The Chicago Bears were defeated by the New York Giants, 20-12, on Sunday to drop to 2-2 on the season.
It was an ugly loss considering the Bears had a chance to win this game. They faced a team that was nearly identical to theirs, but they committed too many self-inflicted mistakes. Chicago struggled to convert in the red zone (0-for-3), contain Saquon Barkley and had no answer for New York’s play-action bootlegs.
