Jets’ Aaron Glenn receives encouraging message from Ben Johnson after Week 4 showdown

Following their third consecutive loss, the New York Jets found themselves in a rut after a hard-fought Week 4 defeat against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. The Jets' struggles were evident as they managed just seven first downs and 157 total yards, while the Bears dominated with 34 first downs and 89 plays. Running back Kyle Monangai proved to be the game's star, accumulating 146 rushing yards and two touchdowns.

Coach Aaron Glenn appeared disheartened following the result, but he was offered words of encouragement by former Jets' coach Ben Johnson during the postgame handshake exchange. Johnson expressed his appreciation for Glenn and his team, expressing belief that they are "close" and "right there." Glenn, who vowed in previous games to "close the gap," acknowledged the significant gap between their performances.

The coach admitted they need to improve their complementing each other and pointed out the stark difference in play count between the two teams. New York must address this issue if they hope to avoid further losses as they prepare to host the Cleveland Browns in their next game.
