Overview
- Minkah Fitzpatrick intercepted Tyson Bagent in the second quarter, ending the Jets’ NFL-record run of 20 games and 636 pass attempts without a regular-season interception on Sunday at Soldier Field.
- The team had multiple apparent takeaways wiped out by penalties, including T’Vondre Sweat’s called-back interception after Azareye’h Thomas was flagged for illegal use of hands.
- New York converted Fitzpatrick’s turnover into a 36-yard field goal by Jason Sanders, showing the pick produced points but limited momentum for the offense.
- The Jets lost 23-12 as Chicago outgained them 492-157 and Bears running back Kyle Monangai rushed for 146 yards and two touchdowns, underscoring defensive breakdowns and offensive stagnation.
- Head coach Aaron Glenn downplayed the milestone and focused on the loss and discipline problems, a stance that raises pressure on coaching and signals the team must quickly fix penalties, pass rush and play-calling to avoid a deeper slide.
