Week 4: Jets Visit Bears Without Breece Hall as Chicago Sorts Out Its Quarterback

Read the full recap →

The New York Jets visit the Chicago Bears on Sunday, October 4. Chicago is 2-1 after a 27-7 win over Philadelphia on Monday night in which 38-year-old Case Keenum accounted for three touchdowns in his first start in 1,009 days; Caleb Williams (hamstring) and Tyson Bagent (concussion) have no announced return dates. New York is 1-2 after a 31-24 loss at Detroit, and Breece Hall is week-to-week with a quad injury and unlikely to play. The Bears are on a short week. Friday update: Jets safety Minkah Fitzpatrick practiced in full and is set to return from a groin injury. Friday update: Bagent took first-team reps and is expected to start for Chicago; Hall is out for New York.

Keenum, Bagent or Williams

Ben Johnson has three possible starters and one of them just beat the Eagles by 20.

New York's run game

Sixty-seven and 58 rushing yards the past two weeks, and now Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis replace Hall.

Chicago's defense

Nine points allowed to Minnesota and seven to Philadelphia, with three takeaways on Monday night.

Pregame AI Prediction

Winner called correctly Confidence: Medium

How the prediction did

Predicted 17-23 (Jets vs Bears), final was 12-23. Right winner with Chicago's 23 points called exactly and the margin off by 5. Tyson Bagent started and threw for 268 yards, Kyle Monangai ran 30 times for 146 yards and two touchdowns, and the Bears outgained the Jets 492 to 157 and held the ball for nearly 43 minutes. New York went 0 of 7 on third down.

Chicago's defense is playing at a top-five level

Sixteen points allowed in two games and the Jets arrive without their lead back.

The Bears have won with their third quarterback

Whoever starts, the offense under Johnson produced 375 yards against Philadelphia.

Geno Smith has been productive

Three hundred twenty-one yards and three touchdowns in Detroit keeps the Jets within a score.

A Medium lean at home. The model misjudged this Chicago offense badly last week and has adjusted.
