Film Study: Five takeaways from the Bears’ 24-10 victory against the Jets

On further review, Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky had a solid game against a Jets defense that attacked him with blitzes and various pressures on a gusty, wet day Sunday at Soldier Field. Here are five takeaways after watching the film of the Bears’ 24-10 victory:

Poised in the pocket

The next steps of Trubisky’s development must take place in the pocket, and his performance against the Jets was something to build on.

He processed and handled pressure well. Here are six plays that stood out:

• Third-and-six from the Bears’ 33 with two minutes left in the second quarter: The Jets had seven men at the line but rushed five, including two defensive backs. Trubisky completed a quick throw to receiver Taylor Gabriel for nine yards and a first down.

• Third-and-seven from the Bears’ 45 with 50 seconds left in the second quarter: The Jets rushed five, including linebacker Darron Lee, who twisted inside. Trubisky completed a 20-yard pass to receiver Kevin White, which was negated by an unnecessary-roughness penalty against guard Kyle Long.

‘‘That was one of our best plays — our best-executed play in the game, other than the screen [to running back Tarik Cohen],’’ coach Matt Nagy said. ‘‘Mitch stayed in the pocket strong. He threw it on time. Kevin made a good catch. And we had a late hit, a low hit to the quarterback, another 15 [yards]. Unfortunately, we had the penalty with Kyle.’’

• Second-and-four from the Bears’ 31 with 14:20 left in the third quarter: The Jets sent five, including safety Jamal Adams. Trubisky stayed in the pocket and completed a 14-yard pass to Gabriel.

• Third-and-10 from the Bears’ 45 with 10:43 left in the third quarter: The Jets rushed six, including Adams again, while defensive end Henry Anderson swiped his way quickly past right tackle Bobby Massie.

Trubisky had receiver Anthony Miller open to his right, but he took off and outran Adams for the first down.

‘‘That was a good job by him,’’ Nagy said. ‘‘They played good defense there, and he made a play with his legs.’’

• Second-and-11 from the Jets’ 23 with 48 seconds left in the third quarter: The Jets rushed four, but defensive lineman Nathan Shepard beat rookie left guard James Daniels. With Shepard at his feet, Trubisky stepped into his throw for a

10-yard completion to receiver Josh Bellamy.

• Second-and-six from the Jets’ 40 with 8:47 left in the fourth quarter: The Jets rushed four, but linebacker Jeremiah Attaochu got inside left tackle Charles Leno Jr.’s block.

With Attaochu at his feet, Trubisky stepped up in the pocket, kept his eyes downfield and completed a 10-yard pass to Miller.

Grounding the Jets

The Bears picked the perfect game to rest outside linebacker Khalil Mack, who still is considered day-to-day with an injured right ankle.

Rookie quarterback Sam Darnold didn’t have starting receivers Robby Anderson and Quincy Enunwa at his disposal because of injuries, and it clearly affected the Jets’ offense.

It was reminiscent of the games last season in which Tre McBride and Tanner Gentry were the Bears’ top receivers. The Jets also didn’t have center Spencer Long and running back Bilal Powell (injured reserve).

In other words, the Jets looked overmatched. Darnold’s best receiving threat was Jermaine Kearse, who made only three catches on 10 targets for 30 yards.

The Bears’ pass rush didn’t dominate. Outside linebackers Leonard Floyd and Aaron Lynch didn’t have a quarterback hit, and special-teamer Sherrick McManis was used as a rusher in the final minutes.

But the pass rush affected Darnold’s timing on some throws and didn’t need to be overwhelming because the Bears’ coverage was excellent against a banged-up receiving corps.

The Bears forced six three-and-outs in the first three quarters with the help of three false starts by the Jets and two holding penalties that were declined.

More on Floyd

Floyd’s stat line showed only two tackles, but he was noticeable on tape.

Floyd was ‘‘flying around everywhere,’’ Nagy said. He stopped running back Isaiah Crowell for no gain in the second quarter.

Floyd’s best rush came on third-and-13 from the Jets’ 37 in the fourth quarter. He looped inside of Lynch and flushed Darnold out of the pocket, forcing him to throw the ball away.

That said, Floyd still is searching for his first sack of the season.

‘‘Once you get that first one, hopefully those other ones start picking up,’’ Nagy said. ‘‘[But] I’m more than fine with where he’s at. He’s a big part of this defense.’’

Stopping the run

The Bears’ defense dominated against the run. They put pressure on Darnold to perform by limiting Crowell to 25 yards on 13 carries and Trenton Cannon to 10 yards on six carries.

It all started with defensive linemen Akiem Hicks, Eddie Goldman, Bilal Nichols and Roy Robertson-Harris. The foursome was involved in 14 tackles.

The Bears had a better rotation for them, too. Hicks, in particular, got some rest. He was on the field for only 70 percent of the Bears’ defensive plays, compared with 82 percent against the Dolphins and 92 percent against the Patriots.

The best defender

Nickel back Bryce Callahan was one of the Bears’ best players against the Jets. He was a big part of the game plan, too. He was on the field for all but one of their defensive snaps.

Callahan excelled in important moments. Two of his three pass breakups came on third down in coverage against Kearse.

He also nearly ended an entire Jets possession by himself in the fourth quarter before an unnecessary-roughness penalty against safety Eddie Jackson extended it.

On back-to-back plays, Callahan sacked Darnold on first down and broke up a pass to tight end Jordan Leggett on second down.

Callahan also prevented receiver Deontay Burnett from scoring on his 29-yard reception by not overpursuing the play. Cornerback Kyle Fuller failed to intercept the pass because of a mistimed jump, and safety Adrian Amos missed his tackle.
