The Chicago Bears’ victory over the New York Giants followed a familiar script for the 2019 season.
The offense was allergic to first downs in the first half as they fell behind an inferior opponent.
Something changed at halftime and Mitchell Trubisky looked like a new quarterback in the third quarter, giving the Bears a lead and giving the fans new hope.
Then in the fourth quarter, the defense forgets how to play football, Trubisky turns back into a pumpkin, and the Giants keep it close with one final drive to win it.
This time, Chicago’s defense held strong and they went to celebrate Club Dub for beating a two-win opponent.
Still, the signs of life the Bears showed on both sides of the ball brought some excitement back to a season that was lacking it.
Here are the studs and duds from win number five.
