Kyle Monangai Scores 2 TDs as Chicago Bears Beat New York Jets 23-12
The Jets managed just 157 total yards and committed 12 penalties as Chicago leaned on 117 rushing yards from Kyle Monangai.
On Sunday, the New York Jets fell 23-12 to the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field, dropping to 1-3 and marking their third consecutive loss.
Chicago's offense outgained New York 492-157, with running back Kyle Monangai dominating the ground game for 146 yards and two touchdowns on 30 carries.
Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick ended the team's 20-game interception drought by picking off backup quarterback Tyson Bagent in the second quarter, while Geno Smith completed 8-of-15 passes for 119 yards and one touchdown.
The Jets committed 12 penalties, including infractions that erased three potential turnovers, while their inability to sustain drives left the defense struggling to contain Chicago's rushing attack.
After playing three of their first four games on the road, the Jets return to MetLife Stadium next week to host the Browns, needing to address self-sabotage to avoid repeating last season's struggles.
