Jeffery Simmons is Bears' all-in move. Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson make it worth the risk
When Ben Johnson declared this offseason that he wanted to have the highest-scoring offense in NFL history, he meant it. And when the Bears beat the Panthers 59-37 in Week 1, it looked like he might need it, too.
AI Summary
The Chicago Bears finished 11‑6 in 2025, reaching the playoffs largely because of Caleb Williams’ performance, even though their defense ranked 29th in yards per play allowed. The team’s success hinged on forcing turnovers, leading the league in that category, but they struggled when they failed to create turnovers, going 2‑6 in games without multiple takeaways. Their playoff run ended in the divisional round against the Rams when they did not force a single turnover. Ben Johnson’s offseason goal of building the highest‑scoring offense was highlighted by a 59‑37 win over the Panthers in Week 1.
