What happened: The Chicago Bears generated 11 explosive plays against the New York Jets in Week 4. Operating behind backup quarterback Tyson Bagent, the offense attacked the secondary with deep passing concepts while leaning on heavy formations for chunk gains on the ground. Rome Odunze secured multiple long receptions, while Kyle Monangai and D'Andre Swift broke loose for chunk runs.

Why it matters: Producing consistent yardage with a backup under center underscores the structural strength of the scheme. The rushing efficiency from multiple tight end sets forced New York to commit to the run, opening passing lanes on the perimeter. Generating sudden offense allowed Chicago to dictate tempo and sustain critical scoring drives.

By the numbers: D'Andre Swift compiled 1,087 rushing yards and nine touchdowns across 16 games in 2025, while Cole Kmet added 347 receiving yards and two scores for Chicago.

What to watch: Chicago will look to replicate this offensive efficiency in upcoming matchups. The coaching staff continues to integrate rookie Kyle Monangai into the backfield rotation.
