The New York Jets offense predictably struggled against a stout Chicago Bears defense ultimately finishing the game with one of their worst performances of the season. But at the same time, it’s not like this wasn’t expected.
The Jets entered the game sans their top two wide receivers, their top running back, and their starting center. This doesn’t even account for the loss of the team’s starting tight end and top remaining receiver at a point in the middle of the game.
Special teamers and reserve players were given significant snaps on the road in windy conditions against a vigorous Bears defense.
