Giants-Bears Week 12: Offense, defense and special teams snap counts

The New York Giants fell to the Chicago Bears, 19-14, on Sunday afternoon at Soldier Field, dropping their record to 2-9 on the season and extending their current losing streak to a pathetic seven games.

To be honest, we’re running out of ways to cleverly describe these losses since they are all so similar in nature, and after seven straight… Let’s just be real — it’s difficult to cultivate content around the misery.

Let’s take a look at the snap counts that contributed to Big Blue’s latest loss.

Offensive snaps: 60
Defensive snaps: 76
Special teams snaps: 29

With tight ends Evan Engram and Rhett Ellison both out due to injury, it meant substantially more playing time for Scott Simonson and Kaden Smith, who scored his first career touchdown in Week 12.

Defensively, Julian Love played over 50% of the snaps for the first time this season and he played well, making a few big stops and coming up with his first career interception.
