The (2-1) Chicago Bears host the (1-2) New York Jets, and all signs point to Tyson Bagent making his first start since 2023 for the Bears. If Bagent wins, it’ll be the first time the Bears have had three different quarterbacks win a game in the same season since 2021.
The Bears lead the all-time series between these two franchises, with nine wins to four losses, but the Jets took the last one, 31 to 10 in 2022. In that game, a QB by the name of Mike White lit up Matt Eberflus’ Chicago defense with 315 yards and 3 TD passes.
