SCOREBOARD
Monday, Nov. 9
Chicago at San Diego, 8:30 p.m. EST. Philip Rivers and the Chargers (2-6) try to stop a four-game slide when they take on Jay Cutler and the Bears (2-5), who have dropped two in a row. Rivers has thrown for 1,863 yards and 13 touchdowns over the last five games, but San Diego is among the worst rushing teams in the NFL with an average of 86.4 yards. Cutler threw for a touchdown and ran for a score in last Sunday's 23-20 loss to Minnesota, and he could shoulder even more offensive load with star running back Matt Forte sidelined by a knee injury.
