TV: 1 p.m. ET, FOX. LINE: Bears -4. O/U: 41

ABOUT THE CHARGERS (2-5): Wide receiver Keenan Allen (44 catches, 564 yards, three touchdowns) is dealing with a hamstring injury, so it won't be a surprise to see do-it-all running back Austin Ekeler splitting out wide more often. Ekeler leads the team with 248 rushing yards and 49 receptions, and the offense was more efficient when he was the primary back before Melvin Gordon returned from his holdout to gain just 81 yards on 36 carries (2.3 average) during the team's three-game skid. Melvin Ingram (hamstring) is expected to return after missing the last three games while fellow defensive end Joey Bosa is enjoying a strong campaign with five sacks.

ABOUT THE BEARS (3-3): Trubisky has thrown only two interceptions while compiling 839 yards and five touchdowns as he is coming off a season-best 251-yard performance in last week's loss to New Orleans. The Bears also have a sagging running attack that ranks 28th (70 yards per game), with lead back David Montgomery (231 yards) averaging a meager 3.3 yards per carry. The defense allowed an average of 160 yards on the ground in the back-to-back losses, but Khalil Mack (4.5 sacks) is enjoying a solid campaign.
