To say the Chicago Bear’s secondary has been abysmal this season would be an understatement. Kyle Fuller intercepted Teddy Bridgewater’s pass last week for the units first interception of the season, which came up about eight weeks too late for majority of Bears fans.

Currently sitting at 2,753 passing yards, Rivers leads the NFL in passing yards and is on pace to throw for over 5,000 yards for the first time in his career.

With that being said, Kyle Fuller seemed to regain a portion of his lacking confidence last week as he turned in his best individual game performance of the 2015-2016 campaign. Now, Philip Rivers is an entirely different beast than Vikings signal caller, Teddy Bridgewater. Currently sitting at 2,753 passing yards, Rivers leads the NFL in passing yards and is on pace to throw for over 5,000 yards for the first time in his career. Things do not bode well for Chicago’s secondary unit. Looking on the brighter side of things, the Chargers will be without NFL receptions leader, Keenan Allen. Allen was recently assigned to season ending IR as he underwent successful surgery on his lacerated kidney. In addition to Allen being out, the tight end duo of Antonio Gates and Ladarius Green are anything but fully healthy. Gates had to battle through a knee injury during last weeks matchup, while Green was knocked out of the game with an ankle injury and was later seen leaving the facility in a walking boot. If either Gates or Green can play they will most definitely be doing so at less than 100%. The Chargers will rely heavily on their quarterback as he battles Chicago’s depleted secondary. The outcome? We shall see what happens come Monday night.
