As important a game as this is, it will be a tough one for the Giants to win. Not only does the injury situation work against them, but so does history. The last time they beat Chicago in Giants Stadium was during the 1990 playoffs, a 31-3 divisional playoff victory en route to the Super Bowl title. They've never beaten Chicago in three regular-season meetings at Giants Stadium.
What sits in the Giants' favor is that they've played the tougher schedule. Chicago's victory over Seattle was their only win over a team with a winning record. The cumulative record of the vanquished is 21-35. The Giants have wins over Philadelphia, Washington, Dallas, Atlanta, Tampa Bay and Houston, who have a cumulative record of 21-28.
With a defense expecting to play without five starters, beating the Bears could be a tall order, despite the on-going debate over whether Chicago's schedule diminishes its success.
SERIES HISTORY: 46th meeting. The Giants trail the regular season series 26-17-2 and trail the postseason series 5-3. One has to go all the way back to 1991 for the Giants' most recent victory in Giants Stadium, a 31-3 win in the NFC divisional playoff game en route to the Super Bowl title. The Giants have never beaten the Bears in Giants Stadium during the regular season, losing in 1977, 1995, and 2004. In fact, one must go back to 1969 in Yankee Stadium for the last home win, 28-24 on Oct. 6.
will a win finally come for DA giants at home vs bears ?
