Look, the Chicago Bears have a bad defense. You know it. I know it. Everybody knows it.
Chicago is ranked 27th in scoring defense (25.4 points per game) and is allowing the most yards per pass play (7.3) of any team in the NFL. New York Jets quarterback Mike White undoubtedly lucked into a cakewalk of a matchup for his first start of the 2022 season.
But that shouldn’t diminish White’s performance.
White completed 22 of 28 passes for 315 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 0 interceptions in his season debut. It was a masterful display from the Jets’ new starter.
