Just like that, Jets TD against Stevenson, got burnt for 58 yards. Somehow they miss the XP, keeping it an 11 pt game.

Another FG, 23-6. makes it a 3 score game, should be over. Still crazy how this offensive juggernaut can't get one yard so many times.

Monangai is a beast.

After 3 quarters, Bears 20-6, Yards 380-85, TOP 28:30 to 16:30. Bears offense has 65 plays, Jets have 32. If not for the Bears two turnovers, this would be an absolute blow out.

Bears 20-6, need to close this one out. Another 3 and out for the defense. They have been the top defense since Week 2.

2nd terrible fumble in 4 games for Swift, geez.

13-3 at halftime, feels like it would be a 20-pt lead. Bagent has completed 72% of his passes with 170 yards in the first half, but it just does not seem as clean as Keenum.

Bears defense playing great. Stevenson should've had a pick there, but at least they forced a punt.

Defense needs a stop here. Don't allow pts before the half as the Jets get the ball to start the 2nd half. The Bears with 40 plays already. 60+ is where the fatigue kicks in. Should be an interesting 4th quarter.

He did that to satisfy all the "take the points" crowd. He will go for every 4th down the rest of the game lol.

Yeah, 10-3 lead, should be more. Lost 7 on the BS overturned TD and the Bagent INT gave the Jets 3 pts. Should be 17-0. Bagent clearly does not look as good as Keenum.

Bears 7-3 after Jets FG. Totally on Bagent. Can't gift the other team easy points. This is his chance to see how he responds to adversity. Need a TD drive to get that taste out of your mouth.

Damn, Bagent with another INT, this one counts. Terrible throw, behind Loveland. I can't imagine he will have a long leash. The Bears are dominating, can't make game changing mistakes like that.

Booker with a huge sack on 3rd Down, or should I have said Book-air!

Oh I agree, let's get it done before 4th Down.

Bears finally score, quarter over, the Jets have 3 plays on offense lol. Should be 14-0, but refs. Bagent looks pretty good, not as quick as Keenum, but a couple of longer passes to Odunze and Burden. Burden has 49 receiving yards in the 1st quarter.

No way you can overturn that.

Bears got robbed of another TD. 2 TD runs overturned.

He was activated off the PUP on August 16th, so next week is close to 2 months.

OZ.

Yes, before he gets on the court. I am assuming he is implying that he will be coming off IR soon (next month).

Also, the Bears are in good company right now. They are one of 4 teams with a top 10 offense and top 10 defense in EPA/P. They join KC, JAX, and CIN. Other teams are skewed really heavily towards offense (BUF and SF) or defense (MIN and LVR) which is typically unsustainable. Extending on this thought, teams that finished with a + Offensive EPA/P and a - Defensive EPA/P where their EPA Difference was over 0.10 has an average record of 12.5 - 4.5 over the last 5 years. Only one team in the last 5 years finished below .500 when they had a positive EPA/P on Offense and negative on defense, the Colts last year who lost 7 straight (started 8-2). Right now SF leads with an absurd +0.40, KC at +0.31, JAX at +0.30, and CHI at +0.21. The Bears are the only one to have already started a backup QB in that group.

This guy has exceeded my expectations tenfold. Not only does he seem like an awesome leader and locker room presence, he is balling on the field too. If anyone would've told me he would be a top 10 WR in the NFL thru 3 weeks and the Bears leading receiver, I would've called them crazy. He has a 90.5% catch rate (19/21) which is the highest catch rate in the NFL this season with players that have 20+ targets. The next closest is Coker at 80.8%. He is 6th in Receptions, and his average separation is 5.2 yds, tied for the best in the NFL. In comparison, Burden has a 2.8 and Odunze has a 1.5. Raymond is on pace for over 1,200 yards receiving. I am sure others will get more involved, like Loveland and Thomas but it is clear Raymond has more than replaced DJ Moore's productivity on this roster.

With Breece out, they become much more predictable. Mitchell was their #2 WR, so the only real threats on offense are Wilson and Sadiq. Using EPA/Play as a guide, the Bears should be favored by 7 pts as the Bears defense has a huge advantage on the Jets offense, and that doesn't take into account the injuries you mentioned: +0.08 CHI OFF vs -0.08 NYJ DEF = Net 0.00 +0.01 NYJ OFF vs -0.13 CHI DEF = -0.12 CHI ADV So this should be a game the Bears can control and win handily.

At 2-1, and going into a game at home against NYJ, the Bears should be 3-1 going to GB next Saturday. If they can squeeze out a win there and go to 4-1, it feels like they can go on crazy run. This is the remaining schedule through the bye: WK 6 - @ ATL 1-2 WK 7 - vs NE 1-2 WK 8 - @ SEA 2-1 WK 9 - vs TB 0-3 WK 10 - vs NO 1-2 WK 11 - BYE The SEA game feels like the only one that is a truly tough matchup, but they just lost to WAS with Mariota and barely beat the terrible Patriots. So I even feel optimistic about that game. So 8-1 is actually realistic at the bye. They may not get there, but it is not completely crazy to think they can.
