Week 1: Bears at Chargers

Chargers 14
Bears 3

Good:

• Mike Brown had 2 takeaways: an interception and a fumble recovery.


• Adewale Ogunleye, Mark Anderson, and Nathan Vasher had sacks.


• Tommie Harris forced a fumble.


• The Bears Defense held LaDainian Tomlinson to 25 yards rushing.

Bad:

• Four turnovers (Grossman INT, McGowan fumble, Benson fumble, Peterson fumble)


• Cedric Benson had only 42 rushing yards.

Why the Bears lost:

Turnovers is why the Bears lost. The Chargers got all their points of turnovers. If the Bears were to protect the football better then they could of won. The punt that bounced off Brandon McGowan is what really lost the momentum and the game for the Bears.
