Jets struggle in 23-12 loss to Bears in Week 4

The New York Jets lost 23-12 to the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on October 5, 2026, marking their third consecutive defeat. The Jets fell to 1-3 on the season and had difficulty establishing a rhythm on offense, with quarterback Geno Smith completing only eight passes. Although they secured their first interception of the season, the Jets' defensive struggles were evident as they allowed Bears running back Kyle Monangai to rush for 146 yards and two touchdowns. Frank Reich's play-calling faced criticism as the Jets move forward to face the Cleveland Browns next week.
