New York Giants vs. Chicago Bears: How to Watch, Odds, History and More
The Giants are looking to bounce back this week after a 23-16 loss to the divisional rival Dallas Cowboys on Monday night. Despite the loss, the Giants are still 2-1 and could very well be 3-1 if they can top the visiting Bears, who are in town this week.
The Bears are also surprisingly 2-1, beating the Texans 23-20 last week. While the Bears are off to a good start, their passing offense has been on a historically bad pace, having completed just 23 passes through three weeks, and averaging only 78.3 yards per game in the air, last in the NFL.
Despite their lackluster air attack, the Bears are one of the best rushing teams in the league. Averaging 186.7 rushing yards per game, which is second in the NFL, the Bears are looking to continue their ground attack on a Giants defense that is missing one of their key defensive linemen in Leonard Williams.
While they’re not as bad as the Bears, the Giants passing offense could be doing better. With wide receivers Kadarius Toney and Wan’Dale Robinson out for this game, the challenge becomes even tougher. However, running back Saquon Barkley, the league leader in scrimmage yards with 408, looks like himself and has done it all so far for a Giants offense still searching for its identity.
The Giants will also be debuting their ‘Legacy’ uniforms, in a nod to the teams of the 1980s and 1990s. The team will also be debuting Super Bowl XXI throwback endzones, wall wraps, and other events around the stadium.
This is the first of two Legacy games being played at MetLife Stadium this season, the next being Week 13 when the Giants host the Washington Commanders.
