No One Has Ever Pulled This Off Before… Until Ben Johnson Took Over The Bears

People have been trying to quantify how special the 2025 season was for the Chicago Bears. The organization has been part of some amazing single-season turnarounds before. They went from 5-11 to 13-3 in 2001, 5-11 to 11-5 in 2005, and 6-10 to 12-4 in 2018. Yet something about this team felt different. They weren’t winning in your typical Bears way with great defense and a strong running game. This was driven by their pairing of young quarterback Caleb Williams and offensive wizard head coach Ben Johnson.
