3. The Return of Khalil Mack
Not that Khalil Mack has been absent on the field, but he was absent in the box score in last week’s loss to the Rams. Not only did Mack dominate the box score, he was all over the field in Sunday’s win.
There was no better feeling than watching Mack get to Giants quarterback Daniel Jones and force a strip-sack just when the Bears needed some momentum. Three plays later, Chicago’s offense capitalized with a two-yard touchdown run from Trubisky to take a 19-7 lead at the time.
While the Giants certainly tried to contain him, Mack surged through double and triple teams and made his impact known. Whether it was the strip-sack or running through three lineman to force Jones out of the pocket and into an incompletion, it was good to have Mack back in the conversation — and the box score.
