Chicago gets break late in game for win

CHICAGO » Mitchell Trubisky threw two touchdown passes and the Chicago Bears hung on to beat the New York Giants 17- 13 on Sunday.

The Bears ( 2- 0) grabbed a 17- 0 halftime lead and withstood a big push a week after rallying from 17 down at Detroit for their first season- opening win in seven years.

The Giants ( 0- 2) refused to go quietly even though they lost star running back Saquon Barkley to a right knee injury on the opening play of the second quarter.

New York’s Dion Lewis made it a sevenpoint game when he plowed in from the 1 in the opening minute of the fourth.

James Bradberry then intercepted Trubisky when he ripped the ball out of Allen Robinson’s hands, leading to a 37- yard field goal by Graham Gano that cut it to 1713 with 7: 43 remaining.

The Bears caught a big break on fourth down at the New York 36 with just under four minutes left. New York’s Blake Martinez deflected a pass intended for Jimmy Graham, and the ball ricocheted to tackle Bobby Massie for a first down. Cairo Santos missed wide left on a 50- yard field goal attempt, giving New York the ball on the 40 with 2: 02 remaining.

The Giants drove to the 10 before Golden Tate got flagged for pushing off against Eddie Jackson near the goal line on an incomplete pass as time expired.

Trubisky completed 18 of 28 passes for 190 yards and was intercepted twice.

He threw a 28- yard touchdown pass to David Montgomery on the game’s opening possession and fired a 15- yarder to Darnell Mooney in the closing seconds of the first half to give the Bears a 17- 0 lead.

Montgomery ran for 82 yards. Robert Quinn had a strip sack in the first quarter that led to a field goal in his Bears debut.
