3 reasons for optimism as the Bears face the Jets in Week 4

Here are three reasons for optimism as the Chicago Bears prepare to face the New York Jets in Week 4.

The Chicago Bears face the New York Jets in Week 4, and there is optimism surrounding the team's chances against their division rivals. Despite uncertainty over the starting quarterback, Chicago has two solid options in Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent, with Keenum having an impressive performance in Week 3. The Bears' rushing offense is also performing well, while the Jets have struggled to move the ball on the ground.

This presents an opportunity for the Bears to establish their run game early and gain control of the game. Additionally, Geno Smith has a poor history against the NFC North, having only won once in three matchups against the Bears. His overall performance against the division has been lackluster, further adding to Chicago's advantage.

Lastly, the Jets' offensive line has had some issues, particularly in their last two games, resulting in nine sacks. This gives Chicago's defensive line an opportunity to pressure the Jets' quarterbacks and further boost the Bears' chances of winning.
