Mirro Roder, who minutes earlier was robbed of a chance to kick a 19-yard field goal because of a fumbled snap, was successful on a 24-yard attempt with 36 seconds remaining to enable the Bears to snap a five-game losing streak. It was the Giants' fourth straight loss, including an overtime defeat by the Jets and setbacks in the final two seconds to the Lions and final three seconds to the Cardinals.
