The Advocate, Newark, 0., Sun. Dec. 15, 1985 Page 3C Cold weather 'bearable' for Chicago against Jets Bv The Associated Priss The wind, the cold, even a light snow flurry. It was Chicago Bears weather. "If you think that was cold, just wait," said Bears defensive end Richard Dent after Chicago's defenders and the elements had combined to shut down the New York Jets in a 19-6 Bears victory Saturday.

"It wasn't that cold. Wait until you get to Chicago in January. Then you'll see what cold is all about." The Bears held the National Football League's second-ranked offense to 159 yards and limited Ken O'Brien, the league's top-rated quarterback, to 12 completions in 26 attempts for 122 yards. On offense, the Bears were only slightly more efficient, but they got four field goals from Kevin Butler and the first touchdown of tight end Tim Wrightman's NFL career a seven-yard pass from quarterback Jim McMahon in the second quarter. "It doesn't matter what the day is like," said McMahon.

"You still have to play." But the weather a wind which gusted up to 28 mph and brought the wind-chill factor near zero did have an affect on the game, which lifted Chicago's record to 14-1, the league's best. The Jets, 10-5, still can clinch a playoff spot with a victpry over Cleveland next Sunday. "The wind was atrocious," said Butler, a rookie from Georgia, who has hit on 14 straight field goal tries on the road. "But having the wind blowing the way it did was better than it swirling. When you have it direct in your face or against you, you can prepare mentally for it.

"In Soldier Field (the Bears' home), it's harder because it swirls much as he felt to the ground. After a lengthy conference, the officials ruled the ball hit the ground. Television replays indicated that Springs made the interception without the ball falling to the surface. McMahon tried to pass on the next play, but was chased out of bounds for a loss. However, Jets cornerback Johnny Lynn was called for a personal foul a 15-yard penalty.

The Bears drove the remaining 45 yards to complete an 80-yard drive and took a 10-3 lead on Wrightman's scoring catch. From there, the defenses the Bears are ranked first in the NFL. the Jets ninth took control. It was the first time since the season-opener that the Jets failed to score a touchdown. The Jets pulled within 10-6 on a 55-yard field goal by Leahy early in the third quarter.

A shanked punt by Chicago's Maury Buford went only 17 yards and died at the Bears 38. After three incompletions, Leahy, helped greatly by the gusting wind, hit the longest field goal in team history. But the Bears came right back, with McMahon hitting Payton for the 65-yard play that set up Butler's 31-yard field goal against the wind. The ball just made it over the crossbar. It was Butler's 26th field goal this season, a Bears' record.

Butler kicked two field goals in the fourth quarter. Broncos 14, Chiefs 13 John Elway, victimized by five interceptions, rallied to complete three key passes on a drive in the closing minutes and Sammy Winder dove one yard for a touchdown as the Denver Broncos kept their slim playoff hopes alive with a victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. more. The Bears' defense, ranked atop the NFL. never let New York get untracked as the Jets lost at home for the first time this season.

"They were getting frustrated more and more each time we stopped them," said safety Dave Duerson, who recovered a first-quarter fumble. "When Otis (Wilson) got his sack, I saw the guy he beat banging his fist on the ground and talking to himself." Walter Payton. the NFL'a all-time leading rusher, wasn't doing much talking after having his streak of consecutive 100-yard rushing games stopped at nine. Payton gained only 53 yards on 28 carries. "I'm not disappointed I didn't get 100 yards," said Payton.

"I'm disappointed in the way we attacked." Although Payton was stopped on the ground, he played a pivotal role with a 65-yard pass reception in the third quarter which led to a field goal. Butler's field goals traveled 21, 18, 37 and 31 yards. A turnover that counted and one which didn't played a major role in the outcome. After the Jets forced a Chicago punt following the Bears' first possession. New York quarterback Ken O'Brien connected with tight end Mickey Shuler on a 15-yard pass.

But Shuler dropped the ball while running with it and Dave Duerson recovered at the Bears' 44. Chicago then marched 54 yards in nine plays for Butler's 18-yard field goal. After the Jets tied it on Pat Leahy's 23-yard field goal, the Bears got a big break. On the first play of the second quarter, McMahon launched a long pass for Willie Gault. Jets safety Kirk Springs caught the ball and juggled it PAYTON ON THE MO E.
