Will this week’s edition of “Sunday Night Football” be the cure that these struggling teams need?
The Los Angeles Chargers and Chicago Bears enter Week 8 with two wins apiece, both teams a disappointment, but for different reasons. The Chargers were hoping to reach the playoffs again in 2023 after a Wild Card loss the year prior, but a 2-4 record has them in the gutters of the AFC. The offensive firepower is there, as Justin Herbert, Keenan Allen, and Austin Ekeler are no slouches, but the defense is seriously lagging behind. Ranked 29th in defensive DVOA, the Chargers could use a rebound against a lesser opponent like the Bears.
