21. Los Angeles Chargers (26)

Lucky or not, all the Los Angeles Chargers should care about is how their three-game losing streak is officially over after escaping with a 17-16 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday thanks to a missed field goal by Eddy Pinerio as time expired.

Playing at Solider Field, in general, is never easy for any opponent, and with both teams desperate for a win in this one, the Chargers deserve plenty of credit for hanging on to earn the tough win.

Previously, Los Angeles was a team that lost five of their last six games, and even though they still have a lot of work on their plate in order to catch up in the AFC West, maybe Sunday’s win will be a start for the Chargers.

No matter what it takes, Los Angeles needs to figure out a way to get more from Melvin Gordon on offense after the running back rushed for just 31 yards with a touchdown on eight carries against Chicago.

Even if the argument can be made these numbers aren’t too bad facing a tough defense in the Bears, if the Chargers are going to have any chance of building off this game, the offense will need more from the running back.
