The Chargers defense was able to stifle Chicago's passing offense, as Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent finished with just 232 yards and two interceptions. Los Angeles allowed only 13 points, the team's best mark all season.
After entering the night at 2-4, a home loss could have dealt a major blow to the Chargers' playoff hopes. Instead, head coach Brandon Staley's group is back in the postseason hunt.
Los Angeles will attempt to start a prime-time winning streak next week, when the team travels to MetLife Stadium for a matchup with the New York Jets on Monday Night Football.
