The Chicago Bears are taking on the Los Angelas Rams during a time where they are more beatable than ever before

The Chicago Bears needed Jeff Driskel to start and still had to sweat it out until the last play of the game against the Detroit Lions. It is tough to say that this is a team that is back in the playoff hunt after snapping a four-game losing streak.

Still, the game was must-win and they won, and that extends the rooting interest for fans a week further. When looking ahead, a trip to LA to take on the defending NFC champion Rams look daunting. However, for all of the issues that the Bears have had, things are not quite peaceful in paradise out in LA.

The team has four losses and does not have a signature win. They lost a game where their offense scored three points against the Steelers. While many will think that the Rams will come back home and get healthy, there is plenty of concern that this could be the start of a losing streak from them similar to what the Bears just encountered. Here are five reasons why the Bears, despite their issues, may be able to have success against the Rams.

Last season, the Rams lost two starting offensive linemen, one to retirement and one to free agency. The Rams added talent like Jalen Ramsey and Clay Matthews, but they do not have an offensive line that can keep Jared Goff up at the moment.

At center, Brian Allen stepped in until an injury against Pittsburgh. Now, they are shuffling at three positions because they moved their guard Austin Blythe to center. This brings Austin Corbett off of the bench. Corbett is a player the Browns traded for next to nothing just a few weeks ago. Blythe started last year but is in a new spot. At tackle, Rob Havenstein is out meaning David Edwards will move from guard to tackle.

So, they will have a their guard playing center. Their other guard will be at right tackle. They will have two new guards, and their left tackle, Andrew Whitworth is starting to show his age after a masterful career. Last week, Bud Dupree took his lunch money.

The Rams offensive line is not getting better and could be worse than the Bears. This could spark a losing streak.
