If you look at the final 20-12 score of the Bears’ game with the Giants (+3), you’d think it was a closely-contested and heated affair between two surprising NFC teams. Look through their general offensive box score — 155 yards passing, six sacks, zero touchdowns on three red zone trips, three fumbles lost — and you see that Justin Fields and Co. actually “enjoyed” a bleak afternoon on the road.
That’s what made the Bears’ final desperate schoolyard toss around the field to try and win the game all too fitting. Like their overall effort on the day, the hook-and-ladder attempt showed hints of promise when it shuffled through the hands of Fields and offensive linemen like Teven Jenkins.
