*The Giants completed nine passes, their lowest total since they had four completions at Chicago on Jan. 2, 2022, and their fewest in a victory since they had nine at the Jets on Dec. 24, 2011. Of course, one of the completions was a short pass that Victor Cruz turned into a 99-yard touchdown.
*The Giants had no offensive turnovers. Their only turnover was on Richie James’ lost fumble on a punt return.
*Quarterbacks Jones and Tyrod Taylor were sacked just once, the lowest total allowed by the Giants since Dec. 19, 2021, vs. Dallas (one).
*The Giants’ defense recorded six sacks of Chicago quarterback Justin Fields, their highest total since they had six against the Panthers on Oct. 24, 2021.
*The Bears rushed for 146 yards, the third consecutive opponent with at least that many yards on the ground. Carolina ran for 146 yards and Dallas had 176 yards on Monday night.
