CHICAGO _ Even a victory against the lowly Giants counts, and so the Bears will celebrate escaping Soldier Field with a 19-14 win Sunday afternoon.
The effort against a 2-9 Giants team may not mean much in measuring improvement this season, but the Bears at least can count some positives.
The Bears offense surpassed 300 yards for just the second time this season. Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky completed 25 of 41 passes for 278 yards. He had a touchdown pass and a touchdown run but also threw two interceptions.
And it was a good day for the Bears' biggest players from each unit.
Bears outside linebacker Khalil Mack had a strip-sack of Giants quarterback Daniel Jones that led to the Bears' second touchdown.
Wide receiver Allen Robinson had six catches for 131 yards and a touchdown.
And Bears kicker Eddy Pineiro bounced back from his two-miss night against the Rams last week to make two field goals.
However, it still took a late effort by the Bears defense to stall a potential winning Giants touchdown drive.
After gaining second-and-4 at the Giants' 35 in the final two minutes, Jones threw three straight incompletions to give the Bears the ball. On fourth-and-4, outside linebacker Leonard Floyd got in Jones' face, and cornerback Prince Amukamara broke up the desperate pass.
