The Bears have lost three of the last four meetings, but the only one in the past five years was a 22-16 Giants win in 2016. Chicago has lost its last two road games against the Giants, averaging 9.5 points.

The Bears defeated the Lions, 23-16, on Thanksgiving to win their fifth straight game overall. Chicago's only longer winning streak in the past decade was a run of six consecutive wins from Weeks 3-9 in 2012.

After winning two straight games for the first time since 2016, the Giants lost, 25-22, at Philadelphia in Week 12. New York has played in nine games this season decided by one possession, tied with the Eagles for most in the league. The Giants are 3-6 in those games.

Chicago has parlayed an NFL-best 29 takeaways into 104 points off turnovers, which also leads the league. The Bears haven't had 30+ takeaways in a full season since 2012 (44).

Among running backs this season, Tarik Cohen ranks fifth with 503 receiving yards and his five receptions of at least 25 yards are the most. Cohen has accounted for 18.6 percent of the Bears' receiving yards this season -- the only running back with a higher percentage is Carolina's Christian McCaffrey (22.4 percent).

Last week, Saquon Barkley became the fourth rookie ever with both a rushing and receiving touchdown in consecutive games, joining Kink Richards (1933 Giants), Rodney Culver (1992 Colts) and Nick Chubb (2018 Browns).
