  • The Giants averaged 2.6 yards per play in Week 16. Third worst by a team this season and the fewest yards per play the Giants have had in a game since 1999.
  • The Bears are allowing a league-high 4.9 sacks plus turnovers per game. 
  • Just 44.0% of the Giants' scoring plays have been touchdowns, the lowest rate in the league.
  • The Giants have converted 45.9% (17-of-37) of their red zone possessions for touchdowns, 31st in the league.
  • The Bears have converted 48.8% (20-of-41) of their red zone possessions, 30th.

Quarterback

Giants QB: The Giants gave Jake Fromm a look last week and the results were even worse than what we have seen from the position on this team to date, which was already a low bar. Fromm completed 6-of-17 passes for 25 yards with an interception before being pulled for Mike Glennon. Glennon promptly continued what we have seen from him in relief this season, passing for 3.4 yards per pass attempt. Regardless of which quarterback the Giants go with there, they are going to be treated as a desperation 2QB play, even with the Bears allowing 15.7 passing points per game (26th).
