The Chicago Bears dominated the New York Jets in a physically imposing performance at Soldier Field on Sunday, winning 23-12 in a contest that underscored their strong ground game more than the final score suggests. The victory improved the Bears' record to 3-1 for the season.

Quarterback Ben Johnson, who has gained a reputation for his passing skills, appeared particularly energized when discussing the team’s rushing attack. The Bears amassed 232 rushing yards on 54 carries, led by running back Kyle Monangai, who delivered a career-best performance. Monangai carried the ball 30 times for 146 yards and scored two touchdowns, driving the Bears’ offense effectively on the ground throughout the game.

At quarterback, the Bears broke new ground early in the season, becoming just the third NFL team since 1950 to win games with three different quarterbacks in their first four contests. The team opened the game with Case Keenum under center, who initiated the initial snap before handing off to D’Andre Swift as Tyson Bagent lined up wide. Bagent then took over at quarterback for the remainder of the game.

Bagent completed 25 of 34 passes for 268 yards in his first significant playing time since his rookie season in 2023. Though his solid performance was a notable aspect of the game, Chicago’s success was largely driven by the relentless rushing attack orchestrated by the Bears’ coaching staff and executed on the field.

The Jets struggled to contain the Bears’ physical style of play, as Chicago consistently controlled the line of scrimmage and dictated the tempo. The Bears leveraged their run game to wear down the Jets’ defense, allowing them to sustain drives and maintain possession.

Sunday’s win reinforces Chicago’s identity as a team capable of blending a versatile passing game with a punishing running attack. With multiple quarterbacks contributing wins early in the season, the Bears have demonstrated both depth and adaptability in their offense heading into the next phase of the schedule.
