Case Keenum started at quarterback for the Chicago Bears in their Week 4 game against the New York Jets, but it was Tyson Bagent who took over and steered the team to a 23-12 victory. Bagent’s performance earned him an 80.8 grade from Pro Football Network’s Impact Scoring model, placing him seventh among 32 NFL quarterbacks that week. The win improved the Bears’ record to 3-1 for the 2026 season and was marked by a dominant time of possession.
Bagent’s efficiency through the air stood out. He posted a +8.0 completion percentage over expectation (CPOE) and led the league with a 61.1% success rate on his throws. Wide receiver Rome Odunze was the Bears’ most effective receiving option, ranking 11th in the NFL with 0.95 expected points added (EPA) per play. Running back Kyle Monangai also contributed significantly, finishing sixth in the league with 16 rushing yards over expected and second with 150 total scrimmage yards.
The Bears’ offensive line showed solid performances across the board. Joe Thuney graded 81.4, Jonah Jackson 78.3, and Darnell Wright 80.6, all above-average for their positions. Tight end Colston Loveland added a 74.6 grade, ranking him 14th among 32 NFL tight ends in Week 4. D’Andre Swift’s output was less impressive, with a 67.8 grade, placing him 40th out of 44 running backs.
Defensively, the Bears relied heavily on their edge rushers to pressure the Jets’ quarterback. Dayo Odeyingbo and Austin Booker each recorded sacks, continuing the productive stretch from Chicago’s defensive ends. Odeyingbo posted a 77.5 grade (21st of 91 EDGEs) and Booker 77.2 (23rd of 91). However, the defensive tackles struggled; Neville Gallimore’s 53.9 grade ranked last among 103 NFL defensive tackles, with Grady Jarrett and Jordan van den Berg not faring much better.
Linebackers Devin Bush and T.J. Edwards held steady in coverage, allowing passer ratings of 66.7 and 73.1 respectively. The Bears’ rookie defensive backs Malik Muhammad and Dillon Thieneman impressed with grades of 81.7 and 77.5, each allowing a low quarterback rating of 39.6 when targeted. Tyrique Stevenson, however, faced difficulties in coverage and was targeted frequently by the Jets, contributing to some of New York’s offensive success.
Special teams saw Cairo Santos convert all three field goal attempts, though none exceeded 30 yards, resulting in a modest 77.3 grade, ranking 16th among 30 kickers. The Bears did not punt during the game, so Tory Taylor did not receive a grade for Week 4.
The Bears now prepare for their Week 5 matchup against the Green Bay Packers, carrying momentum from a performance that leaned on Bagent’s efficient quarterbacking and a defensive line that generated key pressure moments against the Jets.
