Overview
- New York lost 24-20 at Chicago to fall to 2-8 and set a franchise record with an 11th straight road defeat.
- Rookie Jaxson Dart became the only first-year QB with rushing touchdowns in five consecutive games before exiting with a diagnosed concussion after Brian Daboll said he "didn't look right."
- Criticism mounted over Daboll opting for a 19-yard field goal from inside the 1-yard line and declining a penalty that would have given another shot at a touchdown late in the fourth quarter.
- Defensive lapses and special-teams miscues, including Jamie Gillan’s 26-yard punt and kickoff errors, helped fuel the Bears’ two late touchdown drives.
- A viral X post falsely claiming Daboll had been fired was debunked, though local coverage highlights growing calls for accountability and concern over Dart’s heavy-contact usage.
