Jets' humiliating loss to Bears of course came in historical fashion

There's no other way to describe the New York Jets' Week 4 loss to the Chicago Bears than pure and utter domination. Chicago took control of the game early and never let go, holding a wire-to-wire lead from beginning to end.

If you're a Jets fan scrolling on social media, you likely can't help but see new statistics after new statistics showing the utter incompetence put on display by the Jets in Week 4. It paints Aaron Glenn's unit in a fairly awful light.

To sum it all up in one sentence: Glenn's Jets seemed woefully unprepared for the task at hand against the Bears, while Ben Johnson once again proved why every team was falling over themselves to hire him during the 2025 coaching cycle.

New York Jets keep finding new ways to lose football games

The Jets ran only 32 offensive plays on Sunday afternoon and had possession of the ball for a measly 17:15 of game time.

Chicago, on the other hand, ran 89 offensive plays and held the football for 42:45 of game time. A disparity like that doesn't happen all that often in the NFL, and here are a few stats that may make the hair on the back of your neck stand up.

ESPN's Benjamin Solak shared on his X account that the 89-32 offensive play differential was only the fourth time since 1970 that such a wide gap had occurred, and it was the first time it had happened since 1999.

Chicago's dominant run game likely had a lot to do with that. The Bears ran for 232 yards between five different rushers on 54 carries, with Kyle Monangai having a day with 146 yards himself, along with two touchdowns.

To put into perspective how dominant the Bears' offense was compared to the Jets', Chicago had the same number of first downs as the Jets had offensive plays. Johnson's unit moved the sticks 34 times, while New York snapped the ball with possession a grand total of 34 times.

Adding insult to injury, Chicago never even trotted out punter Tory Taylor. The Bears' kicker got a long day of rest on the bench, the first time their team hadn't punted in a game since September 28, 2014. It's only the fourth time in the Super Bowl era that Chicago didn't need that phase of special teams, per The Chicago Tribune's Brad Biggs.

Just an overall embarrassing day for the Jets and their head coach, and a game that fans will point to as the calls for Glenn's job grow louder.
