Minkah Fitzpatrick intercepted a pass from Chicago Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent in the second quarter of Sunday's game, breaking the New York Jets' record-long 20-game streak without an interception that dated back to January 5, 2025. The last interception by the Jets was made by Ashtyn Davis against the Miami Dolphins. Fitzpatrick’s pickup helped the Jets take a 3-0 lead and improved their defensive performance for the season; they held Tennessee Titans to 10 points in Week 1 and allowed only 20 points to Green Bay Packers in Week 2, despite facing challenges in Week 3 against Detroit Lions where they lost 31-24.

Story summary
The New York Jets are facing a tough challenge as they prepare for their Week 4 game against the Chicago Bears. Breece Hall, their star running back, is out with a quad injury and may be sidelined for at least one more week. This forces rookie Braelon Allen to take on increased responsibilities in the backfield, alongside backup Isaiah Davis. The Jets are already struggling with rushing efficiency, averaging just 3.3 yards per carry this season.
Additionally, the team is without several other key players: WR Adonai Mitchell (finger), OL Dylan Parham (knee), TE Mason Taylor (thumb), and LB Kiko Mauigoa (quad). This leaves a thin roster particularly short-handed at receiver behind Garrett Wilson. Rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq could see increased playing time, as he broke out with seven catches for 105 yards and a touchdown in Week 3.
In contrast to their offensive struggles, the Jets' defense faces familiarity against Bears head coach Ben Johnson, who was an assistant alongside Jets head coach Aaron Glenn during their time together in Detroit. Despite these challenges, Jets quarterback Geno Smith remains optimistic about victory if he can stay upright and avoid pressure from Chicago's defensive front.
