The New York Jets were defeated 23-12 by the Chicago Bears in Week 4.
The loss to the Bears (3-1) represented the third consecutive defeat for a Jets I1-3) team that won in Week 1. Head coach Aaron Glenn's squad is currently trending in the wrong direction.
Such a game can teach us plenty of thints.
With that, Jets Wire identified things we learned about the Jets throughout Sunday's latest shortcoming:
The interception drought is over!
The Jets believed they had ended their ongoing interception drought when nose tackle T'Vondre Sweat intercepted a screen pass, but a penalty wiped out the takeaway. Ouch. Finally, the Jets' drought truly ended when veteran safety Minkah Fitzpatrick intercepted a Tyson Bagent pass across the middle early in the second quarter. The drought ends at 636
opposing pass attempts.
Shades of the 2025 offense
Offensive coordinator Frank Reich has improved the Jets' offense, but Sunday was a step backwards. Despite being without starting quarterback Caleb Williams, the Bears outgained the Jets 492-157. They also won the time of possession battle 42:45-17:15. It was the definition of lopsided.
Breece Hall was missed
Superstar running back Breece Hall was undeniably missed. The Jets rushed for just 59 net yards, with Braelon Allen limited to 59 yards via 14 carries. Hopefully Hall is healthy enough to return versus the Cleveland Browns in Week 5. The offense didn't function without him.
