Some games you remember for the final score; others tell you something about a team.
I'm putting the Bears' 23-12 win over the Jets in the second category.
It wasn't particularly pretty. Chicago turned the ball over twice, left points on the field, and played without their superstar QB, Caleb Williams. Yet the Bears controlled the Jets to an almost absurd degree: 492-157 in total yards, 89-32 in offensive plays and 42:45-17:15 in time of possession.
