On a cold, windy day at Soldier Field, the Chicago Bears pulled off another miracle, ugly win in the fourth quarter in a season full of them, this time to defeat the New York Giants 24-20.
It was a rocky game, as both sides of the ball struggled for large stretches of the matchup. Offensively, Ben Johnson's unit couldn't quite seem to get on the same page as they didn't run the ball enough early on and seemed to get away from their script as the game wore on. Additionally, there were issues all day in the passing game as drops plagued the group all game long at key times. On defense, the Bears struggled to stop rookie Jaxson Dart as the rookie carved them up through the air and on the ground.
Fortunately, as has been the case for most of this year, the Bears saw their fortunes change in the fourth quarter. The defense caught a break with Dart leaving with a concussion, which sparked the unit to take advantage of Russell Wilson taking over as the signal caller to get some key stops. This opened the door for the offense to come alive late, coming up with two clutch fourth-quarter touchdown drives to overcome a 10-point deficit.
Similar to last week, there were plenty of positives and negatives to take away from this performance on both sides of the ball. While some players came up big in the clutch, there were others who played a major role in the Bears being down late in the first place.
With that in mind, here are the biggest winners and losers from the Bears' miraculous victory over the Giants.
