Summary
Chicago dominated New York 23-12 on Sunday, with linebacker Devin Bush saying afterward it was "probably one of the easiest NFL games" he has played and that he even got "bored."
The lopsided feel came from total control: the Bears outgained the Jets 492-157, held the ball for 42:15, and ran 89 plays to New York's 32.
Kyle Monangai powered the offense with 146 rushing yards and two touchdowns, while backup quarterback Tyson Bagent—starting for injured Caleb Williams—went 25-of-34 for 268 yards and one interception.
Chicago's defense added sacks from Bush, Dayo Odeyingbo and Austin Booker, while Jets coach Aaron Glenn and quarterback Geno Smith both pointed to a lack of complementary football.
New York's lone bright spot was Minkah Fitzpatrick's first-half interception, which ended the Jets' 20-game drought without a pick, but the result underscored how far the offense still has to go.
