Jets have both the NFL's top-rated run offense & run defense. They are first team to led NFL in both since 2007

Defensively, the Bears rank 27th against the run. After yielding 193 yards on the ground in a Week 1 loss to the Buffalo Bills, they were much better against the 49ers, permitting 129 yards. Expect the Jets to lean hard on their run game. Chris Johnson and Chris Ivory lit up the Oakland Raiders in Week 1, but struggled against the Packers in Week 2. They'll have a good chance to make some noise against a Bears rush defense that has allowed 5.4 yards per carry over the last 18 games. “These guys take pride in running the football,” said Bears defensive coordinator Mel Tucker about the Jets. “They’ve got a number of really good players that they can give the ball to and get production in the run game. They have a very physical offensive line, a hard-nosed, ground-and-pound-type of mentality. You can see that on tape with these guys.”

Offensively, the Bears rank 30th in the NFL in rushing, averaging just 66 yards per game. The Jets run defense has permitted an average of only 52.5 yards per game this season and hasn’t allowed an opposing running back to gain more than 43 yards. “This is a typical Rex Ryan defense,” said Bears offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer. “He’s going to make sure you can’t run up the middle first by the type of personnel that he gets. They’re huge, they’re strong and they’re powerful. There are not many yards to be gained.”

If the Jets lose, there's a good chance it will be because they got lit up by Chicago's potent passing attack. The Jets ' CBs remain a major weak point of an otherwise strong defense. Dee Milliner is listed as doubtful to play. That leaves Antonio Allen (a converted safety) and Darrin Walls as the team's two starters. Jay Cutler could struggle if Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery aren't themselves. Both wideouts are expected to play, but neither is 100 percent.

Geno Smith played the best football of his young career in the first 20 game minutes against the Packers . His play tailed off down the stretch. Which version of Smith will show up against the Bears ?

Eric Decker has very much looked like a true No. 1 receiver so far. Unfortunately for the Jets , Decker strained his hamstring against the Packers and is a game-time decision. The Jets are still waiting for a breakout performance for tight end Jace Amaro , the team's second-round pick.

      Bryce Young Game Winning Drives

      By KaseKlosed · Posted

      Bryce Young has recorded 4 game-winning drives through nine weeks, leading the Carolina Panthers to crucial victories in tight contests. The 12-play, 58-yard clock-killer versus the Packers in Week 9 (16-13 upset). This pace positions him as the team's most clutch performer in years, with a 68.4% success rate on go-ahead drivesalready surpassing many franchise benchmarks early in his career.   Young's early 2025 surge (top-5 league-wide in clutch EPA at 0.28 per dropback) not only outstrips the debuts of Newton (2 in 2011) and Delhomme (1 in 2003) but hints at him climbing this list quickly if the Panthers sustain their wildcard hunt. Data underscores his growth: no other Panther QB hit 4 GWDs before Week 10 in a season.   The energy fans pour into the stadium directly shapes Bryce Young’s performance positive support has been shown to elevate his fourth-quarter efficiency by 12%, strengthening team cohesion and execution under pressure. Criticizing or booing the starting quarterback fractures morale, disrupts focus, and undermines the very resilience needed in clutch moments. When fans stand firmly behind their QB and team, they become a true home-field advantage, amplifying performance and accelerating the path to sustained success. Now are you a Carolina Panther fan or a Panther hater?

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      Bryce would have extended some plays scrambling with his legs but then again he also has a high number of fumbles so you never know what you're going to get and the way the Bills were getting after Andy (sacked 7 times) it stands to reason Bryce would have been under duress often. What exactly do you want here? I mean I'm going to go by the gameplan I saw after Bryce turned the ball over against GB. Clearly Dave Canales was deliberately trying to limit the opportunities for him to make a catastrophic mistake. And didn't Micah Parsons log zero QB pressures? So with that in mind if you are asking for anyone to argue our offense with Bryce would have had much if any success against that opportunistic motivated Bills defense while we were also splitting carries between Rico and Chuba who had the majority of them which ended up being a situation resulting in a weeks worth of scathing criticism and deservedly so then I'm going to just have to say we can agree to disagree.
