Thanks for making us part of your day on a Monday. Well, the Chicago Bears, five seconds before Ben Johnson took over this franchise. The day before he took over the franchise, the Bears had the worst offense in the league.
20 games later, 59 points. Utter brilliance. And what's remarkable, Colston Loveland didn't have a catch. They didn't need him. Luther Burden, Roma Dunzey didn't have a touchdown. They didn't need it. They didn't need a defensive touchdown. Every few years, there is a brilliant quarterback or a brilliant offensive head coach that enters the league. And this time, they landed together. It is unbelievable. Year one, Ben Johnson came in and said, we got to clean up the sacks. There were a lot of messes to clean up. Year one was, we can't get you hit like this. They cleaned him up. Year two was, you're really good, but you missed too many laps. Let's get the efficiency and completion percentage up. Mission accomplished.
Remember after last year's 0-2 start, Ben Johnson came out and he said, we do not have the practice habits of a championship-level football team. Talent's not the issue. So there were a lot of things to clean up. Practice was bad. The schemes were bad. They had to get, you know, they had to go to the draft board and get more high-end players. Yesterday, they didn't need them. And like a McVay and like a Shanahan, These young offensive coaches, almost all of them actually love to build offensive lines and run game, right? Here's what's remarkable. Yesterday was the third time the Bears have rushed for 280 yards or more. Do you know how hard that is in the NFL to rush for 280 yards third time? Yesterday scored 59 points.
They had more rushing attempts than passing attempts. They had more rushing yards than passing yards. It was eight offensive touchdowns, eight plays of 20 yards. The Bears haven't run the ball like this since the late, great Walter Payton was a Bear and Walter Mondale was in office. And they're young. They're like the Seahawks. They're ascending. They're young on the offensive line. They're young at tight end. They're young at quarterback. They're young at wide receiver. They're young in the secondary. They're an ascending team. So Ben Johnson had to break a lot of bad habits in the organization. And then year two, what you're seeing is, okay, we're going to have a standard of excellence even at practice. That was a big thing with Ben Johnson last year.
We have talent. We don't even practice good enough. So it's just a gift to to the league that you get the brilliant head coach and the brilliant young quarterback and we're going to put them together in a blue blood franchise it is a total gift of the league and it's not just being a good head coach it's being the right coach Phil Jackson was the right coach for Michael Jordan okay Doug Collins won a lot of games with Michael Jordan and Michael Jordan liked him
