The Chicago Bears continued their winning ways with an impressive 23-12 win over the New York Jets in Week 4 action.
This game was all about the Bears' defense, allowing 157 yards. How about Kyle Monangai nearly getting 150 rushing yards in the win? These are impressive performances from a team that needed to take care of business against the Jets.
It was an easy game to find multiple winners (with a few losers) from the victory. Here's a list of the biggest winners and losers from the game.
Winners and losers from Bears' win over the Jets in Week 4
Winner: Kyle Monangai, RB
Monangai rushed for 146 yards on 30 carries and two touchdowns. The Bears fed him the ball often after benching D'Andre Swift following his fumble (even if Ben Johnson says he didn't). Monangai has a thumb injury concern, but it wouldn't surprise fans if he played through it and continued his dominant season.
Loser: D'Andre Swift, RB
Speaking of Swift, his fumble was a bad moment for him and made it the second time this season he's done that. He's had a great season, but that fumble forced him off the field; he never took another snap for the rest of the game, and Roschon Johnson took over as the backup. Swift will bounce back, but it was still a tough outing: 58 rushing yards and 16 receiving yards.
Winner: Rome Odunze, WR
Finally, Odunze broke through with his best game of the season, catching six passes for 94 yards. He had a big 37-yard completion and gained a lot of YAC. That's what Bears fans needed, and he might finally be hitting his stride.
Loser: Tyrique Stevenson, CB
Why do the Bears try to force this man on us? Stevenson allowed the Jets' only big play of 20+ yards: a 58-yard touchdown pass. Yes, he had a nice tackle for loss in the game, but he's just not good in coverage and got lucky to play a New York offense that looked awful.
Winner: Dillon Thieneman, S
This rookie is just simply impressive, as he continues to be a tackling machine. He once again led the Bears in tackles with seven and was great in coverage. Thieneman might actually be a legitimate contender for Defensive Rookie of the Year.
Winner: Devin Bush, LB
It's been a quiet start to the season for Bush, but he had a breakout game in this contest. He finished with four tackles, one tackle for loss, one quarterback hit, and one sack. Bush called the game "easy"; it's easy to see why after what he did on the field.
Winner: Dayo Odeyingbo, DL
Another week where Odeyingbo is just proving everyone wrong and showing that he is playing motivated football. He finished with two tackles, one tackle for loss, one pass deflection, and one sack. The Bears might have something there with Odeyingbo, as he is showing consistent performance.
Winner: Dennis Allen, DC
They allowed just 157 yards, never let the Jets convert seven third downs, allowed just seven first downs to New York, and had the offense with the ball for just 17 minutes. Allen is on a heater right now through four games with a defense that has multiple injuries. He's showing why Johnson hired him to run this defense.

Winner: Ben Johnson, HC
492 yards of offense and a franchise-record 34 first downs in the win. Johnson has won games with three different quarterbacks (even though Case Keenum technically got the start in Week 4 as well as Week 3). It's becoming clear why Johnson is considered one of the NFL's best coaches.
