Overview
- The Chicago Bears will host the New York Jets at Soldier Field on Sunday in Week 4 with Johnson and Glenn facing each other as head coaches after four seasons together as Lions coordinators.
- Caleb Williams remains sidelined with a right hamstring injury and Chicago has not named a starter, leaving Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent as likely options for Sunday.
- The Jets enter the game with a sharply improved defense that ranks second in yards allowed at about 258.3 yards per game, a unit Glenn now calls plays for.
- Glenn is under pressure after a 3-14 2025 season and a 4-16 overall mark as Jets coach, so this game is widely framed as an opportunity for a signature win that could change perceptions of his tenure.
- Ben Johnson’s early head-coaching success — including a 2025 division title and a playoff win — and his familiarity with Glenn shape game plans for both teams and underline the matchup’s tactical angle.
