Pro Football Reference knows who started that #Bears game at QB.

The #Bears allowed just 7 first downs to the #Jets, which is the fewest they've allowed since December 14, 1991, when they allowed 7 to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Here's a clip of Kyle Monangai's last play of the game. He didn't seem to be favoring his thumb here, so hopefully it's nothing serious. He did say he'd get it checked out tomorrow, and he wasn't sure when he hurt it. #Bears

The #Bears offense ran 89 plays, held the ball for 42:45, and they didn't punt.

#Bears head coach Ben Johnson said Kyle Monangai left the game late with a thumb injury.

Dayo Odeyingbo didn't get that sack, but his pressure was right there, and he's looked good today (and this season) for the #Bears.

Kyle Monangai wouldn't be denied on that 4th-down play!

And no flags!

#Bears on the board!

Nice tackle by Tyrique Stevenson on that 3rd down. #Bears

The first injury report for the #Bears and #Jets came out on Wednesday, and with the Bears playing on Monday, theirs was an estimate. The bad news: starting LT Braxton Jones was a DNP, but the good news: Kyler Gordon was FULL. This bodes well for Gordon being activated for Week 5 vs. the Packers.

PFF catching strays in Case Keenum's postgame presser! 😂

When talking about how the #Bears offensive line didn't give up any sacks (the one that was allowed was negated by a Philly penalty), Keenum said that "PFF may count those."

Deebo Samuel set an NFL record for the most receiving yards in a game without a reception: 80. It happened because of the NFL's lateral yardage rules. My deep dive:
