Pre-snap penalties killing, frustrating Jets: 'Good teams don't do that'

CHICAGO - Five false starts. Two neutral-zone infractions. Six different players.

The Jets did a tremendous job of crippling themselves throughout Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Bears at Soldier Field.

In total, they were flagged 10 times. Eight of them were accepted for a total of 45 yards.

But it was seven pre-snap penalties that really killed the Jets and stunted their momentum in a second straight loss.

"The good teams don't do that," cornerback Morris Claiborne said.

The Jets clearly didn't have the necessary discipline against the Bears.
