Is Ben Johnson Bears' Most Important Piece? Why Last 2 Games Suggest He Might Be

Despite utilizing three different starting quarterbacks, the Chicago Bears have achieved a 3-1 record under the leadership of head coach Ben Johnson. Most recently, the team dominated the New York Jets in a 23-12 victory, accumulating 492 total yards and a franchise-record 34 first downs.

Backup quarterback Tyson Bagent threw for 268 yards, while running back Kyle Monangai contributed 146 rushing yards and two scores on 30 carries. The Bears controlled the clock for nearly 43 minutes and successfully avoided punting for the entire game.

This performance followed a Week 3 win against the Philadelphia Eagles, where Case Keenum led the offense to a 27-7 victory. Colin Cowherd suggests that Johnson's ability to maintain offensive production regardless of the personnel under center establishes him as the primary architect of the team's success.
