- Bears Week 4 Snap Counts: Top Snap Counts in Win Over Jets and Analysis
The Chicago Bears dominated the New York Jets in Week 4, improving to 3-1 with a convincing 23-12 victory . While the final score tells part of the story, the snap counts provide a closer look at how head coach Ben Johnson and the coaching staff deployed their personnel throughout the game.
Several Bears players rarely left the field, particularly along the offensive line, while the defense rotated its personnel effectively. Here are the highest snap counts from Chicago's Week 4 win and what they tell us about the team's performance.

93 — QB Tyson Bagent, LT Theo Benedet, LG Joe Thuney, C Garrett Bradbury, RG Jonah Jackson, RT Darnell Wright
86 — TE Colston Loveland
83 — WR Rome Odunze
68 — TE Cole Kmet
52 — WR Luther Burden III
Notes:You read that correctly: 93 snaps on offense . That's an incredible number that kept the Jets' defense on the field, and they were likely exhausted by the end of the game. Those big Bears up front earned their postgame dinner for sure. Chicago racked up 492 yards of offense, including 232 rushing yards, making it a mauling effort from that group.

Aside from the quarterback and offensive line, Loveland led the way in snaps among the skill-position players. Odunze followed closely behind, and their production reflected their heavy involvement. Both Loveland and Odunze hauled in six receptions, recording 57 and 94 receiving yards, respectively. Their supporting counterparts also got involved, but it was clear those two remained the focal points of the passing game.
Of course, Kyle Monangai (50) and D'Andre Swift (33) served as the focal points of the ground game. Monangai led the team with 150 yards from scrimmage on the day.

31 — ILB Devin Bush
28 — CB Malik Muhammad
22 — DE Montez Sweat, DT Grady Jarrett
20 — OLB Austin Booker
Notes:On the other hand, it was a pretty smooth day at the office for the defense . The unit played nearly three times fewer snaps than the offense while holding the Jets to 0-of-7 on third down. It was also clear that Chicago could comfortably rotate its defensive line while playing a majority of its snaps with more than two cornerbacks on the field.

The "iron men" were the base secondary and Edwards, who played 100% of the defensive snaps. Bush came one snap shy of matching that mark. Aside from them, Muhammad stepped up in a big way as the nickel cornerback and provided steady play.
Ultimately, the Bears' defense delivered a dominant performance while also limiting the wear and tear on its key players.
