Brian Costello’s keys to the game:

ON THE RUN: With 1 all the focus on the quarterback Zach Wilson’s failures last week in New England, there was not much attention paid to how poorly the Jets ran the ball. The Jets had just 59 yards rushing, and 26 of those came on Wilson scrambles. When the offense has been good this season, it has started with the run game.

“For our O-line and the way we do offense, that’s the most important thing,” center Connor McGovern said. “That’s been at the top of everyone on the O-line’s mind. We’re really looking forward to doing everything we can to get back on track.”

This could be a good week for the Jets to reestablish their rushing attack. The Bears rank 29th in run defense in the NFL.

TAKE IT AWAY:

The Jets’ defense has been very opportunistic, with 14 takeaways this season, 11 of those on interceptions. But last week, they had no takeaways against the Patriots. It was the first time this season.

“It’s the first thing I address every single day post-practice is our ball production, and I mean that’s our opportunity to really change a game,” efensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich said.

COMEBACK COREY:

Mike White will have one of the Jets’ top receivers back in the lineup this week. Corey Davis will return after missing the past three games following a knee sprain he suffered at Denver. Davis has 19 catches for 351 yards and two touchdowns this season, not eye-popping numbers, but he gives the team a veteran who can help the offense get going.

“It’s big, and sometimes you don’t feel it until they come back,” Saleh said.

MONTGOMERY MISSION:

The Bears’ offense is a bit of a mystery because of the uncertainty around quarterback Justin Fields’ availability. Fields leads the team with 843 rushing yards. Their leading rusher, Khalil Herbert (hip), is on injured reserve. That leaves David Montgomery. The Bears surely will be trying to run the ball regardless of who the quarterback is. Montgomery has 501 rushing yards. The Jets’ defense had trouble tackling against the Patriots last week and will need to be better in that area
