In a tightly contested battle, the New York Jets topped the Chicago Bears 22-17 in Week 4 of the 2026 season. This victory not only boosts the Jets' momentum but also places them firmly in the playoff conversation as the season progresses. Geno Smith led the Jets with a solid performance, throwing for 246 yards while Breece Hall showcased his skills on the ground, racking up 93 rushing yards. The Jets' offense found a way to stay productive, even as they faced a tough Bears defense. Caleb Williams managed to throw one touchdown for Chicago, but it wasn’t enough to match the Jets’ efficiency. Defensively, the Bears were led by Jamal Adams, who tallied 11 total tackles and snagged an interception, showcasing his ability to disrupt the Jets' rhythm. Grady Jarrett also made his presence felt with 1.5 sacks, putting pressure on Smith throughout the game. However, the turning point came in the fourth quarter when the Jets' defense held firm, forcing a critical turnover that allowed them to maintain their narrow lead and secure the win.
