Fans of the Chicago Bears who braved the cold and somewhat snowy conditions to attend the game on Sunday at Soldier Field were rewarded with a convincing victory in the team’s final home game of the season. The Bears dismantled the New York Giants, winning 29-3 thanks to a dominant defensive performance against Mike Glennon.
It took the Bears just two plays to take the lead, one on defense and one on offense. After stripping Glennon of the ball on the first play from scrimmage, creating a turnover, the Bears punched it in on the next play and never looked back. It was a game where you could put your feet up on the couch and enjoy a beatdown that featured a historic moment as well.
Though it doesn’t mean a thing this season and won’t change any of the outcomes this offseason, it was nice to see the Bears kickoff the new year with a victory. Here are my takeaways from Sunday’s win.
