The Chicago Bears<\/a> got to the New York Giants Mike Glennon right out of the gates and Robert Quinn etched his name in franchise history. On the second play of the game, Trevis Gipson<\/a> forced a strip-sack. Bilal Nichols recovered it and the Bears were up 7-0 before the Giants could even blink.<\/span><\/p>\n

It got even worse as on the very next drive. Glennon threw a pass that was bobbled by Bears safety Tashaun Gipson before he finally intercepted it and Deon Bush would later pick off another.<\/span><\/p>\n

New York\u2019s defense finally settled down, forcing punts on the next two Chicago possessions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Giants pass rush making things uncomfortable for Bears starting quarterback Andy Dalton<\/a>. However, a<\/span>\u00a022-3 halftime lead put the Bears firmly in the driver\u2019s seat and they closed the home slate, and started 2022, with a 29-3 win.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Robert Quinn Made History in the Chicago Bears Home Finale<\/h2>\n

Defensive Charge<\/span><\/h3>\n

Trevis Gipson had arguably his best day as a pro. He got to Glennon twice for strip-sacks. The Bears gave it right back on the second one, though, with a Dalton interception. Still, it was a banner day for a defense that has been accused of living off of its reputation for far too long. They were flying around the ball in this one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quinn came about as close to breaking the franchise record of 17.5 sacks set by Richard Dent back in \u201884 very early on in the contest. But Glennon managed to flip the ball to Saquan Barkley at the last moment to stave off history.<\/span><\/p>\n

He had another close call wiped out by a defensive holding penalty.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, with under eight minutes to go in the game, Quinn came screaming around the left side of the offensive line to get Glennon in his clutches.<\/span><\/p>\n

He wouldn\u2019t let go this time as he secured the Bears single-season sack record.<\/span><\/p>\n

With another game to go, Quinn has a chance to pad his standing as the Bears will face Sean Mannion at quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings in Week 18. He\u2019ll be making just his fourth start in that game giving the Bears a chance to finish out their fairly miserable campaign on a positive note.<\/span><\/p>\n

Changes are almost certainly coming to this side of the ball just like any other. But Quinn\u2019s season has been a well-deserved bright spot for him, the franchise, and the fans.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quinn appreciated the moment saying it was nice having everyone pulling for him. He also said that, initially, he wasn\u2019t sure what was happening when they stopped the game to honor him. Nagy had called a timeout to let the moment sink in.<\/span><\/p>\n
