The Chicago Bears defense came to play for the third consecutive game and there’s reason to believe Dennis Allen’s could be even better as the season goes on.
Now you can ask whether the Chicago Bears have a quarterback-proof head coach, as the team notched its third win of the season behind its third different signal caller following a 23-12 bludgeoning of the New York Jets.
The Chicago Bears dominated the New York Jets in Week 4, improving to 3-1 with a convincing 23-12 victory. While the final score tells part of the story, the snap counts provide a closer look at how head coach Ben Johnson and the coaching staff deployed their personnel throughout the game.
The Chicago Bears’ window is wide open right now after improving to 3-1 and adding a legit pass rushing threat off the edge can help this team maximize what this season could become.
A few trades have rearranged the NFL's backup quarterback ranks, but the dust has mostly settled. From a mix of recent first-round disappointments, aging vets, and young project types, here is how the league's QB2 ranks look for the 2026 season.
Ben Johnson and the Chicago Bears are now 3-1 despite missing Caleb Williams in the last two games. They have found a way to win back-to-back matchups with Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent starting.
Tyson Bagent's first action since 2023 didn't go quite as well as Case Keenum's did. It went well enough, though. The 23-12 victory in a game nowhere as close as the score indicated had plenty of running and ball control but also a second straight strong passing day by a backup QB to injured Caleb Williams.
No greater an example existed of how far the Bears have come as a franchise than the simple fact they went without punting Sunday for the first time since 2014.

Tyson Bagent was named the Chicago Bears’ starter for Week 4 despite Case Keenum shining in the previous week. The Shepherd product did not disappoint, recording an impressive stat line and leading the team to a 23-12 win over the New York Jets.
Ben Johnson did not want to give the media the satisfaction of being right about who his Chicago Bears would start at quarterback on Sunday. Reports emerged earlier this week that the Bears would start Tyson Bagent over Case Keenum in Week 4 against the New York Jets at Soldier Field in Chicago, Ill.
The Chicago Bears have a strong punter in Tory Taylor. His 50.3 yards per punt rank seventh early in the 2026 season. But when Taylor first came to the Bears, as a fourth-round pick in 2024, quarterback Caleb Williams sent a blunt message.
The Chicago Bears ground game sent a powerful message in Sunday’s 23-12 victory over the New York Jets. Chicago can build an offensive identity around the run even when quarterback uncertainty dominates the conversation.
The Chicago Bears improved to 3-1 this season after a huge win on Sunday against the New York Jets. D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai shined in the backfield, helping the team secure a 23-12 win.
Don't look now, but the Chicago Bears might have themselves a good defense this season. After a terrible start to the season in the shootout against the Carolina Panthers in Week 1, the Bears have now seen their defense put together three straight fantastic performances.
The Bears beat the Jets on Sunday, winning their second straight game without Caleb Williams at quarterback. That puts Chicago at 3-1 on the year.

The Chicago Bears are in action Sunday afternoon against the New York Jets, once again without starting quarterback Caleb Williams. This left head coach Ben Johnson with a decision to make.
The Bears announced on Saturday that they have placed LT Braxton Jones on IR and elevated Marcus Davenport and Nick McCloud from the practice squad. Jones, 27, is a former fifth-round pick by the Bears in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Southern Utah.
The Chicago Bears have undergone plenty of changes on defense, but one thing hasn’t changed: their ability to take the football away. Despite featuring several new faces, Dennis Allen’s unit continues to make creating turnovers a priority.
The Bears have been rotating starter Braxton Jones and backup Theo Benedet at left tackle to start the season, but the latter may have to take on the full-time role in Week 4.
