Gardner-Johnson had two sacks Sunday against the New York Giants, but it was his third-quarter forced fumble by quarterback Jaxson Dart, recovered by cornerback Nahshon Wright, that proved to be a game-changer during the Bears’ 24-20 comeback victory at Soldier Field.

Kickoff from Soldier Field in Chicago is set for 1 p.m. ET. The Bears are 4.5-point favorites in the latest Giants vs. Bears consensus odds at SportsLine, and the over/under for total points scored is 45.5, down 1.5 from the opening line. Chicago is a -223 money line favorite (risk $223 to win $100), while New York is a +183 underdog.

Nashon Wright, Tyrique Stevenson, and Jaylon Jones are the lone healthy Bears cornerbacks. C.J. Gardner-Johnson has signed on as the team's nickel cornerback, but the overall cornerback room is very much in question.

As expected, the hit that injured Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine during his team’s loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 9 has resulted in punishment from the NFL. According to the NFL’s weekly gameday accountability tally, the NFL fined Bears defender D'Marco Jackson for a hip-drop tackle on Perine.

After bolstering their pass rush at the 2025 NFL trade deadline, the Bears must turn to the free agency market for cornerback help.

Halfway through the 2025 season, one Chicago Bears rookie has captured the attention of fans with his impressive play and steady rise in production.
