New England Patriots beat the Chicago Bears 19-3 in Sunday 's game at Soldier Field .

Kendrick Bourne didn't play a single snap in the win despite being active and having no injury designation.

Head coach Jerod Mayo says it was a conscious decision to limit Bourne 's playing time.

Bourne caught a season-high four passes for 41 yards last Sunday against the Tennessee Titans .
