An inside look at Sunday’s Giants-Bears NFL Week 10 matchup in Chicago: Marquee matchup
Bears DE Montez Sweat vs. Giants RT Jermaine Eluemunor
Sweat spent the first four-plus years with the Commanders, going against the Giants twice a season.
He is not a prolific pass rusher (51 sacks in 100 games), but he does lead the Bears this season with four sacks, including a strip-sack of Spencer Rattler.
Eluemunor missed last week’s game with a sore pectoral muscle, was limited in practice this week and is listed as questionable.
He has allowed two sacks in 333 pass block snaps, according to Pro Football Focus.
If he cannot go, rookie Marcus Mbow gets another start.Four downs
Go play outside: They aren’t stupid out there. Teams realize there is no reason to pound away inside against the Giants when they can find greater success running it to the perimeters.
“Teams are starting to run toss, toss slash, toss crack, all those perimeter runs in the ‘C’ gap to the alley,” linebacker Bobby Okereke told The Post. “It’s a great challenge in understanding how your defensive scheme can neutralize it and attack it.”
So far, not so good. The Giants are 31st in the league in run defense, allowing 150 yards per game.
