Bears vs. Giants, Week 12: How to watch, listen and stream

The Bears return home to face a Giants team that has lost six straight games. Here’s how you can watch or listen to the game.

The Chicago Bears (4-6) will host the New York Giants (2-8) Sunday at Soldier Field in a rematch of last year’s game. The only difference is that the Bears aren’t in the midst of a playoff race.

The Bears are coming off a disappointing 17-7 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, which essentially ended any playoff hopes. But they’ll be facing a Giants team that’t lost six straight games and boasts a rookie quarterback and a struggling defense, which the Bears hopefully can take advantage of.

Bears’ Adam Shaheen, Danny Trevathan out vs. Giants

The Bears will start QB Mitchell Trubisky vs. the New York Giants in Week 12, but will be without TE Adam Shaheen and LB Danny Trevathan.

When the New York Giants take on the Chicago Bears in Week 12, they will square off not against Chase Daniel, who they saw in 2018, but Mitchell Trubisky, who did not receive an injury designation on Friday and is expected to start.

“We’ve all put in a lot of time and energy and hard work to get where we’re at, [but] we’re not where we want to be,” said coach Matt Nagy, via the Sun-Times. “But I’ll say this: The last two weeks… he has without a doubt gotten a lot better at the quarterback position. Decision-making, throws — where he’s at the last two weeks has been a lot better.”

Although the Bears will have Trubisky under center, they will be without two key starters — one on offense and one on defense.

Tight end Adam Shaheen, who did not practice all week with a foot injury, was officially ruled out for Sunday’s game. He will be replaced by fellow tight ends Ben Braunecker and J.P. Holtz.

Additionally, the Bears will also be without starting inside linebacker Danny Trevathan, who was ruled out with an elbow injury. Like Shaheen, Trevathan was unable to practice this week. He will be spelled by Nick Kwiatkoski.

Finally, linebacker Isaiah Irving is listed as questionable with a quad injury.

The good news for Chicago is that offensive lineman Bobby Massie, who has been hobbled by a back injury, was given the green light and will start against New York.

Shepard, Jenkins, Solder clear concussion protocol, will play Sunday vs Bears

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard has cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol and will play this Sunday against the Chicago Bears.

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard has cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol and will play this Sunday against the Chicago Bears.

Cornerback Janoris Jenkins and Nate Solder were also cleared and are ready to go as the 2-8 Giants attempt to snap their six-game losing streak.

Shepard was recovering from his second concussion this season and had not played since the Giants’ Week 5 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Jenkins and Solder were both concussed ring the Giants’ Week 10 loss to the Jets and recovered over the bye week.

Shepard’s return gives rookie quarterback Daniel Jones his full complement of wide receivers this week, but as fate would have it, tight end Evan Engram (foot) will miss another game as will TE Rhett Ellison (concussion).

In his four starts this season, Shepard was targeted 34 times, catching 25 of them for 267 yards and a touchdown. He also rushed four times for 42 yards. It will only be the second game this season that Shepard and Golden Tate will be on the field simultaneously.

Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky will start vs. Giants

Just days after suffering a hip pointer against the Rams, Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky is good to go and will start against the Giants Sunday.

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky is good to go for Sunday’s matchup against the New York Giants.

Less than a week after suffering a hip pointer in a loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Trubisky put in a full week of practice, including Friday, with no limitations, and he’s good to start for Sunday’s game.

Bears coach Matt Nagy said earlier this week if Trubisky was cleared to play that he’d “absolutely” be the starter against the Giants.

Trubisky has struggled mightily this season, where he ranks last in the leagye in passing yards per game (175.6), last in yards per attempt (5.6) and tied for 26th in pass TDs (9), among 33 quarterbacks.

Since Week 8, the Bears are averaging 14.3 points per game, which is second to last in the NFL during that time.

Trubisky has put together back-to-back solid performances against the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams before suffering a hip injury. And going up against a Giants defense that has been terrible this season, Trubisky is hoping to make it a third.

As for the rest of the Bears’ injury report, right tackle Bobby Massie (back) is a full-go against the Giants. Linebacker Isaiah Irving (quad) practiced in full on Friday and is officially questionable for Sunday.

Meanwhile, tight end Adam Shaheen (foot) and linebacker Danny Trevathan (elbow) have been ruled out.

Giants vs. Bears: 3 keys to victory in Week 12

There are three things the New York Giants can do to ensure a victory over the Chicago Bears on Sunday and get their third win this season

The New York Giants head to Chicago on Sunday to face the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field, one of the most hostile environments in the NFL.

The Giants’ season has been dismal at best, and while the Bears aren’t faring that much better, it’s still unlikely that Big Blue will make a turnaround this week. That said, there are three things the Giants can do to help ensure a victory.

Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports

Stop Khalil Mack

Mack has just one sack over the last six games, and didn’t appear on the stat sheet at all in the Bears’ loss to the Los Angeles Rams last week. Pat Shurmur and Mike Shula had better be watching that film very closely to implement a similar strategy to stop Mack on Sunday.

Double- and triple-teams, extra protection, holding, whatever it takes. The Giants season is a wash, so the goal now is to protect its assets, primarily Daniel Jones. Whatever the offensive line has to do to protect the future of the organization, that’s what needs to happen against the Bears defense this week.

Bears determined to not let Giants RB Saquon Barkley beat them

The Bears defense isn’t about to let Giants RB Saquon Barkley return to form against them in Week 12.

The Chicago Bears are familiar with New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley. The dynamic weapon lit them up for 125 yards on the ground last season in the thick of Chicago’s  playoff race, but it was his back-breaking runs on third down that were the most frustrating in the 30-27 overtime loss.

As the Bears prepare for a rematch against the Giants on Sunday, Chicago’s defense is determined to prevent a repeat performance by Barkley.

