Minkah Fitzpatrick ended the New York Jets' NFL-record interception drought of 20 consecutive games by catching a pass intended for Colston Loveland during Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears. The drought spanned over 643 pass attempts and 83 regulation quarters, making it the longest such streak in league history since tracking began in 1933. Fitzpatrick’s interception came after another player was flagged for a penalty that would have ended the drought earlier in the game.

Story summary
The New York Jets are set to face the Chicago Bears in Week 4, but they will be missing key players due to injuries. Running back Breece Hall is out with a quad injury and is considered week-to-week, while other injured players include wide receiver Adonai Mitchell, offensive lineman Dylan Parham, tight end Mason Taylor, and linebacker Kiko Mauigoa. Braelon Allen will take over as the lead running back, having averaged 3.7 yards per carry in his career so far. The Jets' struggling rushing game, averaging just 3.3 yards per carry, now relies on Allen to prove himself capable of handling a larger workload. On defense, safety Minkah Fitzpatrick is expected to return after being sidelined with a groin injury since Week 1. Head coach Aaron Glenn will face familiar territory as he squares off against his former colleague Ben Johnson, the Bears' head coach, whom he worked alongside in Detroit for four years.
