The Chicago Bears will battle the New York Jets on Sunday, where Ben Johnson will square off against his former colleague Aaron Glenn for the first time as head coaches.
The Bears are coming off an impressive 27-7 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, where they once again dominated the trenches and made a statement with third-stringer Case Keenum under center amid quarterback injuries. Keenum orchestrated Ben Johnson's offense to perfection, completing 24-of-34 passes for 247 yards and accounting for three total touchdowns. Meanwhile, Chicago's defense had an even better showing in Week 3, holding the Eagles to just seven points, forcing three turnovers and completely shutting them down in the second half.
Here’s how the Bears and Jets stack up statistically
