Chicago Bears and New York Giants Preview

The Chicago Bears take on the New York Giants tonight in New York. The Bears won’t be home again until December 3 when they take on the Minnesota Vikings. Chicago Bears Tickets to that one are running anywhere from $100 to $2,000.

In the meantime, all eyes are deadest on tonight’s game of the week between the Bears and the Giants. Questions have swirled around the Bears all week since last week’s humiliating defeat at the hands of the Miami Dolphins. Rex Grossman led the Bears to 7 straight slaughters before things seemed to come completely undone against the one-win Dolphins. Tonight’s game is pivotal for the Bears. Not in terms of keeping their post-season hopes alive. But rather in defining themselves in the post-Ditka era says the New York Times.

Rex Grossman has led the Bears to a 7-1 record

The postseason implications of this one are also huge. Both teams are contenders for the playoffs and will likely see each other again in a much later climate. Chicago has averaged 330.5 yards per game this season while the Giants have averaged 359.1 yards per game. But when it comes to points per game, yards allowed, and points allowed, the Bears have a clear edge. The Bears will be in New York again next week to take on the Jets, who defeated the Patriots today.
