The Chicago Bears are a team on the rise, amassing young roster talent. Perhaps these New York Jets are just a year or so behind in their own rebuild. Perhaps.
In the previous three games, QB Mitchell Trubisky, second pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, passed for 1,003 yards and 11 TDs and ran for 181 and a TD. In that regard, the Jets defense, with no margin for error, did a decent job (16/29, 220 yards, 2 TDs). They just got worn down by the end of the game.
The Jets caught a huge break on the other side of the ball with blitzing terror Khalil Mack on the bench after wrecking his right ankle in Week 6.
