Bears defense aims for consistency after recent strong performances

The Chicago Bears defense looks to maintain momentum as they prepare for Week 4 against the New York Jets. After a tough Week 1, the defense rebounded by allowing just three points to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2 and shutting out the Philadelphia Eagles in the second half of their recent matchup. Currently, they rank seventh in scoring defense with 17.7 points per game allowed and tied for seventh in Pro Football Network's Defense Impact metric. Head coach Ben Johnson emphasized the ongoing improvement and competition within the unit. The upcoming game against the Jets, who rank 13th in total offense, will be a crucial test of the defense's development.
