BEARS10, JETS 0
EASTRUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP)— Mark Bradley turned a short completion into a 57-yard touchdown 10 seconds into the final quarter. Chicago notched its second shutout this season — the Bears blanked the Packers at Green Bay on Sept. 10.
Chicago (9-1) ended two long Jets drives with interceptions of Chad Pennington in a 10-0 win. The Bears entered the game with a league-leading 27 takeaways.
"I was just reading his eyes," linebacker Brian Urlacher said of his end-zone pickoff. "I don’t think he saw me."
The Bears, coming off a 38-20 victory over the New York Giants, also became the first road team since the 1999 Redskins to win two straight games at the Meadowlands.
Thomas Jones had 121 yards rushing on 23 carries against the Jets (5-5).
