• Chicago’s 23-12 win over the Jets looked comfortable on the scoreboard, but the game also worked as a split-screen of where both teams are right now: the Bears are starting to look organized on defense, while the Jets kept handing away chances to make the afternoon closer than it became.
  • The Bears held New York to 157 yards, and that number fit the way the game unfolded.
  • Chicago piled up 492 yards and set a franchise record with 34 first downs.
  • Caleb Williams was not active for the second straight game because of the hamstring injury he suffered in the Bears’ Week 2 loss to the Vikings, and he is expected to possibly miss one or two more games.
  • In his place, the Bears are reportedly rolling with Tyson Bagent as the starter and Case Keenum as the backup.
  • Aaron Glenn expressed frustration over the penalties and missed opportunities for turnovers, and the numbers backed that up: the Jets drew eight of the game’s 12 penalties and were flagged 12 times for 76 yards.
  • The Bears are getting quicker defensive stops, more dependable run production, and enough structure around the quarterback situation to keep winning while Williams is out.
