Game of the Day
Chicago at N.Y. Giants, 5:15 p.m., Ch. 5
The Bears have committed 12 turnovers in their past three games, six in the game they managed to win in Arizona and six in their loss to Miami last week. Now, they face the Giants, who have the conference's longest winning streak at five games.
Remember when the Giants lost here in Seattle in Week 3 and headed into their bye with a record of 1-2, having allowed 92 points in the first three games? Well, they've given up 52 in the five games they've played since then, winning them all.
