The tone was set early in the Bears frustrating New Jersey field trip. Alec Ogletree’s swat-pick on a CD4 pass intended for Tarik Cohen in the flat was an impressive show of instincts and athleticism, but all I could think about is how this was going to be a surprisingly rough outing for the Bears. The game lived up to those early expectations. The Bears defense spent the majority of the time on the field suffocating the Giants flawed offensive unit, but their misses had big consequences.
The Bears have been more consistent than most teams this season, but everyone’s going to have a down game at some point.
