Quick Summary

The article discusses a poor performance by an unnamed team, likely the Jets, in a loss to the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. The score was reported as 23-12 but is described as much worse than that based on the game's quality. This defeat follows close losses to the Packers and Lions, which had previously provided some optimism, but this loss feels like a significant regression for the team.

Story summary

The New York Jets will face the Chicago Bears in Week 4 without several key players due to injuries. RB Breece Hall (quad) is out, turning the starting role over to Braelon Allen, who has averaged just 3.7 yards per carry on 129 career attempts. The Jets are also missing WR Adonai Mitchell (finger), OL Dylan Parham (knee), TE Mason Taylor (thumb), and LB Kiko Mauigoa (quad). Head coach Aaron Glenn, facing former colleague Ben Johnson from their time with the Detroit Lions, aims to end a two-game losing streak. The Jets' offensive line must protect QB Geno Smith effectively if they hope for an upset victory in Chicago.

🔮 Or you can look at it and say the Jets lost another game they could have won.
🔮 tRY IT NOWLook, if you had told a Jets fan in August that the team would lose by three points to the Packers in overtime and seven points to the Lions in a game they could have won in the fourth quarter, they probably would have signed up for that.
🔮 You might have to go back to Mike White in 2022 for a quarterback performance like this in a meaningful game.
🔮 This will be the stiffest test they have faced.
