CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Bears showed they could dominate on defense Kyler Murray Jersey , even with Khalil Mack out of the lineup.Then again, playing the Jets didn’t hurt.The Bears were ready without Mack, shutting down Sam Darnold and New York’s struggling offense in a 24-10 victory Sunday they sorely needed.“We played together,” linebacker Aaron Lynch said. “We played as one, we played aggressive and we had fun doing it. And we attacked the field every time we went out there.”There were no eye-popping statistics from any of the Bears’ players. Chicago (4-3) had just one sack and no interceptions.But the defense delivered a solid all-around effort, helping the Bears win on a day when Mitchell Trubisky threw for two touchdowns and guard Kyle Long got helped off the field with a right foot injury.The Bears outgained New York 395 yards to 207 and held big advantages in rushing (179-57) and passing (216-15). The Jets didn’t even reach 100 yards in total offense until the fourth quarter Byron Murphy Jersey , and by the time they finally got going, Chicago was putting this one away.“I don’t want to go back and forth about what any in particular guy does on this defense,” defensive end Akiem Hicks said. “I want to talk about our entire defense as a whole, and how dominant we have been and how dominant we will continue to be the rest of the year.”Here are some things to know after the Bears bounced back from consecutive losses and handed the Jets their second in a row:SELF-INFLICTEDWhile the Bears’ defense did its part, the Jets did plenty to stop themselves.They had false-start penalties on each of their first three drives. They also had one on their first possession of the third quarter, making it tougher to move the ball.“We shot ourselves in the foot on that Andy Isabella Jersey ,” Jets coach Todd Bowles said. “Especially when the crowd wasn’t that loud, those were just concentration things. It was pretty much a different guy each time.”RUNNING REVIVALJordan Howard has gone a career-long 10 straight games without a 100-yard rushing effort. But he showed signs of picking it up with 22 carries for 81 yards — his highest total since he had 82 in the opener against Green Bay.The 22 attempts were the second-most for him this season. And he set up his 2-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter with a 24-yard run, his longest of the year.DRIVE EXTENDERMitchell Trubisky’s scrambling continues to help keep the Bears moving, even when the passing game has been inconsistent. He ran for four first downs and gained 51 yards on six rushes.“We needed to continue to find ways to stay on the field and sometimes it’s me pulling the ball down and making the play for the offense,” Trubisky said.In the previous game against New England, Trubisky ran for a career-high 81 yards.CATCHING ONJets rookie tight end Christopher Herndon now has touchdown catches in three straight games.He had a 16-yard scoring pass in the fourth quarter — his lone reception.A fourth-round pick from Miami Zach Allen Jersey , he has 12 catches for 161 yards.WITHOUT LONGThe Bears have some options if Long is out for a few games or the rest of the season.Veteran Eric Kush could take over for him at right guard, though he has been bothered the past few weeks with a neck injury that kept him out on Sunday. The Bears can also turn to newly acquired Bryan Witzmann, a guard/tackle who signed three weeks ago and has knowledge of the offense because he played in it for the Chiefs under Nagy. BATAVIA, N.Y. (AP)Buffalo Bills Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly will receive ESPN’s Jimmy V Award for the toughness and perseverance he’s displayed during his ongoing battle with oral cancer.ESPN officially announced the honor Monday, a few hours after Kelly first revealed the news while attending his charitable foundation’s 32nd golf tournament outside of Buffalo. Kelly will be honored during the network’s ESPY Awards on July 18.The award is named for late North Carolina State men’s basketball coach Jimmy Valvano, who gave an inspirational speech at the ESPYs in 1993 less than two months before he died of cancer. Valvano most notably led the Wolfpack on an improbable run to win the 1983 NCAA Tournament championship.Kelly had surgery to have cancer removed from his jaw in March after tests revealed a recurrence. The 58-year-old Kelly was initially diagnosed five years ago with skin cancer and had been cancer free since September 2014.Kelly is still unable to eat solid foods. He is scheduled to have an operation on June 21 Hakeem Butler Jersey , when doctors plan to add tissue to the upper portion of his mouth. He is then scheduled to have permanent dentures inserted during another procedure in September.Kelly said he’s honored to receive the award, before joking that ”the only bad thing about it is you have to go through a lot to get it.”Difficult as it has been for him, Kelly leans on his faith and says he continues to battle to help inspire others who have cancer.”The good Lord has put me in this situation to help not only the people out there who are suffering from cancer, but little kids, too, who are going through tough times to never give up Chris Lindstrom Jersey , to keep fighting, because you never know,” Kelly said.—
