The San Diego Chargers fall to the Chicago Bears, 20-31. The Chargers drop to 4-6 on the year and the Bears improve to 7-3.

One thing that we found out from the Bears game was that the Chargers can get it done with the makeshift offensive line.  It might not be as pretty as the original starters...but the Chargers have enough weapons on offense to make the current line work.  That being said, the Chargers need to give some help to Dombrowski during passing downs.  He was beat 7 more times in the Bears game.

Despite the current losing streak, the Chargers are only 2 games out of first place in the AFC West.  They have scored about the same amount of points as the Raiders and given up only 5 points more, all year.

Jeromey Clary ends the day with a 85% assignment grade in run blocking and a +2 dominance score.  He gets beat a couple of times in pass protection, but does a decent job other than those times.  His pass blocking assignment score ends up being a 90% with a -2 dominance score.

	Grade												Blocking	Allowed	Allowed	Help
Dombrowski	70%												-7	6	0	5

Schilling	93%												-1	2	0	9
Clary	91%												-2	2	0	4
Moll	98%												0	0	0	4

Pass Blocking Notes:

• At 3:37 in the 2nd quarter, it first looks like the line doesn't block anyone and Rivers has to throw the ball away.  However, San Diego was running a screen play and the Bears had sniffed the play out.  Instead of throwing the ball into danger, Rivers puts it in the dirt.
• At :33 in the 3rd quarter, Tony Moll and Jeromey Clary pass of defenders well as the Bears attempt a loop stunt.
• The interior of the line does a decent job pass blocking this week.  That is good for Rivers and the Chargers.  If the makeshift offensive line can keep it up...then San Diego has a chance.
• As always, the tight ends and backs film grades, are here.
