Bears vs. Chargers Week 1
The Chicago Bears are coming to San Diego to face the Chargers in the first game of the season. The Bears are brining back a stout defense and Philip Rivers will be tested.
In 2006, the Chicago Bears forced an NFL-best 44 turnovers en route to a 13-3 regular season. Cornerbacks Ricky Manning, Jr. and Charles Tillman had five interceptions each and 17 different defenders forced at least one fumble.
“That’s an amazing number,” Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said. “That’s going to be a big part of the game. It always is, and with both defenses, the way they get after people, the team who can take care of the ball and win the field position battle, that’s probably what it’s going to boil down to.”
Playing at home should help, but don’t be surprised if Rivers throws an interception or two. I’m predicting him to have a 200 yard performance with something like 2 touchdowns and 1 or 2 interceptions.
