Kyle Monangai’s Two-Touchdown Day Lifts Bears Over Jets 23–12

Kyle Monangai anchored the Chicago Bears' offense in their Week 4 win over the New York Jets, rushing 30 times for 146 yards and scoring twice in a 23–12 victory on October 4, 2026. His ground work provided a steady offensive foundation as Monangai accounted for the bulk of the Bears’ scoring on the day.

Quarterback Tyson Bagent completed 25 of 34 passes for 268 yards but failed to find the end zone, throwing one interception. Wide receiver Rome Odunze was Bagent’s primary target, hauling in six catches for 94 yards, contributing to sustained drives though not directly generating scores.

For New York, Geno Smith connected on 8 of 15 passes for 119 yards and a touchdown, while running back Braelon Allen added 59 yards on 14 rushes without scoring. Isaiah Williams provided a spark receiving with two catches for 73 yards and the Jets’ lone receiving touchdown, marking a rare prolonged gain against a Bears defense that limited other big plays.

Chicago’s offense leaned heavily on Monangai’s rushing dominance to generate points and control the pacing. The Bears’ passing game supplied yardage needed to keep drives alive but didn’t translate into passing touchdowns, underscoring the run game’s critical role. Conversely, the Jets struggled to match that balance, with limited passing completions and an underwhelming rushing attack.

The Bears secured their second consecutive win with a clear reliance on a workhorse running back, while New York was unable to capitalize on key receptions and found scoring opportunities scarce beyond a single touchdown reception. Monangai’s workload and scoring impact defined the contest and gave Chicago a clear offensive edge in this NFL Week 4 matchup.
