Head coach Brian Daboll\u2019s lack of faith in benched veteran Russell Wilson (and Wilson\u2019s own hesitancy) was apparent.<\/p>\n<p>Jaxson Dart (6) was sacked by the Bears in Week 10.

Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>The question now is whether Daboll and\/or defensive coordinator Shane Bowen can survive another collapse punctuated by allowing two touchdowns in the final four minutes of a 24-20 loss to the Bears at blustery Soldier Field.<\/p>\n<p>Caleb Williams ran for the go-ahead 17-yard touchdown with 1:47 to go after he used his legs on a long run down to the 2-yard line on the previous drive. Williams tossed a two-yard touchdown to Rome Odunze to start the comeback.<\/p>\n<p>Bears quarterback Caleb Williams looks to pass. AP<\/p>\n<p>Daboll\u2019s most regrettable mistake was kicking a field goal from the 1-yard line with 10:19 remaining. Sure, it put the Giants ahead by two scores, 20-10, but that\u2019s nothing in today\u2019s NFL \u2014 especially with a defense with no idea how to close out games.<\/p>\n<p>The defense even made a fourth-down stop \u2014 its third of the game \u2014 with a 10-point lead, but that wasn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n<p>The Bears celebrated a touchdown in their win against the Giants. AP<\/p>\n<p>The Bears drove 91 yards in 2:17 for a touchdown to make things tense and the Giants went into an offensive shell. A three-and-out ended with Wilson taking an 11-yard sack, and Wilson\u2019s mistake was compounded by Jamie Gillan shanking a 26-yard punt.<\/p>\n<p>It was only 21 days prior that the Giants allowed 33 fourth-quarter points and blew a 19-point lead in a season-changing loss to the Broncos. Both Giants meltdowns are part of the franchise record-tying 10-game road losing streak.<\/p>\n<p>Playing with third-string running backs and receivers and through sideways snow flurries, Dart was nearly perfect for three quarters as he racked up 308 yards from scrimmage and ran for two touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>But Wilson reminded everyone why he was benched after Week 3 as he threw four straight incompletions to end the game and seal the fate of the Giants (2-8). Wilson finished with 45 passing yards, but 41 were made on a catch-and-run by Devin Singletary, who made the biggest play of the drive that led to the Giants kicking an 18-yard field goal to take the 20-10 lead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CHICAGO \u2014 The Giants relived their worst nightmare.
