Today’s Jets News has a much clearer injury picture heading into Chicago, and it is not a good one for the offense. Breece Hall, Adonai Mitchell, Mason Taylor, Dylan Parham and Kiko Mauigoa have all been ruled out for Sunday, forcing the Jets to lean on their depth against the Bears. The good news is Minkah Fitzpatrick is set to return after missing the last two games with a groin injury. Geno Smith remains one of the biggest positives through three weeks, and Chicago’s defense presents another opportunity for him to stay hot. The Jets have lost two straight close games, so this week is about more than surviving injuries. They have to finish one.

New York Jets Are 6-14 in Close Games. Can They Change That in Chicago? – JetNation
The Jets have been competitive, but they have not been finishing games. Since the start of 2024, New York is 6-14 in regular-season games decided by eight points or fewer, including both losses this year. The Green Bay collapse and the late loss in Detroit showed the same problem in different ways. Better fourth-down preparation, timeout management and late-game execution have to become part of the solution.
