Chicago Bears: 3 catastrophic mistakes to avoid vs. Giants
By Ryan Fedrau
Looking Past The Giants
In 2018, I firmly believe this Bears’ offense would have flourished if Trubisky wasn’t injured. The two teams battled in an overtime finish, where the Giants came out on top. The Bears’ offense with Chase Daniel looked past the Giants after their big Thanksgiving win the week prior. They cannot make that same mistake this year.

The good news for the Bears, they don’t have any major offense injuries that will keep players out of the game. Their biggest injury is David Montgomery‘s groin injury, but he played Week 1 and is expected to play against the Giants.
Not only does the offense have to come out fast, but the defense also cannot give up 23-points again. Even though the Bears failed to move the ball in the first half, they didn’t turn the ball over once. The Lions bent the Bears’ defense, but they didn’t break.
They have to keep them under 20-points to secure a victory, even if the offense comes out and blows the Giants away. There’s no guarantee the offense won’t turn the ball over or start fast, so the defense has to not look past the Giants while starting and finishing strong.
It’ll be interesting to see, but there’s no way this team takes this game lightly. Starting 2-0 improves their playoff odds, as 55.1% of teams that do so make the playoffs.
