Announcers set for Bears vs. Chargers Week 8 game

The Chicago Bears (2-5) will face the Los Angeles Chargers (2-4) on Sunday Night Football in Week 8, where Chicago is looking to stack back-to-back wins.

The Bears’ Week 8 game will air on NBC at 7:20 p.m. CT. The television commentators for the game are Mike Tirico (play-by-play), Cris Collinsworth (analyst), Melissa Stark (sideline reporter).

Chicago is coming off an impresisve 30-12 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders (3-4), where the Bears dominated on offense and defense — with a rookie quarterback making his first NFL start. Running back D’Onta Foreman accounted for 120 yards and three touchdowns while cornerback Jaylon Johnson recorded two interceptions, including a pick-6.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles is coming off a disappointing 31-17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs (6-1), which marked the team’s second consecutive loss. The Chargers are staring down a 2-4 record in a season where playoffs were the expectation.

With quarterback Justin Fields doubtful for the second straight game, it’ll be rookie Tyson Bagent making his second NFL start for the Bears. Chicago will look for its first winning streak of the Matt Eberflus era.
