How the Bears won

• Tyson Bagent started in place of the injured Caleb Williams (hamstring) and went 25-of-34 for a career-high 268 yards with one interception in his first start since 2023; he became the third different QB to win a Bears start in the first four weeks (after Williams and Case Keenum). [source]
• Kyle Monangai carried a career-high 30 times for 146 yards and both Bears touchdowns: a 1-yard plunge on fourth-and-goal in the first quarter and a 5-yard run in the third that capped a 9-play, 72-yard drive. [source]
• The Bears outgained the Jets 492–157, piled up 34 first downs to New York's 7, never punted, and held the ball for 42:45 to the Jets' 17:15. [source]
• Chicago ran 89 offensive plays to New York's 32; per ESPN's Benjamin Solak, a play differential that large had happened only three other times since 1970 and not since 1999. [source]
• Dennis Allen's defense held the Jets to 0-for-7 on third down, sacked Geno Smith three times with seven QB hits, and allowed just one touchdown for the second straight game: Smith's 58-yard strike to Isaiah Williams in the fourth quarter (the PAT was missed). [source]
• Two apparent D'Andre Swift touchdown runs were overturned on replay, one of them creating a turnover on downs at the goal line, and the Bears finished only 2-for-7 scoring TDs in the red zone, leaning on three Cairo Santos field goals (30, 30, 21). [source]
• The Bears gave the ball away twice: Minkah Fitzpatrick picked off a Bagent pass intended for Colston Loveland (the Jets' first interception since the 2024 finale), and Jamien Sherwood forced a Swift fumble recovered by Brandon Stephens. The defense held New York to a field goal after each. [source]
• Chicago closed the game with an 18-play, 76-yard drive that burned 9:07 off the clock, aided by three Jets defensive penalties that converted third or fourth downs. [source]
• Rome Odunze's 37-yard catch on third-and-5 set up a Santos field goal and was his best outing of the season to that point with Bagent at QB. [source]
• Monangai left with a thumb injury that Johnson called day-to-day; he also dealt with a toe injury and would miss the following week at Green Bay. [source]
• Three Jets defenders (Dane Belton, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Darrell Jackson) were later fined a combined $43,983 by the NFL for illegal hits in the game; no Bears were fined. [source]
• The win moved the Bears to 3-1 and made them 2-0 without Caleb Williams; it came six days after their 27-7 Monday night win over the Eagles. [source]

The chant after this one

Every win ends the same way: Johnson gathers the room, calls for quiet, and leads the four lines one at a time with the whole team answering. This was chant No. 16 of the Johnson era.

• Johnson handed out one game ball, to linebacker Devin Bush, for a line of four tackles, a tackle for loss, a sack and a QB hit against a Jets offense held to 157 yards. [source]
• Johnson closed the speech by asking the room twice, 'You guys know what next week is?' then 'Alright, enough said. Bring it in,' a nod to the upcoming trip to Lambeau Field without naming the Packers, before the Good-Better-Best chant. [source]
• The team's official locker-room video was posted as 'Bears postgame locker room after Week 4 victory vs. Jets' on the Chicago Bears YouTube channel and as 'Ben Johnson postgame locker room speech after win over Jets' on chicagobears.com. [source]
