What TV channel is Bears-Chargers on tonight? Live stream, how to watch online, time
Tyson Bagent and the Chicago Bears travel to Southern California to face the reeling Los Angeles Chargers Sunday, Oct. 29. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial) and Peacock (free trial).
Chicago (2-5) has won two of three since a 14-game losing streak while Los Angeles (2-4) has dropped two straight.
Bagent generated plenty of headlines in leading the Chicago Bears to a victory in his first NFL start.
The undrafted rookie gets a chance on a prime-time stage to show he is more than a one-game wonder.
Bagent — who went 21 of 29 for 162 yards a touchdown in last week’s 30-12 win over the Raiders — gets the start again with Justin Fields sidelined due to a dislocated thumb. He will face a Chargers defense ranked last against the pass at 310 yards per game.
Bagent might still be an unknown to most fans after being undrafted out of Division II Shepherd University in West Virginia, but Chargers coach Brandon Staley did his share of homework on him leading up to last April’s draft.
Chicago has not won two straight since the 2021 regular-season finale, while Los Angeles is looking to avoid its first three-game skid since 2020.
Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is looking to rebound after struggling in his last two starts, during which he has completed only 58.3% of his passes with three touchdowns and three interceptions.
Herbert, who is still dealing with a broken middle finger on his left, non-throwing hand, will face a Bears defense that is allowing the league’s fourth-most passing yards at 257.1 per game.
When is Bears-Chargers?
The Bears and Chargers start at 7:20 p.m. (8:20 p.m. ET) on Sunday, Oct. 29.
