The Chicago Bears secured a 23-12 victory over the New York Jets, showcasing a strong defensive performance that limited the Jets to just 157 total yards. The Bears' defense recorded three sacks and seven quarterback hits, continuing a trend of impressive play over the last three weeks. Offensively, Chicago amassed 492 yards and set a franchise record with 34 first downs, with Kyle Monangai leading the charge with 30 carries for 146 yards and two touchdowns.
The Jets struggled throughout the game, plagued by penalties and missed opportunities, including three interceptions nullified by flags. Head coach Aaron Glenn expressed frustration over the team's inability to capitalize on turnovers, as the Jets committed 12 penalties for 76 yards. Offensively, New York's performance was lackluster, with Braelon Allen managing only 59 yards on the ground and Garrett Wilson catching just three passes for 27 yards.
