The TD was called back on defensive pass interference and was definitely a fair call.
The chop block (which I agree was dicey) was on a 9 yard run, but cost them 15 in penalty yards. They did convert the 1st and 25 over a few plays, so ultimately it didn't kill the drive, and the FG attempt was wide the entire time and would have missed even if we were closer (though if we were closer perhaps he takes a different angle on it and perhaps any number of other things would have happened).
Either way, the chop block didn't cost the Bears.
That said, I'm not even sure the big plays went for the Bears today. Both interceptions Mitch had could easily have been receptions by Bears receivers. Those were two huge plays that went the Giants way on balls that were probably 80/20 balls for the receiver. That's a huge amount of luck that swung their way.
The Bears actually outplayed the Giants, IMO, by a much greater amount than the score would reveal.
