Key matchup
Last season at Soldier Field, outside linebacker Khalil Mack beat Giants tackle Nate Solder for a strip-sack of quarterback Daniel Jones inside the Bears’ 10-yard line that led to the key touchdown in a 19-14 victory. Mack had four tackles and drew a hold against the Lions last week, but he didn’t make a huge impact in the season opener.
The Giants have replaced Solder with rookie Andrew Thomas, the fourth pick of the 2020 draft out of Georgia. The 6-5, 315-pound Thomas allowed four pressures but acquitted himself reasonably well for his first NFL game last week against the Steelers.
