Bears defense excels on third downs under Ben Johnson's guidance

The Chicago Bears defense achieved a strong performance on third downs during Week 4, allowing no conversions by the New York Jets on seven attempts. This success has positioned them with the second-best third-down defense in the NFL, having surrendered only nine conversions on 38 attempts so far this season. Head coach Ben Johnson credited defensive coordinator Dennis Allen for creating a cohesive strategy that emphasizes both run and pass defense. Looking ahead, the Bears will face the Green Bay Packers, who currently rank last in the league with a third-down conversion rate of 26.1 percent.
