This was a tough game against the NFC Champions. It was a defensive battle for almost 3 full quarters with the Bears leading 3-0. The Charger's defence got off to a great start with a thunderous sack by Shaun Phillips. The rookie, Eric Weddle, had a great game with a sack, forced fumble, a fumble recovery on a punt and several blitzes on 3rd down which forced Grossman to throw incomplete.
LT was being stuffed running the ball all day by the Bears tough defense stacking the box, but this allowed LT to score one of his trademark TD passes to Antonio Gates at the end of the 3rd quarter to take the lead.
The Bears had 4 turnovers in the game and another fumble by a Bears running back allowed LT to score a rushing touchdown in the 4th quarter. LT only had 25 yards rushing on the day, but his 7 yard touchdown run was great, juking and bouncing off tackles to get into the end zone.
This broke the Bear's back as they weren't able to convert a 1st down on 4th and 1 and then couldn't stop Michael Turner from running down the clock to end the game.
