How The Chicago Bears Just Delivered Another Gut Punch To The Lions
The Chicago Bears kick-started their turnaround last year when they won the Ben Johnson sweepstakes, luring the Detroit Lions’ offensive coordinator to take over as their new head coach. The impact was felt immediately by both sides. The Lions’ offense lost much of its identity, forced to change playcallers midseason as a result. This contributed to their disappointing 9-8 finish. Chicago became one of the league’s best rushing attacks, had their first top 10 offense since 2013, and won the division at 11-6.
