The Chicago Bears have become contenders again thanks to Ben Johnson. Almost no one expected the head coach to win the NFC North in his first year and also secure the No. 2 seed in the conference.

Johnson is an offensive mastermind, and as a result, he has developed Caleb Williams’ skills extraordinarily well. In addition, despite injuries, coordinator Dennis Allen’s defense has specialized in takeaways, a key factor in their success.

Now, on their path to the Super Bowl, the Bears will host Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams. However, they will have to do it without one of their most important defensive pieces: TJ Edwards.
