Jets finally get their elusive interception, but other problems of the past recur

The New York Jets ended a 20-game drought without an interception but still suffered a deflating 23-12 defeat against the Chicago Bears. Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick secured the long-awaited takeaway in the second quarter off Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent, snapping a 637-day streak. However, three other potential New York interceptions were negated by defensive penalties during the contest.

Chicago dominated the game by holding possession for 42 minutes and 45 seconds, limiting the Jets to a franchise-record low of 32 offensive plays. Head coach Aaron Glenn expressed deep frustration over New York's 12 penalties and lack of discipline, while quarterback Geno Smith struggled by completing just 8 of 15 passes for 119 yards.
