Bears aim for highest-scoring offense ever under Ben Johnson
Summary

Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson expresses ambition for the team to achieve the highest-scoring offense in NFL history, following an 11-6 season in 2025. The Bears ranked sixth in offensive yards per game and third in rushing yards but finished ninth in points per game. Facing the league's toughest schedule in 2026, they are set to meet historical competitors, including the 2013 Denver Broncos, who hold the current record at 37.9 points per game. Johnson’s focus includes maximizing the potential of quarterback Caleb Williams, who showed significant improvement in his second year. Defensive adjustments are also in play after the Bears allowed over 24 points per game last season, though they face setbacks with injuries to key players.
