After that terrible Giants performance against the Vikings, yesterday's Bears opponents were just what the doctor ordered. Despite a terrible showing by Eli Manning through three quarters and much of the fourth, the Bears, after taking a 16-7 lead, couldn't manage anything thereafter.
While the Giants defense has to be credited with at least part of the reason for the Bears' hopelessness, the Bears quarterback, Rex Grossman, was off-target at least 3 imes to his best wide-out, Bernard Berrian. On one sure TD pass, Devin Hester just dropped the ball.
So the Giants win again, but let's not anoint Eli as the savior just yet. His running game, yesterday in the hands of Derek Ward and the offensive line, opened things up for some late-game heroics. And the Giants defense discovered that, yes, they COULD stop the run, at least Chicago's run.
