    • October 10th, 2013 – Week 6 @ CHI, L 21-27

    14 completions on 26 attempts for 239 yards, 1 touchdown, 3 interceptions (58.5 rating)

    October 3rd, 2010 – Week 4 vs. CHI, W 17-3

    18 completions on 30 attempts for 195 yards, 0 TDs, 0 INTs (79.2 rating)

    December 2nd, 2007 – Week 12 @ CHI, W 21-16

    16 completions on 27 attempts for 195 yards, 1 touchdown, 2 interceptions (63 rating) 

    November 12th, 2006 – Week 9 vs. CHI, L 20-38

    14 completions on 32 attempts for 121 yards, 0 touchdowns, 2 interceptions (43.75 rating) 

    The 2010 win was because the defense had 10 sacks. The 2007 win was another fantastic defensive effort as they got six sacks and held the Bears to field goals while the Giants scored touchdowns. Big Blue’s offense turned the ball over four times, but the D refused to break.

    When the offseason first started, Chicago didn’t seem like a team on the rise. However, after picking up some strong free agents and drafting well, the Bears might become a force in the NFC North.

    Not sure why, but this game will be a field position battle. Can the 2016 Giants pull off what the 2007 and 2010 Ds of yesteryear did? Seeing as those units featured the NASCAR package and Steve Spagnuolo wants to bring that look back, we could be in store for a repeat.
