under its thumb for most of the first half Mitchell Trubisky Color Rush Jersey , but Saquon Barkley broke loose just before halftime and the Giants were able to cut Chicago’s lead as the clock ran out.Barkley wiggled free for a 22-yard run after back-to-back sacks led the Bears to call timeout for a last chance with the ball. The Giants still needed a yard for a first down, went for it and got a nine-yard completion on the next play to give Aldrick Rosas a shot at a 57-yard field goal. Rosas knocked it through and the Bears led was down to 14-10 as the teams headed into the locker room.That completion by Manning put a happy ending on a miserable half. He was intercepted by Kyle Fuller, pressured often and throwing wildly on his way to a 7-of-17 line. Barkley had six carries for 21 yards before his big play at the end of the half and they have just 103 yards to show for their efforts.Chicago hasn’t been able to turn that into a bigger lead because of two Chase Daniel interceptions. Both were by linebacker Alec Ogletree, who returned the first for a touchdown and the second ended a drive that had moved into Giants territory.Daniel is 6-of-11 for 61 yards, but the Bears have largely leaned on their run game. After running just 15 times last week, the Bears already have 26 attempts on Sunday and Jordan Howard has 68 yards on 13 carries.With a lead Pat O'Donnell Jersey , it seems likely the Bears will follow the same script so the Giants will have to step it up on their end to get Daniel to put more balls up for grabs in the second half.NFL Power Rankings: The Bears lose a close one and fall in the rankings These power rankings compilations are much more fun to do when the Chicago Bears are winning, but with them losing to another first place team, the Miami Dolphins, in tough conditions, maybe the expected drop down won’t be as great. The Bears are still holding onto a slim lead in the NFC North, but the two teams chasing them both won https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Kyle-Long-Jersey , so...SB Nation said the Bears “lost embarrassingly,”because “Brock Osweiler was starting at quarterback for Miami,” while dropping then down to 12 from last week’s 8. ESPN gave their Power Ranking while checking out the playoff chances of each team. They dropped the Bears 5 spots to 12th. Here’s how the USA Today has it this week. The Sporting News has the Bears dropping too.The Washington Post has it like this.CBS Sports moved the Bears down to 12.Technically, they are still in first place so they are in the driver’s seat in the NFC North, but I get the gist of what they’re saying.NFL.com dropped the Bears three spots to 11.Neither did most of us.What are your thoughts on the rankings this week?