Bears defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano praised Barkley’s speed, power, vision, patience, stiff-arm and stop-start acceleration — noting that containing him is going to be a tall order for this defense.

“If you don’t set an edge — no edge, no chance,” Pagano said, via the Chicago Tribune. “If he gets in the open field, he can take it the distance. He’s effective out of the backfield as a pass receiver as well, so he’s a three-down player.

“The only thing is pretty much the ankles on everyone are the same size, so you better get this guy wrapped up. We have to gang tackle, slide down and try and slide those ankles together. Usually if you do that, most guys will go down. Even this guy. He’s going to be a huge challenge for our defense.”

Barkley flashed during an impressive rookie season — where he averaged 4.7 yards per carry — but he hasn’t been as effective a runner this season, with 4.0 yards per carry, as he’s dealt with an ankle injury that sidelined him for three games.

Even without defensive tackle Akiem Hicks, the anchor of that run defense, the Bears’ defense is allowing just 3.6 yards per carry this season.

The goal for the Bears will be to contain Barkley and force rookie quarterback Daniel Jones to beat them.

Lorenzo Carter, Oshane Ximines are players to watch in Giants’ final six games

Linebackers Lorenzo Carter and Oshane Ximines are players to watch down the stretch for the New York Giants.

At the beginning of this season the New York Giants were hopeful that their pass rush would turn things around and become an effective, if not an elite unit.

Through ten games that has not materialized. They have 24 sacks this season, an average of 2.4 per game, which is up from 2018 (1.875 per game) but still not the result they were expecting.

Outside linebacker Marcus Golden, signed as a free agent this past March, leads the team with 6.5 sacks followed by defensive linemen Dexter Lawrence and Dalvin Tomlinson and outside linebacker Lorenzo Carter who all have 2.5.

Carter and this year’s third round pick, OLB Oshane Ximines, were being counted on take huge steps forward to lift the defense. Especially Carter.

“I think that everyone wants to be that competitor. They want to put themselves in that position and I know Lorenzo does,” said outside linebackers coach Mike Dawson.

“I know that he is a competitive guy, just being with him day in and day out. He wants to make those splash plays and I think you can look at a whole bunch of different factors. He’s been a guy that we have been able to move around. You see him on the ball, off the ball, he’s in coverage, he’s rushing, he’s doing different things that way. That’s a unique skill set that he has. I know there’s plays that he wants to be a step closer, accelerate a little more or do things like that. I think he is definitely holding himself to that high standard still and continues to work that. We have six more weeks to put the pedal to the metal with him. Hopefully those numbers start to come.”

Carter, who is second to Golden (15) on the team in QB hits with eight, has appeared to be just a little late on a lot of plays. Perhaps he can improve his reaction time and angles to the football.

As for Ximines, it’s more about getting the opportunities than anything else. He plays the same position as Carter and Golden. He has been in on 48% of the defensive snaps and has collected only two sacks. By contrast, Golden has been on the field 805 of the time and Carter has played 68% of the snaps.

“Oshane has been working his butt off and hopefully we keep getting him in the right direction,” said Dawson.

Giants’ Evan Engram, Rhett Ellison out vs. Bears

New York Giants tight ends Evan Engram and Rhett Ellison are out for Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears.

The New York Giants have clung to the hope that tight end Evan Engram (foot) would make his return against the Chicago Bears in Week 12, but those dreams were dashed on Friday.

Although Engram did not suffer a setback, he simply wasn’t able to get the required clearance and will be an injured inactive on Sunday alongside fellow tight end Rhett Ellison, who was also ruled out with a concussion.

In the absence of Engram and Ellison, the Giants will rely on Scott Simonson, Kaden Smith and possibly Garrett Dickerson, who currently resides on the practice squad.

“[Simonson] came back in really good shape, physical shape. Mentally, he’s done a nice job getting caught up to speed in terms of what we’re doing now. It really helps having a guy that has been here kind of knowing what we do and how we do things. It was good to have him come back,” tight ends coach Lunda Wells told reporters on Friday.

In some much-needed good news, wide receiver Sterling Shepard, left tackle Nate Solder and cornerback Janoris Jenkins did not receive an injury designation, which means all three are likely to clear concussion protocol on Friday night or at some point early on Saturday prior to traveling to Chicago.

All three will meet with the independent neurologist before being cleared.

4 bold predictions for Bears’ Week 12 matchup vs. Giants

Can the Bears contain Saquon? Will Mitchell Trubisky continue his positive string of performances? Our Bears’ bold predictions vs. Giants.

The Chicago Bears (4-6) are coming off a deflating 17-7 loss to the Los Angeles Rams (6-4), a loss that essentially ended any playoff hopes in a stacked NFC.

The Bears will be looking to get back on track against the struggling New York Giants (2-8), who have lost six straight games.

While this is definitely a game that the Bears should win, that hasn’t been the case this season. Chicago will need to reduce the missed opportunities and self-inflicted mistakes that doomed them against the Rams if they’re going to beat the Giants.

Here are four bold predictions for the Bears’ Week 12 matchup:

1. Bears defense holds Saquon Barkley under 70 yards rushing

Robert Deutsch-USA TODAY Sports

Despite losing defensive tackle Akiem Hicks to injured reserve, the Bears run defense has remained solid this season. But they’ll face a familiar challenge this week when they go up against New York Giants running back Saturn Barkley.

Last season, Barkley rushed for 125 yards on a Bears defense that included Hicks. But it won’t be a cakewalk for Chicago’s defense, who nearly gave up 100 yards on the ground to Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley last week.

After starting the season with back-to-back 100-yard performances, Barkley hasn’t been able to surpass 72 yards since returning from an ankle injury. And the trend will continue as the Bears will hold him to under 70 yards on Sunday.
