Tonight at 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN the New York Jets (1-1) will play host to the Chicago Bears (1-1) on Monday Night Football, which can be live streamed free by clicking this link. Jets fans can listen to the radio broadcast on 98.7 ESPN New York, while Bears fans may do likewise on WGN 720.
The Bears rebounded from a surprising Week 1 loss to the Bills by staging a furious second-half comeback on the road in San Francisco, with quarterback Jay Cutler connecting for three scores with wide receiver Brandon Marshall.
"We just kind of had to weather the storm," Cutler said of the poor Week 1, and equally bad first half of Week 2. "We have to take a look at this film, break it down, and then we have to move on. There's a lot of football left, so we just have to kind of keep building on this and get better and better each week."
The Jets, on the other hand, gave away a game in which they once led by 18 points. Their maligned secondary was shredded by Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson, who finished the game with 209 yards receiving. With Marshall and Alshon Jeffery coming to town, it could be another long game.
In the same game the Jets appeared to tie it up with a late touchdown pass from Geno Smith to Jeremy Kerley, but the play was wiped out by a miscommunication on the sidelines that led to an inadvertent timeout call.
"As a team, you go and you learn from this," coach Rex Ryan said. "I've seen some teams that, when you have a game like this, it can turn your season on a positive note. That's certainly the way I hope we respond to this game."
