On the other side, the picture is unclear, too. Giants GM Dave Gettleman could be out after four losing seasons, whether it's his choice or not. The Bears got a reprieve last week, rallying for a victory at Seattle after losing eight of nine. Damiere Byrd then made an acrobatic reception for the 2-point conversion, getting his knee down in the end zone with multiple defenders trying to push him over the back line, to put Chicago on top.
The Giants come in with four straight losses overall and six straight on the road. New York was held to a season-low yards at Philadelphia last week. Every game is important. Coach Matt Nagy said Friday that Andy Dalton will start after being sidelined because of a groin injury and Nick Foles will be the backup. Fields is listed as questionable after practicing on a limited basis this week. Dalton, in his first season in Chicago, is poised to make his fifth start.
The three-time Pro Bowler has thrown for 1, yards, six touchdowns and six interceptions in six games. For the first time since Daniel Jones was lost for the season with a neck injury, Judge said he probably will play both backups this week against the Bears. Mike Glennon started the first three games after Jones was hurt against the Eagles on Nov.
He was 6 of 17 for 25 yards with an interception before being benched in the third quarter. In Glennon's three starts, the Giants averaged 26 points. Fromm put up three points in two-plus quarters.
Glennon, who has thrown four TDs and eight interceptions this season, said alternating quarterbacks has drawbacks. He also needs a half-sack to reach in his career and two to match his personal best of 19 in with St. The fact Quinn is doing this at age 31 and after managing just two sacks last season — his first in Chicago — makes it all the more remarkable. Defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence has been a fixture in the middle of the line. Fellow defensive tackle Danny Shelton also is on the list and his status is uncertain.
Another option would be moving Leonard Williams inside and giving Quincy Roche and Raymond Johnson more time on the edges of the front. Rookie linebacker Ellerson Smith also has can play up front. The fifth-round draft pick has 62 receptions for yards. He has also supplanted Allen Robinson as Chicago's most productive receiver. Who is the best matchup?
Who is the worst? The regular season is over and now we move into the postseason phase of 49ers overreactions. Is this a good thing for Tua Tagovailoa? Bill Belichick made quite the fashion statement at his press conference Wednesday, and former Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman couldn't resist chiming in.
