 yards in victories over the Raiders and Panthers.
