The Chicago Bears (0-4) got on the plane home with another loss under their belt, as the New York Giants balled out in the rain.
Justin Fields had three TDs, one through the air and another two on the ground. Although, he only posted 129 yards passing and threw two INTs, while completing 12 of 17 attempts.
The Bears rushing attack was on point. David Montgomery gained 140 yards on 15 attempts, with 108 of those yards coming after contact. David's longest run came from the 6 yard line when Fields audibled to a run to the left and David busted through tackles near the left sideline and took it to the house for 94 yards. Montgomery had another TD called for him, but it was quickly taken by referees as the review found he didn't actually cross into the endzone. Khalil Herbert added to the attack with 44 yards on just 5 attempts.
With so few receiving yards to go around, it was WR Velus Jones Jr. who led the team with three receptions and 64 yards.
Velus also had his best kick return day of the year, posting 244 yards on 7 attempts, with his long coming on a 93 yard return that ended in the endzone.
Chicago was able to post their highest point total of the year at 34, but their defense couldn't stop QB Daniel Jones from posting a career day in the New York rain. Jones threw for 403 yards, 5 TDs, and 0 INTs, posting a perfect passer rating of 158.3. It didn't help that Daniel Jones also punched in two TDs with his legs, givng the QB a total of 7 TDs on the day. Chicago's defense was clearly embarresed by letting the Giants score 51 points. If he can keep scoring at this rate, Daniel Jones is a lock for MVP this season.
The Chicago Bears were reeling from this last loss. Coach Halas addressed the team on the plane ride home, pointing to the positives they were able to accomplish on offense and that they were a top 10 defense before this game. Bears fans are hoping that the head coach can ressurect their season from what is quickly turning to ashes.
Next up, the Bears will travel to the Vikings home field to try and right the ship with a divional win.
