Bears at Chargers: Full highlights and final score
The Chicago Bears were able to come back in the fourth quarter and beat the San Diego Chargers on Monday Night Football at Qualcomm Stadium. Chicago was down 16-7 but came back behind a furious Jay Cutler rally, aided by the fine play of running back Jeremy Langford throughout the night.
San Diego simply could not execute in the clutch. On its final scoring drive, the Chargers should have had a touchdown but was undone by penalties on both receiver Steve Johnson and right tackle D.J. Fluker. The Chargers dropped to 2-7 while the Bears have improved to 3-6.

3. Jeremy Langford
Langford ran 18 times for 72 yards and scored a touchdown along with a two-point conversion. Langford was also a threat out of the backfield in the passing game, catching three passes for 70 yards.
