The Chicago Bears defense has had their way with the New York Giants during Sunday’s Week 17 game at Soldier Field — from the very first play.
Second-year edge rusher Trevis Gipson recorded a strip sack on former Bears quarterback Mike Glennon to set the tone early for this game.
For awhile, the Giants abandoned the run entirely as a result of Chicago’s dominant pass rush. But when you’re trailing 26 points in the second half, eventually you’re going to need to start throwing the ball.
But, to quote Jay Feely from the CBS broadcast, “Every time the Giants drop back, something bad always happens.”
Case in point: Gipson’s second strip sack of Glennon near the end of the third quarter.

Gipson has now passed outside linebacker Khalil Mack for second in sacks on the team with 6.5. He trails only Robert Quinn, who boasts 17 sacks, second most in the NFL.
The Bears lead the Giants 29-3 in the fourth quarter.
