Quick Summary

In a 23-12 loss to the Chicago Bears, former Rutgers standout Kyle Monangai dominated for the Bears with 146 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent, making his first start since 2023, added 268 passing yards. The Jets' Geno Smith struggled significantly, completing only 8 of 15 passes for 119 yards and one touchdown while failing to convert any third-down attempts. A particularly stark statistic was the Bears holding a 34-32 edge in first downs compared to total offensive plays by the Jets, marking the first time since 2016 an NFL team failed to match this metric against their opponent’s first downs.

Story summary

The New York Jets are facing another tough game without injured star running back Breece Hall for their Week 4 matchup against the Chicago Bears in Soldier Field. Hall suffered a quad injury during Sunday's loss to the Detroit Lions and is considered week-to-week, leaving backups Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis to carry the load. The Jets' offensive line also faces challenges with left guard Dylan Parham out due to knee issues. Head coach Aaron Glenn expects his team to improve their run game despite these setbacks after averaging only 3.3 yards per carry in recent games. Meanwhile, the Jets will face familiar foe Ben Johnson, who was a former assistant with Glenn in Detroit and now coaches the Bears' defense. Additionally, the Jets are still dealing with an ongoing interception drought that has lasted over two seasons, adding pressure for them to secure their first pick since 2024 against either Caleb Williams or backup quarterback Tyson Bagent.
