Four days after their exhilarating comeback win over the 49ers, the Bears return to the practice field Thursday to prepare for Monday night's road game against the Jets.
The Bears (1-1) outscored San Francisco 21-0 in the fourth quarter to turn a 20-7 deficit into a stunning 28-20 victory. They'll look to win their second straight against the Jets (1-1), who opened the season by beating the Raiders 17-14 before losing to the Packers 31-24.
