It’s the end of an error in New Jersey. The New York Football Giants have fired head coach Brian Daboll, after yet another inexcusable loss — this time to the Chicago Bears. 

What were the odds of losing games in which the Giants had leads against the Cowboys, Saints, Broncos, and Bears? It proved to be Daboll’s undoing Monday.

After the Giants loss to Denver — in which the team blew a lead in the closing minutes — reports swirled that team owner John Mara wanted to fire Daboll then. But reportedly cooler heads prevailed at that time, and the coach’s job was spared. Yet another loss of that same variety was too much and Daboll was sent packing.

The New York Giants looked ready to snap their three-game losing streak in snowy conditions at Soldier Field on Sunday, but a fourth-quarter rally from the Chicago Bears turned a promising afternoon into another heartbreak. The Bears scored two touchdowns in the final four minutes to defeat the Giants, 24–20.

The Giants led 17-7 late in the third quarter and 17-10 entering the fourth quarter but could not hang on.

Veteran Russell Wilson took over but couldn’t sustain the offense, and Chicago took advantage. Caleb Williams led back-to-back touchdown drives late in the fourth, including a 2-yard pass to Rome Odunze and a 17-yard scramble to the end zone that gave the Bears their first lead since the opening quarter.

The Giants’ final drive stalled near midfield, sealing their fourth straight loss and dropping them to 2–8 on the season. The Bears are 6-3.

The New York Jets got touchdowns on a kickoff return and a punt return in the same game for the first time in franchise history, Breece Hall took a screen pass from Justin Fields 42 yards for the go-ahead score and the Jets held on to defeat the Cleveland Browns 27-20 on a rainy Sunday.

Five days after trading cornerback Sauce Gardner and defensive tackle Quinnen Williams in stunning moves, the Jets (2-7) came off their bye-week break to win their second game in a row.

Kene Nwangwu returned a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter and moments later, Isaiah Williams brought back a punt 74 yards for a score. 

With the Jets leading 27-20, Fields scrambled on third-and-16 and Devin Bush was called for holding, giving New York a first down with 1:50 left at its 44.

Hall ran three times and the Jets lined up on fourth down to let the play clock run down before planning to call a timeout and punt, but Cleveland’s Cameron Thomas jumped — and New York had a fresh set of downs and the victory.

QB Fields, who started again after seeming to have a tenuous hold on the job, was only 6 of 11 for 54 yards with the TD to Hall and his first interception of the season.
