Three outlets, two different games, one thin preview cycle
The Bears host the Jets in Chicago in Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season, with CBS Sports centering its preview on Garrett Wilson and D'Andre Swift as the matchup's key names. Yahoo covers the broadcast logistics. The NY Post skips the game entirely and previews the Colts-Commanders London opener instead. Three outlets, three angles, none of them overlap enough to reveal anything a single game preview wouldn't.
NFL Week 4: Bears vs. Jets preview, odds, and how to watch

What happened
The Chicago Bears host the New York Jets in Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season. CBS Sports published odds, picks, a spread, and a betting preview centered on Garrett Wilson for the Jets and D'Andre Swift for the Bears. Yahoo Sports covered the broadcast information: channel, start time, and streaming options. The NY Post published two pieces on a separate game entirely, the Indianapolis Colts against the Washington Commanders in London, England, covering both the broadcast details and a betting prediction favoring a high-scoring outcome. That is the wire version. Three outlets have pieces touching Week 4. What separates the coverage is that they are not covering the same game.
CBS Sports went deepest on Bears-Jets, but only for bettors
CBS Sports is the only outlet in this group that published a substantive Bears-Jets preview, and it is built entirely around the betting market: odds, spread, picks, and best bets. The named players are Garrett Wilson and D'Andre Swift, which tells you the editorial frame. Fans looking for injury reports, scheme breakdowns, or coaching angles get none of that here. It is a betting brief dressed as a preview.
The NY Post covered a different game entirely
Both NY Post pieces are about the Colts-Commanders London game, not Bears-Jets. One covers how to watch it for free; the other predicts a high-scoring affair. Neither piece acknowledges the Bears-Jets matchup. The Post is a New York paper covering a game involving the New York Jets and published nothing on it in this set of sources.
What one side told you that the other didn't
No outlet provided a non-betting Bears-Jets preview.
CBS Sports framed its entire Bears-Jets piece around gambling. Yahoo covered only the broadcast schedule. The result is that a reader trying to understand the game itself, matchups, recent form, injury status, coaching decisions, gets nothing. The only named players across all Bears-Jets coverage are Garrett Wilson and D'Andre Swift, both cited in a betting context. A game preview with no game analysis is just an odds sheet with a headline.
The NY Post ignored its home team's Week 4 game.
The Jets play in Chicago in Week 4 of 2026. The NY Post, a New York outlet, published two NFL pieces this cycle and devoted both to a London game between Indianapolis and Washington. No Jets content appears in the Post's coverage here. Readers of the Post looking for Jets preview material found the Colts instead.
